I'm beat.
It's 1am and I'm off to bed. I won Best of the Worst - and don't think I won't get mileage out of that - after the reset.
Basically, they ran a second tournament on Sunday, which I won. The top spots from Saturday played on for the big prizes. Obviously I've got a million things to say.
Later.
On the way home I avoided a huge wreck. I pulled in front of an obvious drunk and only a couple of moments later he lost control, swerving along 3 lanes of traffic before smashing into a red jeep with two teenagers. I watched in the rear-view as the jeep rolled 5 or 6 times straight at me, launching pieces across a quarter mile.
I pulled onto the median and ran back to render aid. The drunk waved to me as he drove off. I didn't know what to think.
I honestly thought the passengers would be dead, but the kid had pulled his girlfriend from the wreckage before I could get there. I did stop him wandering in traffic, but I couldn't do more than wait for the cops.
It got me thinking, for obvious reasons. Here's hoping everyone made it home safe.
And I hope the drunk enjoys prison. The cops found the car, so it's only a matter of time.

First off, glad everyone was okay.
Secondly, Congrats on being the best of the worst...
...odd, that almost sounds like an insult...
...well, congrats anyways!
Congrats on the award, I am sure there is a ton more we'll get to hear about soon enough.
The car wreck... that's one of those defining moments in a persons life in my opinion. Good to hear both occupants were alive and kicking. Hope the drunk rots in hell.
Yikes, glad everyone was reasonably OK. I bet that the drunk was that SW player you folks were looking for. ;-)
Congrats on the award. It's like a Rocky movie! Get pummeled early on and come back big!
Wow. Not everyone would go back like that Brent - you deserve plenty of credit for trying to help.
Grats on the win, such as it was.
Also, I don't remember where it was, but wherever Herr Fernseher said that it should be transformed into a spectator event...I agree, though it needs to be like Tennis, Golf or Cricket - ie reserved and largely silence and polite clapping.
Brent is my hero <3
Congrats Brent, and I'm glad you avoided the wreck, just too bad your "Storm Raven" wasn't caught up in it! :)
Brent... in all seriousness. you are my internet hero right now.
Wow. Talk about a way to end a weekend. Thank you for going back, too many people today just drive on or marvel at the accident, not thinking of the lives involved.
Congrats on your win! Well done!
Thank ya thank ya!
