Gameshowboy says lower.  Are those cookies lower than $6.69?



DING!  $4.49

Yes!  You now have two rolls.  Now, to earn your third, is the price of the RiceARoni higher or lower than $4.49?

Gameshowboy doesn't seem so sure this time.....is it lower?



Ding!  $2.05.

Of course it is.  You now have 3 rolls.

Now, here is how this will work.  I will use random.org to generate a dice roll.  Rolls of 1,2,3 will correspond to the 3 cash values.  Rolls of 4,5,6 will correspond to cars.  To give you some control over the process, give me a number between 1 and 20, and this is the number of times I will press enter to generate dice rolls.

Gameshowboy tosses the bucket of dice, and....



DING! DING! DING!

3 cars and $2,500.

Gameshowboy, you have a choice to make.  You can keep the $2,500 and walk away, or you can roll those two dice and try to get two more cars.  If you choose to roll again, give me another number between 1 and 20.

Well, I'm certainly glad to see Let 'Em Roll.  It guarantees (hopefully) that Mike Richards' Wet Dream Pay the Rent will not show up this summer.
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

We have one winner, and let's try to get another.  Here is the next item up for buds...

It's designer crap for men!



A designer handbag, wallet, and gator boots for the man on the move, who doesn’t mind people snickering behind his back.
 

Bidding is now open, and will close Wednesday afternoon.  New players are welcome to participate.  And Gameshowboy may also bid again, is he likes.
