[Ric Bagoly]

First off, a big thanx and to Chuck for the help!

Second, jeez Kaplan, are you carrying a fuckin stopwatch on you or what?

And now, some rulings,

George Kaplan's Second of What About Bob? WILL STAND as a Third, along with the other Thirds as well. This should be considered a one-time warning to all...

Lew Nominated The Lady Eve when actually it needed a Third, having already been Nominated by Brook and Seconded by Rand, so Lew's Nom will count as a Third...

Rand Nominated Duck Soup when it had been Nominated by Kaplan and Seconded by Lew, so Rand's Nom will count as a Third

That is all.

Strange Brew

A Shot In The Dark

Where The Buffalo Roam
