Doug: Thanks, everybody. Well, friends, it's time to say goodbye to Net Poker after ten fun-filled, great years.

I mentioned during our fifth anniversary special that, with your help, we'd make it to our tenth year. We got there -- but I'll be the first to admit, we kind of limped along near the end.

But along the way, I hope Net Poker informed you, teased your brain and entertained you over this past decade.

A few notes before we close up shop. Scarlett's going to stick around for our last episodes of Hot Dice and Net Crag here on the network. Both of those shows go to a new platform in the new year. Scarlett's pursuing a new career at the turn of the year. Tell the folks where you're going to be.

Scarlett: I'll be working for Mr. Rich Mann down in Gulfport, Mississippi at the fabulous Bonus Island Resort and Casino. I'll be working as a slot hostess.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Seems appropriate. Scarlett helped create a couple of the Video Slot Challenge games we used here on Net Poker. Best of luck with that. And we *really* need to wish the best of luck to Deborah JoAnn "D.J." Hamilton.

There's a reason she's been acting as giddy as a little school girl and she spent so much time on the phone. Deej, care to break the news -- and a few hearts?

(D.J. shows off her engagement ring) (more cheers)

Doug: That bodyguard you've been dating finally popped the question!

D.J.: John sure did. We're getting married New Year's Eve and moving to Colorado.

Doug: We're so happy for you. I can't thank you enough for being a tremendous part of this network. She's been with us since we started Net Bumper Stumpers way back in --.

D.J.: Do you really have to say the year?

(audience laughs)

Doug: Well -- we do -- 1998. Best of luck in all you two pursue in Colorado.

D.J.: Thank you -- and thanks to y'all. Y'all have been the heart and soul of VBS. Thank you.

Doug: Thank you, Deej and Scarlett. As for *my* next adventure -- well -- best thing to do is check out DougMorris.net/games or follow me @dougmorrisgames on Twitter. Hope to see you soon down the road. Until then, make it a great life for yourself, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones. Blessings, peace and good cheers.
