In order of finish:
Morris Stegosaurus (mstegosaurus)
Alex Charalambides (hairy_lamb)
Urban (the sole rookie)
Ryk McIntyre (on his first slam team since 1991)
Good slam with the usual Worcester Weirdness. And, Worcester’s first ever all male team.
Two slammers deliberately self-destructed in the final round:
Jon Wolf told the audience he didn’t deserve to be there and only got into the slam because someone else dropped out — so he begged the judges to give him zeroes (and 3 out of 5 complied, leaving him with a score of 8.0);
Dave Mac (penny_player) dropped “Sex is Funny” and asked the audience to just start yelling out words to improv from — he let that go on for a minute, then said “Thank You!” and got off the stage. He got a 6.8 combined score — lower than the guy who asked for zeroes! He told me afterward he thought the sound of all those words being shouted out was beautiful.
I love the Worcester scene for its refusal to take this at all seriously.
Morris will likely give the full blow by blow later.
Got home to the aftermath of a power outage and no ISP service till this AM — so those of you to whom I owed e-mails — sorry.

Re: all men
gen was the coach of team consisting of Matthew, Eiric, Andy, and Ragan. I’m not entirely sure, though, whether it totally counts as all-male, if you know what I mean.

Good point. My language wasn’t clear.
Dave was pretty much out of the running at that point; but Jon still had a shot, albeit a long shot.
I still haven’t quite decided what I think about what he did, but I know he did it from the heart, so who am I to judge?

To be fair, I think Dave didn’t intend to spin out like that. I think he just went with it when it happened. Kind of like going limp in a car accident.

We have an all-male team, too. I believe it’s our first, as well. Crazy.
