9/24: Box Office Showdown

[Peter Oberth]

Filling in for Johnny (again, the lazy bastard) this week...

NOTE: In order to win, you must beat any shakefire member guessing. If you come in second behind a shakefire member, you will receive the runner-up prize, if any, and the grand prize will be held over and ADDED to the next week's prize. So, very much like the lottery, the prizing can keep building up. This change is based on comments, complaints, bricks throw in our window, etc.
