Peanuts,
Sell AOB and buy FORG long please.

How 'bout a rodeo? Or a Nascar Race?

Either one would be good but I do prefer the Nascar Race. Peanuts could be good with that one.

Hey Doug, how 'bout that Carl Icahn, eh?

[Rob]

Or K2 or skiing down either one.

Yet another theme idea

Climbing Mt. Everest

More Theme Ideas

Possible themes:

1. The Wild West (Rawhide, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, etc.)
2. The Jamestown Settlement (in honor of the 400th anniversary; everyone who finishes at zero or less for the week is slaughtered in the infamous Massacre of 1622)
3. Demolition Derby

[...] It's been a long time since Karel has been on his bicycle, and he's a little wobbly on it. Let's hope he remembers how to ride one of those things. [...]

Just for the record: for most Dutch their first bicycle is something of a rite of passage, somewhen in their Kindergarten years. When people have to admit they no longer can ride a bicycle because of the infirmities of old age, that really hurts. We must be a strong claimant for "greatest number of bicycles per caput", and that is not counting all the bikes in the Amsterdam canals.

Regards,

Karel

No problemo Lye. If you want it you got it. I can make another pick.
Peanuts, take me out of FORG and give it to Lye. I'll take AOB - long again this week. Thanks. I hope you win by a 30% margin. I like it for a move up this week.

I was just trying to be gracious about the pick. Lye had taken it on the chin with it the last two weeks and was I offering it to him after his post about wanting to play it again.
I don't see how what I said would have anything with making it Lye's pick. That would have to be his decision. I gave it up so that he could have it if he wanted to take it. I kind of wish that I had kept it myself now.
I certainly didn't imply that it was Lye's pick but only that I was giving it up so that he could have it if he wanted to take it. That's what he implied to me in his post.

If either one of us would have taken it we would be in first place right now. Only the first day but still on top of the board. So Lye ends up not making a pick at all yesterday and no cash position either.

Peanuts,
You had asked for suggestions for weekly themes.
I humbly submit the following:
- A jungle safari
- A manned mission to Mars (and back)
- Getting to the lifeboats on the Titanic

Excellent stuff!
