Four 100 point winners this time around.  There was an earlier sawblade contest here: https://ellgab.com/index.php?topic=96.msg358345#msg358345  It was also sold by Shurly Dietrich.

@KSM: 50 points

KSM wins 50 big ones because he chose a saw company that I had made up.  I got the name Daniell from yet another actor that I like, Henry Daniell.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Daniell Great actor.  Great choice, KSM!

I wish I lived a 100 years ago. It was OK to pray.

[JUAN]

It’s OK to pray now.  Pray in their totalitarian faces.

[TigerLily]

I think you are missing the point. It's ok to pray. Or ok not to pray. As we each choose. Now. Shall we all skip back over to Politics hand-in-hand? If we choose
