Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.

You're not missing much, honestly - this was a pretty nondescript show, other than Spree being lost for the first time in over a year and a half (last loss was on 10/9/2015) and a showcase that celebrated Drew's birthday. Crappy lineup, too.

Shopping Spree - L
Card Game - L
Side by Side - W
That's Too Much! - L

I hadn't really thought about this before, but the reality of death means that every day there are less people in the world than the day before.  In reality there are many more people in the world than this but for illustration: If one day there are 1000 people in the world and the next day 55 people die, now there are 945 people in the world. if 30 more die the next day now there are 915 people in the world. So we'll eventually become extinct as will all creatures as the same reality applies to dogs, cats, horses etc.

Sneaky setups in Double Cross and Shopping Spree.
As soon as I saw the 1st Price in That's Too Much , I had the feeling you needed to stop early to win.

Card Game with a Low 'Ace' addition ( Only adding $500 to the Price )
I'm trying to remember the last time an Ace was use, after going Over the Price of the Car.

Wow, I didn't realize Shopping Spree had gone that long without a loss. The elliptical trainer didn't look overly cheap but it was definitely the item to avoid.

Love how Drew STILL refers to Double Cross as "one of our newest games"... after nearly 5 years.

That is one of the things that does annoy me, though I thought the last few times it's been played, he has not said that, making me think he was over it!
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
