Lot 4... membership number 66. A highly desirable, low number, with that sexy 6-6 factor. We begin the bidding at $25. Would someone like to start us off? Do I hear $25?

I never did understand exchange rates... $72 is only about the price of a pint, right?

Aged for over four years, and worth more than a pint of good scotch--mostly because it will last a whole lot longer--this double-digit number is still bidding in the double digits.
Is there any shipmate willing to give $80. All proceeds will go toward supporting the Ship, not for the hosts' next drunken spree.

Harumph to your Geology School for the Insane!
My first elementary school and junior high school were on Bypass US Rte. 66. My parent's former home was only a mile off of this highway.
(Considering that Bypass Rte. 66 was replaced by I-270 in metro St. Louis, and my other elementary school's back property line is on I-270, I can run a perfect score on this one from Kindergarten through Ninth Grade.)
The University of Missouri-Rolla, from where I earned by bachelor's degree and has a much better Geology department than any other in the USA, was on US Rte. 66.
There is another reason why a proud graduate of UMR has to protect the honor of Route 66.
$100

Mad Geo's scurrilous libel of Route 66 -- I drove the whole way from Lake Shore Drive in Chicago to the beach at Santa Monica in a red Camaro convertible back in '97 -- motivates me to enter the fray and bid $125.

And I bicycled along parts of it as a university student.

This double-digit number is still going for an amount well under the amounts for #21, #24, and #37. Perhaps someone dropping out of one of those threads would care to jump in here? Do I hear $135? $140?
