Hey Justin,

I can get stock quotes on here. Can you tell me where the Dow Jones Industrial Average is trading?

Someone told me that things were "fine" and the economy was in good shape a ways back.

Call me crazy, but isn't the stock market below 1997 levels ?

Stonegossard,

I have no idea why you have such a hard-on for me.

Here is me saying I was wrong over a month ago.

I intend to try to enter. My guess is that the contest will fill up in 10 minutes.

Lone Star Park had a good qualifier tournament last year.

The qualifiers for the April tournament were paid 12k for 1st place and 4k for second place. it was a $100 entry fee and even that was refunded to all participants.

Thier format included tris, wps, exactas and super and not your boring $2 W/P wager format
