Futile century, and saved by snowmen

I played two MTT-Rs last night, and each featured an extreme rarity. In the first one, I played 101 hands and failed to make the money, achieving the mythical futile century at last. In the second, I "fell in" on hand 47, but was rescued from hitting the rail by being dealt pocket eights which held up, meaning that I was saved by snowmen :-) It was another blue session to boot. All is right in my poker world.
