You gotta be kidding me! I ran to the web to pick my knife and I see I was beaten out by .01 trillionth of a second?? Argh! I got over-bid by .01
Though for sure I had it at 3:40.00
Owning a Damascus was that close.
No Silver Medal in these Olympic trials?(just kidding)
It will certainly be a depressing night.

PS- Thomas I sent you a note on my Spec Bump this afternoon to a different email address I had for you. Last time I sent you an email it went to your SPAM folder- so just a heads up.
Thanks for the fun !! I never got so excited over a foot race before.

SV- the clock is ticking. Those Damascus blades must be burning a hole in Thomas' desk. Isn't there a "title goes to the runner-up" rule if the winner doesn't respond?
Still depressed about the .01 beating I took !!

Isn't there a "title goes to the runner-up" rule if the winner doesn't respond?

It's the "I'll Take It!" rule...And I'm already at the front of the line!

Congrats again SV for winning a very nice knife.

There was a very nice article in the San Diego Union Tribune online about the other winners in this contest, the three athletes that will represent the US in the 1500 in Beijing:

Lucky guess SV...

Wasn't luck. I called Lagat as soon as I seen this posted and
asked if he could shoot for a tad over 3:40 and still win.
He said "no sweat".

Congrats, SV!!

Thanks Thomas (and all other Kershawians) for these great contests!

Here's the Dam Leek thanks to GG's great generosity.
Man what a beauty. Now I have to get a Scallion to
make a trio.

Thanks again Coach!! :thumbup:

Nope. I don't think they actually exist. Kinda like the mythical ZTNIP.

 

[svrider3]

Oh, there's one out there. Just gotta know where to look.

Meh. I dunno... Pretty shady-looking website (privacy page has a whole other blank page attached to the bottom of it...looks unfinished), no real-time in-stock info, etc.

Mayhaps I'll have to do some research in the "Good, Bad, & Ugly" section, first...

Here's a little postscript to the contest. The LA Times (and just about every other news outlet) has a nice story about Lopez Lomong being selected by his Olympic teammates to carry the US flag during the opening ceremonies.
