For my next shot. 5 ball off the left bank, down the toboggan run, between the winter lord's legs, off the truck mirror... drivers side of course, into the bottom level gravity geyser, down the chimney, off the flaming logs, right corner pocket.

If it wasn't bad enough that Jimmy wore that ugly jacket, everytime he made a shot he would start singing Michael Jackson's Beat It.

Thanks!

One question - does winning this disqualify me from all the games (like the story game they run on Friday) for the next six weeks, or only from this game?
