Grooch | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:49 pm     I want Dr Evil for president and Nicole for vice President. Or maybe I want it the other way around. |
Car54 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 06:20 pm     Very good choice. This thread is going to be very interesting. That team could definitely win in Florida, G. |
Grooch | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 06:25 pm     But it will take a month to count the votes. ;) |
