Time for a pool on when the Rag will go belly up!

The Vegas Oddsmakers called and they're ready to take action on how much longer the Rag will last.

The Odds: (If you're adventurous, the longer you bet the Rag will last, the more sticky cash you'll win.  The Bookies are willing to promise to pay more for longer time periods because they figure the chances of the Rag lasting much longer are slim.) But let's face it, even oddsmakers realize the Rag is on the way out, so the guaranteed lock is a bet that the Rag will fold by this Christmas.)

Till This Christmas - 2 -1 (a lock if the Landlordman goes after the Ragman) 

Till Next Valentine's Day (1000 - 1) (Assuming his new office in a seedy motel room can fit all his Rag writing equipment - i.e. a typewriter and a direct line to Brucey)

Till Next St. Patrick's Day (10,000 - 1)   (Assuming the printer accepts free leather jacket cleaning coupons as payment)

Till Next Fourth of July (100,000 - 1)  (Assuming that the Catlady agrees to be paid with pink Monopoly dollars)


Till Next Halloween (1,000,000 - 1)  (Assuming the Ragman gives up on newsprint all together and passes out photocopied pamphlets while marching up and down Main Street ringing a bell and wearing a sandwich board while shouting "The end is near!  Repent ye' sinners and beg Brucey's forgiveness!"

Till Next Christmas - (A gillion, bajillion, trillion, gazillion, billion to 1) (Assuming God sends Jesus to intervene on the Ragman's behalf so that God's divine message can continue to be spread in a shameless politically partisan newsletter with more typos in it than a third grade book report).

PLACE YOUR BETS!!!

I'll definitely take the This Christmas action.  At this rate, 2009 will definitely be a Happy Ragless New Year!!!
