Actually, to Josiah Hamill. And to the rest of the top ten in the contest. I'm sure the parents are proud, too, but it's the kids who deserve all the credit.

Nice job, Josiah.

As for you, Mr. politicket, whether we congratulate or tease you depends on your hang time on that post-win jump....

Thanks to everyone for the support. It was an unexpected victory and we are excited to see how the Lord uses this event to His glory!

There was a lady at the bee that does professional video documentaries. She put together a 3 minute video synopsis that folks might enjoy seeing. It's on the Rocky Mountain News website: http://www.insidedenver.com and can also be seen by clicking here.

He nailed stupefacient, meaning "bringing about a stupor,"

I am taking my annual golf/alcohol vacation next week. It is sure to be stupefacient.

It was actually 4 out of the top 6! :-)

First, Third, Fifth, and Sixth. That wasn't too bad of a showing considering that fact that there were only 7 homeschoolers out of the original 263 kids.

• Josiah Hamill, first place, home- schooled, Franktown - stupefacient

Fantastic! Young Josiah could teach many members of FreeRepublic a thing, or two!
