QUICKLY.

Don't worry Rich, we've got 'em.

Oh man ... maybe 45 needs a fashion consultant instead

New game - If you had to declare that you were a blood relative of one or the other would it be:

1. The shaven JVN
-OR-
2. The esteemed Mr. Baker with the glasses and the umbrella hat???

I don't know who I'd pick, but I have a ninth grade niece. If I could get you two to pick her up from a school dance and proclaim in front of her entire peer group that, "We're uncle Rich's friends. Does anyone else need a ride?" ... that would be perfect

Personally, I think that would be HYSTERICAL. I would love for that to happen, but mabye that's only because I appreciate them as members rather than folks with a bit too much insanity. Then again, I'm a FIRSTer, and we're all insane.

Possibly the 2 bets he made in Maryland during the Chesapeake regional?

And Jess yea Lisa's bet with Grady was awesome nothing like forcing a Yankees fan to wear a Red Sox hat to all FIRST events!!!

[Billfred]

C'mon, 229ers....you could've followed the advice of one of the most highly respected mentors in FIRST!

Ahh the things we do for FIRST.

In 2003 I did the same math and I too paid the piper. At least yours was done only with your team instead of in front of everyone at WMR. I may not have had my head shaved but I lost as much hair as you and way more than John. Now I get back at my team by coloring my hair. If yours grows back you could do something similar but I really feel for John as I believe that he will now always have the Yule Brenner look.

John and Chris were real good sports about this whole thing. I had actually totally forgotten about the bet thing until I received a meeting notice that declared that a portion of the meeting would be dedicated to shaving our friends.

I did offer them wax, and someone did suggest shellac if that didn't work....
