I think he put that “between 1 and 10,000” there just to throw everyone off. I bet it’s really between like, 1 and 100. ---

367 [hijack] Mullinator: Did I ever tell you I met Chris Mullin once when he came to pick up my old neighbor for a date? About 9 years ago. He was wearing a Warriors shirt, drove a bronco or some-such, and had an Akita dog. I was out front with my dog and daughter and I said, “Hey, you look like that Warriors guy, Chris Mullin **s**.” He laughed and said, “Yea, that’s me allright.” I thought he was being sarcastic, and we chatted for a few minutes while his date got ready and our dogs sniffed each other. My hubby pulled up a few minutes later, and came over. Chris put his hand out and said, “Hi, I’m Chris Mullin.” Incredulously, I said, “No you’re not”. My husband said, “yes he is”. My face turned red. We all laughed. They left for their date. He married someone else a few months later. [/hijack] ---

Shouldn’t this be against the rules? You see everyone else complaining because someone took the number they were going to use. I think Coldfire should either have to pick 3125 or 3123, or some other completely different number. Because I picked that number first, ya know? And…and…::tears welling up:: And it isn’t fair! ::grasping desperately at straws:: Mully, how do we know you won’t eventually _lie_ about what number you’re thinking of? Did you email the number to someone? What makes us so sure you won’t just pick your favorite poster and give them the prize? This game is **fixed**! Fixed, I tell ya! 😃 ---
