Of course I was amazed.<BR/><BR/>Like Nugent, I was struck by how funny it was. Not in a slip-on-a-banana peel kind of way, but it certainly wasn't the funeral dirge I was expecting.<BR/><BR/>Though it wasnt my own pick for #1, it's a hard pick to argue with.Craig Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924813294666616097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-5860852234074073242008-02-13T16:52:00.000-05:002008-02-13T16:52:00.000-05:00I'm shocked that all five of my picks got 2 or mor...I'm shocked that all five of my picks got 2 or more votes.
