I think Tokyo gets bounced on the first round, Madrid the second, then Rio beats Chicago in the final.

I can't imagine its not going three rounds.

Oh gh, How wrong can you be? It will be Chicago.

I will even bet a Fuller's ESB at the Elephant and Castle on Adams St.

I've applied Somebody's Law Of Wagering here: you bet against what you really want to win, then you're happy no matter the outcome!

Fuller's ESB at the Elephant and Castle on Adams St.

How long have you been keeping this place a secret!!!! You need to share this kind of info more often.

i think it's all about chicago versus rio...

the key is what happens to the tokyo and madrid voters, whether they go rio...or not....

rio or chicago, where would gh have more fun....??

Or which ditty would you rather have running through your brain, Rio by the sea-o or that toddlin' town?

[liuxuan]

Ever since I saw a Chicago promo vehicle using the fountain that opens Married With Children the city is stuck with "Love & Marriage" in my brain!

I guess that's better than "Tokyo Nights" by the Bee Gees!

Sanya will be 31 and Allyson will be 30! Michael johnson pr-ed at 32!

To be precise, Richards is 265 days older.

Ladbrokes
Rio de Janeiro, 11-4

Rio beats Chicago in the final.

A year and a half ago I got Rio at 7:1 odds and bet $100. I RARELY bet, but taking gh's law above, I was also betting that Chicago would win if Rio didn't, so I'd win both ways.

Fuller's ESB at the Elephant and Castle on Adams St.

It has been there about 15 years or so. They also opened one on Wabash St. that serves it hand pumped! But the Adams St. is my usual when I go downtown. It is only 4 blocks from Union Station so I can drink until about 15 minutes til the train leaves.
