She's the third back-to-back champion, as Karin took TQIV & TQV, and Mrs.5000 took TQIX & TQX.<BR/><BR/>The Silver goes to the TQ XII winner, Allie.<BR/><BR/>The Blue Star goes to Rex Parker, his fourth.<BR/><BR/>Abundant Green Stars this week, to becky, drschnell, and chance. It's the first TQ star for the latter two, although chance has an exclamation point in his trophy case already.<BR/></B>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-89948622457264249902007-12-06T22:31:00.000-08:002007-12-06T22:31:00.000-08:00Smashing.
