It appears that a definition is needed. Just what is a plunge? Is it a marriage or an engagement? If it just means, "get lucky," the game ended before it started."

Plunge = marriage for purposes of these odds

Thanks for the clarification, chili36. It is still early for you westerners, so you probably have not had time yet for

Wow! ... Would you believe that I can blush? You have my ego so high I may float up to Minnesota.

Be prepared! I plan to isolate you by surrounding you with an ocean of love and I am going to be the only island to which you will be able to cling.

Thirty years! Wow, we have a lot of hugging to catch up on! ... once my arms are around you, I don't plan to ever let go of you.

Actually, you are remaining at fairly steady odds.

You slipped in this past round because it clearly looks like you aren't making many tracks toward the alter.

there is something inherently wrong ...
with the universe...when an ancient octogenerain fossile like nowslimmer is gonna get him "some" sooner than I am. That is just WRONG!!! and YES I am taking notes...teach me oh Old time wanobi

I guess I have much to learn. but, I would certainly enjoy practicing even more.

and 2 turds...I have nothing more to say to you...I've pretty much run out of things. I tried to keep it civil...but you make it impossible. so, I must therefore try even harder. I won't succumb to your immoral behavior...even though it would be so much fun and oh so easy. you are and shall forever in my heart remain a ....

Reading Your Thread
Was laughing my little gay toosh off. Okay, I'd like to add a bet about me and Stormy starting a love nest within one month after we hike together. He is such a peachy dream fairie, but wish he wouldnt bring women into my string with me. Right love muffin? Keep those evil bags out. So i vote our odds, my love stallion to 1:1.

Bama...i know just the wedding gift from ya....*grins*...and one of my other specifications before i plunge is that i have to have more friends than family be able to attend...

CMB 1:3(cold weather set in upon our California girl)

Nowslimmer 3:1 (with the love letters he writes, he will be at even money in another 24 hours)

Opie 8:1 (Miss Opie will have him employed in Nashville in no time)

Geobeet 20:1 (not enought data to support cutting the odds)

Buddha Bear 40:1 (we still can't rule out the double reverse)

Simer 1000:1

Ice Tea 20000:1 (he is struggling, a few lessons from nowslimmer and a good dictionary should improve his odds however)

bacpac 998,000:1 (a long shot, but hey, even a blind hog can root up an acorn every now and then)

stickmon : not yet on the board, the odds makers presently feel bacpac has a better chance to score....stikmon's desparation hinders his chances of having any chance of getting lucky

flowers? well, that is a consideration, it might move him back to 19000:1

If ice tea sent flowers, I'd check it out carefully. He probably ordered flour.

What's the official line, Chili?
Us betting folk need the odds on Mapleleaf vs. the dead turkeys.

Are we talking simple injury here or should there be multiple odds for all possibilities of a Mapleleaf injury?
