I, uh, just realized that this is my week to do this thing, so, yeah. I'll have it out tomorrow. Sorry 'bout that!

I was wondering, in the event this wasn't already decided, if things were going to go as normal for Joe's week or if there was going to be a guest judge. Because:

a. This is Joe's heaviest month for submissions, where he has a review up roughly every day. So it's kind of like that week where Marc took Venter's week because he had 3 or so reviews up for it and him being in the mix ensured we'd have at least 3 contestants and no hold-overs.

b. While I'd find this hilarious, it does mean that if Joe does this week like normal, EmP would have his 6-7 reviews for next week, as well as his 6-7 reviews for this week. And that'd be some weird judging where you're going through 14ish reviews for one guy to determine which is the best AND THEN comparing it to 2-5 other reviews to see what stacks up where.

But on the other hand, making EmP judge 19 reviews, 14 by one person, in a week is kind of funny, so maybe we wanna keep things like normal!

Did you just volunteer me for, like... work? Under the pretense of 'helping Joe' or 'helping Emp'?

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say I just made a suggestion that someone may want to think about things, while also stating the concept of EmP having to judge 20 reviews, 14 by one person, would also be really funny. Not as funny as it'd be if we did Review of the Month instead of RotW and he had to do ALL of OctJOEber, but still really funny.

So I guess that instead of volunteering someone, I made a suggestion and then kind of talked myself out of it because keeping to the norm would be more amusing for me, but figured I'd leave it up in case anyone else had input/ideas.

I could probably be talked into doing it, but I don't know which week it is, and Joe himself hasn't weighed in on the situation.

I don't mind doing this week. As with previous years, if anyone wants to skip my reviews for ROTW, that's fine. EmP can skip my holdovers, if he chooses. At the same time, if someone wants to take over for this week, feel free.

Well that's easy! I'd only help if someone wanted the help. It's Emp's call then.

I mean... I'll openly take all the help I can get!

Well, since you asked nicely (or asked at all, really), I can pitch in.

Wait, so are you taking my week or EmP's week? I'm confused.

Sorry for the confusion -- after all that, I'm not able to pitch in this time for either of you.

No biggie! All is done.

If you happen to read my reviews, Gary, good luck. If you end up skipping them, that's perfectly fine, as I've left that offer on the table over the years, realizing it's kind of unfair for someone (especially anyone following my week) to have to read and critique all of those reviews.

Time for my Joe excuse topic, I guess. This week has got away form me; I had the topic more or less typed up Monday and then stuff got busy. Soon. Probably soon.

I'm due a late one, anyway.

SPOILER ALERT: Mine this week will likely be Friday, as I have a busy week myself, so even if there only are four reviews to get through, they'll be waiting until things have died down a bit.

I'll be working on ROTW today. Probably have it out around midnight PST or a little later.
