Jerome Gambit: Whatever Happened To...? (Part 1)

I was wondering the other day whatever happed to a couple of nefarious chess opening variations, the OMG Variation and the Face Palm Variation.

It turns out that in the past few years, they have been hanging out with some high class players.

Consider the following two blitz games. (Names have been redacted.) 

Sure, the higher-rated player wins in each case, but what in the world is an almost 2700-rated player doing playing such a trashy opening, or even moreso an almost 2800-rated player?

Perhaps a large amount of fun was involved.

Might I suggest the main line of the Jerome Gambit? 

The OMG variation:

WhiteElo 2680 - BlackElo 2921 3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Ng5 Qxg5 5.d4 Qxg2 White resigned

The Face Palm Variation

WhiteElo2772 - BlackElo 2298 3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Ng5+ Kf8 6.Qh5 g6 7.Nxh7+ Kf7 8.Ng5+ Kf6 9.Qxh8+ Kxg5 10.d4+ Kg4 11.f3 checkmate
