[Sca-cooks] OT- CELEBRATION!!!!

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

hey man, I'm just tickled that they didnt choke (as they usually do.
Sheesh! for as much money as those guys make, you'd think they could hold

Still, its kinda scary they're doing as well as they are....Seattle isnt
used to being in the top rankers of anything....
