    1) Gregg

    Mith
    DMT
    steve 2.0
    rhd
    Long John
    TranaGreg
    jmaeroff


    8 players 10 picks each.

    Someone take the names listed here and post a random order.

    I will then ask Mrs. Gregg to give me 8 numbers in her random order to assign the draft order. So if I was 1 and she said 6 for the first number I would draft 6th.

    Let's plan on starting tomorrow at 10:00 am central.

    Any categories or just let it fly?

      No categories, and usually we keep the draft order stuff on RJ, so one poster sends the numbers, another sends the names. No biggie but it would be a bit odd.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                Gregg and DMT picking 1-2... smells fishy.
                I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

                        I thought I'd bring this up ahead of time. Schindler's List is all B&W but there is one scene where there is a small girl in a red coat. I vote that this should not disqualify it for our draft. There is also at least one other great B&W movie that has a similar scene (probably wont be chosen, tho). Can we have a ruling?

                          funny that's the first movie I thought of when considering this topic and also the first issue I thought of when clarifying eligibility.

                            IMO if it's predominantly B&W it should qualify (clearly I'm not as much of a literalist as Mith)
                            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                              You're literally not.

                                I can abide by this
