I put forth this wager: When the Colorado Avalanche win the Cup over the New Jersey Devils, I will arrange to have Rocky Mountain Oysters delivered to your residence. You must eat them, and provide pictures for the viewing pleasure of the boards. Have you the balls (you will in a week or so) to take this bet? ---

This I want to see. Especially since Colorado’s taking it. [sub]They better. The Devils took out the Leafs. The bastards.[/sub] ---

I was not the one eating them, but I was in the “frag zone” of my friend’s vomit when he found out what they were. So, beloved cherub of Colorado, I shall take you up on a wager, but not this one. 🙂 Tripler Testes. . . Testes, 1, 2 . . . Is this thing on? ---

Then what do you propose? Remember, there’s your reward in the unlikely event of the devils winning. ---

That last comment by Hecubus sounded vaguely lewd. I’m afraid. ---

My roommate is an Avs fan (but not as die hard as I am the Devils), so I’ll have him think up some stuff. . . Tripler ---

Sigs would be a very good idea, I think! ---

**Hec** , I’ll take you a step further. If you win, I will go buy an Avalance jersey, put it on, and post a picture of myself on the People Pages. This in addition to the sig. If I win, you do the same, but with a Glorious Red, White, and Black Devils Jersey. Game? Tripler It feels like a Monday. I can’t get much more creative right now. . . ---

Hmmmmmmmm… One more notch. After the photograph is taken, the jersey must then be shipped to the other party. I’d hate to have a Devils fan sullying a good Avs jersey, don’tcha know? You get to make the call on that one 🙂 Either way, that’s a great idea! ---

Now that I’ve looked at prices (80 freakin bucks for a REPLICA Jersey), I would like to suggest that we do this with T-shirts instead 😃 ---

Besides, I could always burn the t-shirt later without shedding much of a tear . . . Let’s make it a T-Shirt _and_ a hat! Tripler But you gotta send the picture to Shayna too! ---

DEAL! So, for the record: Buy a shirt and a hat, wear and take a picture, send picture to Shayna and winner. YOU’RE ON!! I’ve just made a deal with my roommate that he or I will buy the winner a championship hat. Just remember that I’d like mine with the full black, with the red logo on the front. Tripler And fitted, please. I’d like a fitted cap. ---

Hmmmmmmm. I would like that T-shirt to be XXL. I would also like you to send a note with it that says: Mr. Cynical, You OWN me when it comes to hockey bets. Tripler. ---

I’m still up for it, Trip! And, I hate to admit it, but… At this point, I wouldn’t mind even if I lose. This has been a BATTLE. Both teams deserve it. ---
