I put "Not Homer" on the scoreboard back in October for the funnies, assuming someone would immediately notice. No one did. And then you ran away with the bingos in the back half of the season and it looked like it wouldn't matter. And then I had a really good final 2 weeks and I left it there because it was hilarious and I definitely thought someone would notice at that point.
Nope!
And, no, we didn't tie. You won! The tiebreaker is number of games with bingos, you did it in fewer games.
Obviously, I remembered all that.
So, the Universe has righted itself and the throne has been returned to its rightful owner. I will accept $10s and $20s, peasants.

Okay, I'm all caught up in terms of 'collecting' the dabs; went through every game thread back to game 56. Side note: we were REALLY bipolar with our confidence in the season outcome. I was rolling at some of the stuff we were saying.
Now I'm going to go back and check the cards (this is the part I have automated so collecting all the dabs first is a good way to batch process.)
For your intermission enjoyment, here's a summary of the most dabbed squares through ~80 games. ("~" because there were some games so objectively bad for bingo that I didn't bother using the grid and the cards could be eyeballed in real time as having no bingos.)

Full transparency...not gonna get to bingo cards before the next game. Busy with work and have an apartment inspection tomorrow (gotta hide the non-kosher mods). **But** after a longish work session Friday morning, I should be able to start making a dent. If Saturday was anything other than #UnitedInBrunch I'd commit to catching up before the Tampa game.
Wait, the schedule really has them with 2 days off in Florida??
