Numbers Retired and hangs in the rafters

I can't find it, but somewhere Cal was saying that I was ducking a bet with him about November. Which is odd, since I offered to bet anyone, and finally got DieHard to take me up on it.

So our bet was that the loser will donate $100 to Fisher House in Shep's name. Shep will be able to confirm the payment was made because he'll get a little thing in the mail that says DieHard just donated $100 in his name.

If you want a piece of that, Cal, I'll go $100 with you, too. And probably anyone else who wants a piece.

It's a great organization. I'd love for you guys to send them your money.

And I assume the same 100 in DieHards name if McCain wins?

No, for our bet the $100 is in Shep's name. He's the banker here.

He hasn't agreed to this yet, but I figured he'd be a good go-between.

I didn't think it mattered who got the credit. It certainly doesn't to me. Just that $100 goes to Fisher House.

If you're worried about your tax write-off, the person who pays gets that, not the person whose name is on the gift.

danamal wants a piece, Steve. You guys can work out whatever arrangement you like.

I don't eat tomatoes.

You want to bet a $100 donation or not?

So far I've got a lot of talk, and only one taker.

Danamal and Shep also want a piece, with no takers.

That might be why nobody is taking you or Shep up on a bet.

I don't eat a hundred dollars either. Banana

But if a Dem is president, you could sell your bushel
of tomatoes for a hundred dollars.

You want to bet or not. Afraid of losing Heck? Afraid of winning?

A bushel of excellent tomatoes. You can just go to the local veggie market and buy em to send to me. Or, you could just send me an "IOU" and you could buy me just a bushel of nice tomatoes if I'm ever around in your area.

It isn't that hard, Heck. Do you want to bet or not?

The charity bet is quite a bit cooler than exchanging produce. C'mon, Farmer Cal. Pony up.

Cal, I want to bet a charity donation to Fisher House, and you want to bet tomatoes.

I think I have the better idea.

There's this weird blend of surrender and madness swirling around the Republicans on this board.

They should be embracing tearing it down and rebuilding it. Young people are staying away in droves. Ron Paul may have it right -- it should be more Libertarian. I wouldn't get anywhere near it, but I think there'd be some buyers.

The crazy, hateful, smearing, oil drunk, religious fringe loving bastard child of Conservatism needs to be thrown out with the bath water. It's pretty much over.

Okay, we'll bet and the loser donates a bushel of tomatoes to the local food bank.

I think you can't HANDLE a bushel of tomatoes...

Bet me, Bucko.
