1. No. Unless this is some literal translation of Portuguese. Then still, probably not.
2. No.
3. No. And no offense, but if we let the autismatics in, how do we keep out the asthmatics?
4. Yes, maybe. There are probably a couple people out there looking for a new reason to get intoxicated at the Derby. Good one.
5. No. For every new fan of racing via autism over the next 8 weeks, 10,000 will die. Of old age.
6. No. I might have said maybe had Merv Griffin not passed.
7. Yes, maybe. Then again, I think replacing shuffleboard with Whack-A-Mole is the answer to reversing the economic downturn.
