"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."


Second attempt. Google swallowed the first one. Sorry if this is
ultimately a duplicate.

Hello, John

Everybody sings that incorrectly. The actual words are "the bluest
skies you'll *never* see are in Seattle."

But anyway, the next beautiful shots you'll see from Seattle will be
the Seahawks in our beautiful Qwest field doing your Redskins as Paddy
did the drum.

If our defense doesn't collapse (always a possibility with this year's
team) your very good team will have its hands full with Seattle at
home.

Bet you some Pacific NW smoked salmon against...(what the heck do you
have back there in DC?) -I can't eat red shellfish. No point spread,
just a simple win/lose bet.
Harry too, if he wants, as he lives in the DC area. Other than that,
the betting is closed.

Confirm the wager and name your stakes prior to kickoff if you're
interested. Here's hoping your Skins play well enough to finish a
close
second tomorrow. :-)

No, you can't pull that 'bad weather' trick with me. I've been there.
I
*know* what Seattle is like on a sunny, spring or summer day, and the
skies
are *definitely* the bluest you'll ever see. I've believed that since
my
first visit there back in 1969, on my way to Vietnam.

I'm glad to hear your defense is lacking, 'cause last week our offense
was
non-existent. I believe we set a new playoff record for the fewest
offensive yards ever gained by any team in a playoff game.

Now *that's* something to be proud of!

I can think of nothing produced locally that would come close to a
chunk
of
smoked salmon from the Pike Street Market. A Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab
sandwich from one of the better establishments would be the best shot,
but
I don't think it would survive the trip.

Aha! My daughter just had an idea as I was describing this quandary.
Virginia Peanuts! I will wager a can of Virginia Peanuts! Accept the
wager
or squirm out of it, your choice!

A couple of nice lobsters packed properly would survive the trip John.
;-)


I'm afraid Virginia lobsters would be low on the list of things Chuck
would
like!

I was talking about some nice ones from Maine.


Trying to keep it 'local', as Chuck suggested.

"Have a **spectacular** day!!

I was thinking the east coast/west coast thing.

How about some live crabs?


A decent dinner would require at least a couple dozen. They need to be
alive when put in the pot. I wouldn't even *try* getting a couple dozen
live crabs to Seattle.

Besides, wouldn't that be 'red shellfish'? I don't know. Once cooked, the
shells are red.
