hmmm ... shooting a brand new gun in a totally dark room without my glasses.
72 - 52 --- D is ahead of O and we are still searching who/where/when.

Second prediction: somewhere kinda/maybe around a bit less than 1/2 of the posters after the game will scream that is was not nearly enough to way too much.

 

[BoilerIron]

70-50.

Mr. Whipple was the first thing that popped into my head. How old do you have to be to remember him?

I'm guessing 55 +/- 10 years. Whipple, a name you'll never forget.

"Cruz" is the Spanish word for "Cross". So if you took the old "of the group" translation of names (ie. John Baker would be the John the Baker or John of the Bakers), then he would be "Jesus of the Cross"

...and for the record, I know who Mr. Whipple is and I am younger than 45.
