Guys do me a favor ok? When you post your list this time please put (10) or (50) in the post to 'vote' for one of the following choices...


(10)

After this round we will start completely over - (go to 10 the first round...20 the 2nd...)

or

(50)

Next round we will continue as we have and that round will go to 50.



While I think the 2nd choice (50) was my initial intent here and could be a blast... I also think it could be a thread killer because man 30 was tough... I think by 45 - 46...or so we may not have anyone willing to make a list and thread could die - it's to fun to die lol.

If there are some folks who do vote (50) than I'll take that to mean you'll hopefully be one of the brave souls willing to take 20 min to make that #46 post on next round...

Hope this all makes sense.. so when you post your list this time please put (10) or (50) depending on which plan you like best - Thanks! :)

1. My cousin played in the Masters Tournament the first year Tiger Woods was in/won. He was one of the invited amatures (he got the invite by winning a tournament in Hawaii). He placed 72nd, and didn't make the first cut. He was an amature when Tiger was still an amature, and got to sit next to him at a banquet.

2. My other cousin went to school with Ron Howard (when he was still known as Ronny Howard).

3. My distant cousins were old-time radio stars Fibber McGee and Molly. They were my grandmother's sister's husband's cousins (got that?).

LOL you guys are great! You peeps voting (20) um that's cheating lol... the options were - to start over with 1 to 10..than 1 to 20 and so forth after this round by voting (10) or .. to continue as we have been by voting (50) But your (20)'s are cracking me up lol, I'm taking the 20 votes as votes for the first option (10) cause doing that option will get to your 20 option quickly enough LOL.

Twig - you said you think folks should be able to put as many facts as they want, I think that's the true beauty of this thread (and the compromise idea via Spy's idea) becaues everyone CAN post as many facts as they want - if they just want to post a few they can jump in early each round, but if they want to share lots (cause they see how fun it is to read others...) than they can jump in later, or more often. FYI those who do just want to share a few are helping keep the thread going bigtime as well cause they help move things along!

Now to get a hot cocoa and read all these fun facts you guys have shared hehe... :)

So far it's looking like restarting the process (10)'s is in the lead bigtime.. we'll wait though and see so please keep the voting going thanks!
