Craiger wins!!!! Pulling off the worst to first! (almost)

Craiger, Face and Lambertuzzi mount the podium in the hockey pool. Congrats guys!

Was that a game or what?! You couldn't ask for a better match than that. Who is this Crosby guy...crapping beds all playoffs then he pots the winner. The hockey gods shine their lights on that guy, eh?

In a hugely respectable position, Carter 1 finished 4th in the pool not much ahead of their cross-house nemesis, Carter 2. The poop duty bet may be a wash....

Marty, marty, farty, farty...rough going pal. BLNT, I guess.

All wins the Nordic Combined Pool Event with a 1-5 finish in the OP and HP pools respectively.

Thanks for participating, gang. We get a two year rest before London 2012...we'll need it!

The Commish, over and out.

And the winner is....

(are) Alli and Emma!!!

Congrats to the two research-driven wonders! I didn't think we'd need a tie-breaker, so that was dumb. Next time around we'll make it the medal count or scandal count or something. Oh well. You guys will split the first and second place winnings.

42 Quebec St. seems to be getting rich on this particular pool. That should work out to about $0.50/hour or so...not bad given this poor economy.

The Lytles almost made it out of the basement...losing to hockey star Craig by just a point. Losing by 22 to "Random Pete" is tough.

Alex and Sue took the battle of the Carters handly, and maybe passed off dog poop duty for a year with their effort. We'll need to see how the hockey pool standings fair.

Overall, a warm and wonderful Olympics...one to remember. Congrats to the US for their staggering victory in the medal count (though all of us really know that its the GOLD MEDAL COUNT that really matters).

Thanks everyone for taking the time to get your entries and for making all the posts online. Tons of fun.

Final tallies are below. Get your cash in ASAP, losers.

Final SCANDAL! Rulings

1) Women's Hockey Team Celebrates Win: What a travesty. First winning and then being HAPPY you won!! Imagine celebrating with disgusting accessories like BEER and CHAMPAGNE! The horror. As the Winnipeg Free Press rightly noted, "Think of the consequences if these public displays of happiness get out of hand, Jacques. Grown women. Smoking. Drinking. What's next? Demanding the right to vote? Wanting to head major corporations? The mind boggles." Verdict: SCANDAL!

2) Scandal! Judge makes a b-s scandal ruling (see above) to ensure that his parents don't win the SCANDAL! count for this Olympic Pool. What's the opposite of nepotism, folks? Un-nepotist? Anti-nepotant? Either way, this one goes on the books. Verdict: SCANDAL!

So, as the torch has been un-lit (anti-lit?) the official SCANDAL! Count sits at: 7

Any Last Minute Submissions?

Hey Folks - Last SCANDAL! ruling coming up today... any last minute contenders to submit??
