If you mean the city where Poe did a fair amount of his writing, then yes that would apply.

Whom do you have in mind?

I think Johnny probably got him first - and he says he doesn’t know anything about sports.

It really wouldn’t be fair for me to start another one right now, since I’m only going to be here for about ten minutes. I’ll start it up tomorrow morning if nobody else is going, but it’s an open thread until then.

Good thinking. I don’t plan to be around more than another half hour or so myself. So we can leave this as a clean slate for some of the nighttime players (at least in my part of the world).

Heh. I just narrowed it down to an NFL player and looked for one whose name sounded familiar.

I’ve just finished a game, so I’ll let someone else start the next one.
