I keep seeing you guys mentioning people being 'upright' as judges..

A-hem... From what I've been seeing on this list, either these guys are judging early in the morning (with hang overs), or their wives are propping them 'upright' in their chairs w/drinks in hand...Or maybe they are propping themselves up with their shotguns?

It's okay Science Teacher. I think it was just me saying upright. . . I thought it sounded better than downleft. . . Good judges all three, and I'm sure that they never touch a drop of alcohol. EVER.
