TGIF!

Imaginiff... Results
Well the first game of 2007 is in the books, and below are the results. Since the game is supposed to be played with one particular person in mind, I was unsure how it'd turn out, but it looks like I did get a few different responses for each game (cash probably won game #2 because it was played after Christmas when everyone's in need of some!)

Last night while driving home from work, I started brainstorming ways I could change the game so that it is based on one person instead of a generic "you." But the only person all of you have in common is me, and it would be WAY too damaging to my ego to play these games with me in mind (lol) so I thought well, what about a celebrity version? Answer the questions that day based on a well-known celebrity. What do you think? Keep it as-is, or make some changes to future games? Respond back in my poll, which is just below these results.

Players: 35
Imaginiff #1:
Imaginiff you were the subject of a photograph. What form would it take?
1. Seated, formally dressed (13) - 2 points
4. Making a funny face (11) - 1 point
5. Action shot (8)
2. Police mug shot (2)
3. Out of focus (1)
6. Cover of The Enquirer

Imaginiff #2:
Imaginiff you were to be honored. Which of the following would you be happiest to accept?
3. Cash award (25) - 2 points
2. Parent of the Year (7) - 1 point
5. Being knighted (2)
6. Simple thank-you note (1)
1. Employee of the Month
4. Blackwell's Best Dressed List

How should I continue playing Imaginiff...?
Keep it the way it is - it's fun!
Have a celebrity version where you use celebrity names instead of the generic "imagine if you were..."
Other (post a comment!)
None - I don't like the new game.

Quite a few places in southern Wisconsin hit 50 degrees but Prairie du Chien was again the hot spot at 52.

Today in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina: Showers and thunderstorms today, some perhaps severe. More showers on Sunday. Highs in the 70s through the weekend.
... Severe weather outlook...
A warm front is expected to lift north of the region today with
an unseasonably warm... moist and unstable air mass blanketing
southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina this afternoon.
A strong upper level disturbance over Mississippi this morning is
forecast to move into the Carolinas by later this evening. A
squall line across the Panhandle of Florida and southern Alabama
during the morning hours... will move into south Georgia during
the afternoon and possibly into southeastern South Carolina this
evening.

The unstable air mass ahead of the line of thunderstorms combined
with afternoon heating and increasing wind fields above the surface
will enhance the risk of severe thunderstorms across the area
later today and this evening. The main hazards will be damaging
winds... large hail... and the possibility of a few tornadoes.

Emergency managers... the media and the public should continue to
follow this potentially dangerous situation. Stay tuned to NOAA
Weather Radio all hazards... TV or your local new source for the
latest statements from the National Weather Service.

Today in League City and Pearland, Texas: Morning fog, then decreasing clouds. A chance of showers Saturday. Highs lower 70s today but cooling into the lower 60s for highs this weekend.

Dense fog has developed across portions of southeast Texas mainly along
and south of a line from Moss Hill to Houston Intercontinental Airport
to East Bernard to Morales. Reduced visibilities to 1/4 mile or less
can be expected.

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be reduced to
less than 1/4 mile in and near the advisory area. If driving... slow
down... use low beam headlights and leave plenty of distance between
you and the car in front.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or other weather news sources for
further updates.
