why not do head counts and turn people away after 1200, figuring that certain amount may not purchase

Post by: CHIZZY on August 24, 2005, 09:53:48 AM: yeah.... eerie coincidence isn\'t it? I mean, there\'s no way those two very seperate groups of people would have any common behavioral traits that would make them act that way... spooky.
