TD 251: Midsummer Classic- [Final Standings Posted]

No idea...no idea whatsoever...why the Chevy Aveo was stuck in my head when apparently it's never been known by that name in the U.S.

This is not true. Chevy sold the Aveo in the US from 2004-2011. My little brother almost bought one.

Ohhhhhh. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for alleviating my confusion. (Though my choice to not use another Chevy model is still pretty dubious...)

There is something so wrong with this.

But hey, I managed to actually zero out in the 6th inning. Apples! Of all things I do OK with in this poll ... Apples! I don't even LIKE (those) apples.

Finally! These top of the innings have been absolutely brutal for me.

Many years ago, on my first trip to Las Vegas, I was sitting with my cousin in Caesar's Palace Casino (playing slots, I think) when we saw a couple run past us and run into a restaurant I think. (Like I said, it was several years ago.) I immediately turned to my cousin and said, "Was that Brooke Shields?" Simultaneously, she was saying to me, "Was that Andre Agassi?" I guess people see what they want to see.

Andre and Brooke were married for a couple of years back in the 1990s. Unfortunately for one of our players, Andre's second wife was not Sarah Jessica Parker.

Also, someone once told me they thought I looked and sounded like Dax Shepard--but never Zach Braff.

I was really interested in seeing which direction people would think other people would go on this question. Did the order of the pictures affect anyone's decision?
