Guest Post by Team Cange:
CO-CHAMPIONS
FOR 2013!!! Team Cange and Team Parkinson together claim the ‘first
time ever’ shared first place prize in the 2013 LPG!!
After an
extremely frustrating drought over the last (how many?) weeks of only
needing one plate, and after nothing but the sound of crickets from all
competitors over those weeks, FINALLY today the ‘where
oh where is Delaware’ turned into the ‘There oh There is Delaware’!!
But Team Cange
would not have seen the Delaware plate without the unselfish assistance
of Team Parkinson who so graciously shared the big find with Team
Cange. We will not have any ‘globbing on’ as happened
embarrassingly in prior years; it is Co-Champions for 2013!!
To add even more
decisiveness to the shared victory, see the other two attachments for
plates also seen by Teams Cange and Parkinson today: one from Puerto
Rico and one from, are you ready for this: Washington
D.C. (which is actually the second one from D.C. that we saw this
summer!!). We have never seen D.C. plates before during our years of
playing the game.
So, John, I hope
you kept that box for the crown as we advised last year so you can mail
the crown back to its rightful place in Southern California. Please
mail it to: Team Parkinson.

Team Debbie's response:

OMG! Congratulations!

How
generous of you to share your victory with Team Parkinson. Has Team
Parkinson collected all 50 states? If not, I believe the victory
belongs to Team Cange, alone. Sorry, Team Parkinson...get over it. I
think the "globber rule" aka "globbing on rule" applies, but I will
defer to the group's decision on the matter..

Or if they find their last plate, say after one of us, does that mean, for example:
1st place + 3rd place = 2nd place?
Just trying to clarify where we all stand...doesn't seem quit fair, but again, I will defer to the consensus of the group.
