Does the asterisk in the title mean you were using performance-enhancing drugs at the time?

Probably just Mountain Dew.

I just can't wait for his tearful apology with Oprah/Katie Couric/The DeLaRosas (i.e. the closest thing Redemption has to media members).

I just want to see a pic of him kicking back with his glass-encased yellow Redemption t-shirt hanging in the background.

Could you post that picture again, but this time from directly behind you?  And possibly zoomed in on those sheets of paper you are innocently holding?

For some reason that doesn't look like RTS on your laptop.... 

It's actually a program he developed that when you put in what themes you want to use it gives you the best available deck list that accounts for combos and cards that have the least amount of counters to them.

Actually I do have a confession to make...

I was thinking more about that tournament and I am fairly certain I switched defenses the night before from the Pale Green to a Brown defense. I used this deck in the last round against Chris McCravy and it was a timely DoN that got rid of his Altar of Incense, allowing me to rip 2 Plots that took out most of his offense and a few of his key blockers. So alas, this is not the true decklist...I'm not sure the final version was ever on RTS. However, I probably have the decklist for the other deck I used (which was a Purple/Teal/Silver offense) and that also had the same Brown defense. I'll see if I can dig that up and post that one as well.

allowing me to rip 2 Plots

Aha! I'd say using Plots is the Redemption equivalent of using performance enhancing drugs...

.... because guys that are unusually ripped tend to be taking something....

I do hash browns, but not hashtags. Does it have something to do with those travelling body-builders?

I have heard that when The Guardian rips a Plot, that he first tapes it to a phone book, then rips them both in half.
