    Based on the link, Colbert isn't involved.

    No, Joe, you are not the only one who is tired of this kind of thing -- I am, too. That's why I brought it to the Board.

    Thanks for the correction, Spirited. I keep thinking in terms of A, AA, AAA before thinking of Indys (a short-coming I have, I am afraid to say).

    Afraid that reference is lost on me, F_B. To what does it refer? Why not the 309's (The area code)???

    I think they should go with the Nutz and then hire Vince the Shamwow guy to be the owner and pitchman.

    Scandal???

    These college kids seem to think the contest is rigged for the Nutz, and they have some pretty decent evidence.

    Apparently the normalnutz.com domain was registered a month ago. Plus the percentage by which the Nutz dominated yesterday means there had to be some kind of hijinx going on, either by the team or just some fervent Nutz lovers.

    Why even pretend to have a contest if it's going to be rigged?

    Why even have a contest in the first place if the only names you're going to come up with are lame?
