GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2006 Boobie - you can play with the stipulation that you can keep only one Best Bet (Gerald Ford). None of us were able to take into consideration Dick Clark's New Year's Eve apparance, and therefore it would be unfair to let you pick him as a Best Bet. NO MORE SUBMISSIONS - IT'S OVAH! And by the way, Ariel Sharon just had a massive stroke: http://www.nbr.co.nz/home/column_article.a...id=5&cname=Asia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
