Iron Chef:

In a stunning turn of events (brought about by Pheonix Wright’s careful courtroom analysis) the previous year’s winners, Meri “MeriC” Cantoni and Michael “VegettoEX” LaBrie, split their team to go head-to-head and compete against one another, instead of combining their efforts against the scheduled competitor. The victor was MeriC.

In late-night competition Rob “Toothpickvic” of Chaotic Bad Raptor vanquished all comers.

Hmmm. Guess I don't get the reference, I thought it was a typo.

Corrected.

[godix]

We know Godix's real name now!

It's the biggest event since Spiderman unmasked himself!

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. Oh well. Fortunately google doesn't know my name, not as associated with me at least.

Dude, whatever. I knew that since Mrs Godix told it to me back in the day.

Someday I need to explain the entire point of anonymity to her.
