I'll guess March 17, 2003 (although I hope it later, much later).

January 15, 2003

April 26, 2003 (6 months after the original date).

No offense, Jim. But this is the most boring thread we've had. Hopefully it will be more eventful when we find out who the winner is, and if the industry as a whole is the loser.

I don't think this thread is as boring as Andy says, but I do have to whine about Friday Frivolity on Monday. Last Thursday (Halloween) there were so many fun "Fridayish" threads I went to bed happy because the next day was Saturday. This looks like it may be a very long week!!!

Now, I'll readily admit that it is not "humorous" or "hilarious" in the mode of other Friday Frivolity posts. But frivolous is not necessarily synonymous with humorous, although they're not mutually exclusive either. The really funny part is that you all think I'm actually tracking all of these guesses - hahahaha. (Actually, I did have that question raised a couple of times, but really no tracking is necessary. Once the date is announced, I'll just pop back to this thread and scan down looking for dates that are close and figure out the winner that way). Plus it's really cool (or is that kewl?) that Mary Beth is throwing in a BOL shirt for the winner. Thanks for the support MB!!
