As the angry mob circles my house hurling epithets and lit torches at my windows I have come to realize that it is time to kill off MDFS. Therefore, I announce the MDFS Tournament of Champions. Prizes?! Heck, yeah! The winner will receive a lovely certificate, suitable for framing, declaring them to be the MDFS Grand Champion of the Millennium and signed by The Distinguished Panel of Judge (me!). Also, some other appropriately flourish-y means of public identification and compensation as yet to be determined...... Do *not* submit answers to AMMF!!! Any discussion of answers on AMMF will immediately disqualify discussion participants (ooo...i love the power!!) E-mail your answers directly to TDPoJ (me! tamra@fruhead.com ) no later than Midnight, October 6, 1999. Each contestant may submit ONE ENTRY ONLY!!! Multiple entries will be deleted. So take the advice of that blue tinted guy who was guarding the chalice in the third Indiana Jones Movie: "Choose Wisely" In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the timeliness of the entry and quality of personal favors rendered (just kidding!). 1. Origami Enthusiast Advocates Hi-rise Solution 2. Shake and Bake Philosophy 101 (hint: *not* Johnny S'pan!!) 3. Sluggishly Monitoring Shelly Hacks's Career 4.

Reviewing Gordie Howe's stats, it turns out he was never much of an overtime hero, with not a single OT goal in the playoffs in his 26 NHL seasons. Couldn't find his regular-season OT stats, though, so he may have put up a few OT markers then. If anyone knows how many overtime goals Gordie has, I'd be interested in knowing.

This is my first post to the list (oooooh. . . my hands are shaking. . .I am a lurker by nature and will probably return to my rock afterwards.)
