Anyway. It seems that the Sluter/Leighton match ended in a tie, which is actually kind of convenient since Miro and Masseys have been sitting on a tie as well. So, let's get these tiebreakers rolling, shall we? Yes, we shall.

ReplyDeleteShu-ju goes for Miro, Eavan for Sluter, on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteNora thinks Sluter for sure. I'll go with Miro.
ReplyDeleteThis is tough. One is vibrant and exciting but not very impressive. One is technically impressive but kind of boring. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm.
I like to play a game in museums. If you found it in the attic, knowing nothing about it, what would you do with it? Hang it up, throw it away, or give it as a gift? (There's no sell it option because you don't think of it has having monetary worth; any ale would be like at a garage sale.)
I guess I'd be happier to find a Sluter. I'd display it in my living room. I might throw away a Miro. So I'm going with Sluter.
Well, I'd be happy with either in my living room, though we'd probably have to reinforce the floor for a Sluter. I'm voting for Miró.
ReplyDeleteLawrence says Miro' on FB, Grace says Sluter.
ReplyDeleteMiro' for me!
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Miro.

ReplyDeleteYes! Miró!
ReplyDeleteGood turnout for this one, as Miro' wins by a nice twelve to four margin. He takes on Viera da Silva in the next match!
