"verklempt"? Is that a contraction for Werner Klemperer? As far as the "shock and awe" is concerned, isn't that what we did to the Iraqis?

Obviously not. Hard to commit shock and awe after 3 months of warnings.

That is true.

Well, I should be pissed at you, since you cost me an extra $14, but it's the thought that counts. I put a limit of $103.57 on my bid, so I wasn't too worried about losing with less than a couple hours left. If it makes you feel better, I have intended since the outset to "win this one for the Effer", and I'm going to send it to him (probably with some books I want him to sign for me), for his own bookshelf. I thought it was outrageous for Paul not to have one of his own ARCs.

I guess great minds think alike.

Well cool, I'm glad you aren't too pissed. I should have checked to see if I was bidding against somebody from the board. I would have never made it to $103.57 My max was going to be $80. Either way, I'm glad FPW will finally have a copy of that thing. I still feel bad that it cost you extra. I'll buy you dinner if we ever both make it to one of the GUs.

I never saw that. Someone must have bid past the reserve price. That sucks.
