I’m a little surprised to see all the Ansel Adamses – but damn, I’m _so_ glad I didn’t say Sylvester Stallone…

I picked Archie Andrews because there was a story that he was marrying Veronica instead of Betty in the comic. That was a big story last week. I rejected all people because the story was current.

Then nobody picked it. I can not predict you people.

Ditto (though I’ll admit I also did the first-name-popped-in-my-head approach)

**Larry Borgia** is #42, I think, unless I doubled up.

Scores should be relaitively low. There appears to be no real conch, which makes it a very good feud, IMO.

Good job, **Twickster**.

I’m just hoping Roger Rabbit beats out Ronald Reagan in the scoring. 😛
