There appears to have been a lil' confusion surrounding the last temp rule, so I edited the votes to fit accordingly. We can assume that the temp rule has now expired for all users.

Today, we mourn (or celebrate, depending on your preference) the loss of Greg Pease's Geometrie. This is the second time in a row that we lose a blend termed by JimInks as "mildly moist." But I suppose that is neither here nor there. After all, he called 1792 "very moist" and I'd wager that @VDL_Piper would call that an understatement of criminal proportions.

With Cringle Flake and Winchester taking pot shots from all sides, Watch City's 558 has managed to sneak into the lead by a couple hit points. In a quiet and unassuming rise, this blend - a crumble cake in flake's clothing - has far surpassed the performance of its brother WC blend, BiPolar Express. It's the Peyton to BiPolar's Eli. But is there a Tom Brady in the wings waiting to surpass them both?
