-- Some players have filed a formal complaint
-- They claim that the winner subscribes to 'Sports Illustrated'
-- That would have given him an unfair advantage

Aiming to begin in a couple of hours, though there may be a slight delay -- depending on the length of the lines at the polling station.
Driving the entire GG staff over there in the Matt Mobile so that they can exercise their rights as citizens.

Vote for the good guys and punch your ticket firmly, Matt. We don't need any hanging chads.

GG staff members are smartly assuming their work stations while proudly displaying their 'I Voted Today' stickers.
Uh-oh, slight delay -- I have to break up a heated political discussion going on over there between Stan the Scorekeeper and Dwight the DDC Doorman before it escalates into physical violence.
And I even warned Stan NOT to wear his red MAGA hat to the office today!

frantically doing last minute research in my Postman Weekly and Phone Operators Gazette. And this time get serious about your postings, Bat -- don't just phone it in the way you usually do. Remember -- you're a defending champ, and that carries certain responsibilities.

Unfortunately, it is now raining pretty hard and the computer always goes into molassas mode when the wires outside are so much as damp … Just in case …. the robe and crown are on the table in the DDC …. robe neatly pressed and folded and the crown polished and that loose ruby has been reset !

OK, order and peace and harmony has been restored here at GG central headquarters.
As one of the Hammond brothers yells to Joel McCrea and Randy Scott before their climactic shootout in RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY --
"Start the ball rolling, old man!"

Don't worry about the ruby, Bat -- it's insured. It was included in the new policy that insurance salesman Walter Neff sold me yesterday -- along with the accident rider. It was an extra copy that I signed underneath the other that he said I need not bother to read -- the one that Lady Garth was smiling at when I did.
