Oh dear -- I qualify under a couple of those. In fact, my first (and only) chess teacher gave me some of his old analysis of the Jerome about 30 years ago ...!
Not an opening I would use in serious play, but I have given it a whirl in fast games online and it is surprising how difficult Black can find it to defend with the clock ticking, even at expert/master level. I suspect the Halloween Attack 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5?!! Nxe5 5.d4 would have a similar shock value.
Great to hear from you, Tim!
Readers should recognize Master Tim McGrew as the author of ChessCafe's "Gambit Cartel" and contributor to West Michigan Chess(http://www.westmichiganchess.com/default.aspx).
A dangerous gambiteer in his own right, Tim has always been adept at explaining why one could/might/should offer material -- far beyond the simple "because I thought I could get away with it!"
