    Johnny Otis can do no wrong in Samp's eyes. This is only a 5 for me.

    Bruce is spot on about Samp and some of his pumped up Johnny Otis reviews but apparently several of those voting here shared some of those views----just look at that Round One result for instance!!

    I currently have this as a low 6 but that is generous and probably well due revising

    This is an insane result for our group. "Serve Another Round" is great, and this Otis is just okay at best.
