Hehehehe.....I'm with SharonG

But I too would like to make a guess......




.......drumroll please....................



27 7/8".......

Lisa

Duh....28.235"

there's actually NO *REAL* snow in that truckbed.

it's actually schredded sectret government documents detailing the sightings of the deluth,MN Alien

No sexual predjudice here. I'll take a date with one of the gals.

Bernie, I took the measurement immediatly after taking the photo so there would be no changes. I also took a photo of the measurment so there would be no doubt.


You guys & gals are funny. Like i'm gonna give any hints.
But I will say that about 4 of you are damn close!


Good luck!

24 3/8

And a prayer that I'm wrong.

After much deliberation and beer, 25-21/64"

Ok, let me get this straight. 25 minus 24 divided by 64.
That equals 0.0625 inches.

Are you suuuuuure you want to use that as your entry?
Or am I confused on my math here?

Well, if you melt it all how much of it will be actually left?

21.8

Since you are getting technical, then you really should follow the proper order of operations. The first thing you should do is divide 21 by 64 and then subtract the result from 25. This gives you 24.671875. I believe, however, that the intended response was 25.328125.........hopefully both numbers are wrong.

Shot in the dark, 23.5. Lost in the dark is where I'm usually at, say what, lol.

Good Luck, Don

rofl alberto...

Ok, the results are in!!!

AND THE WINNER IS...............(drumroll please)




BERNIE!!!
aka Bernbomb914
with 21.8 inches!




Congratulations Bernie!



Runners up in order are:

Joe Sharp
21.7

a tie between:
Markb
22

and
sixnotfour
22

and
Wayde S
21.5

Now, if anyone has any discrepencys over the measurment picture, please use photoshop or some other picture editor to zoom and sharpen the picture. I was not able to figure out how to do that.

From what I saw when I took the measurement, it was slightly under 22 inches.

The snow level in the bed was level except where the tailgate bully is. Measurment was taken as close to the center of the bed as I could reach.



Thanks for playing!

Hope you all had fun!!

Toast, I think you screwed up. If you'd measured at different places you could have gotten so many different results that nearly EVERYBODY would have had a correct guess. Lots of happy winners, and lots of different dates instead of just one.

I guess that is a bit sneaky... but not WRONG.

That's true.
Just tried to be as fair as possible.

I thought that Markb was going to be the only one with a close number since he was one of the first to post with the near-exact number. Then everyone started to get all technical toward the end.

I sure had alot of fun hosting this game. Seems like everyone else did too.

Thanks guys & gals!

I'm confused : it looks like 25-1/4" to me. Oh, and I didn't get a chance to enter yet. I'm guessing, hmmm, 25.25 ".

You can pick me up around 7:30. Or 9:00. Or any other time.

Jeff


EDIT : Doh ! I looked at the picture again and now see my mistake. I think I'll just ... sniff ... go away.

Hip Hip Horray!!!! Now What do I do? I will offer the privilege of this Date with Toast to the highest bidder with the proceeds to go to John Unthank to get his health back.
Have Fun

Heck, I wouldnt make fun of Bernies manhood either with that number being thrown around!!

You guys are silly!


Bernie, if you really want to give up your date for a worthy cause that is fine with me.


Actually, the first runner-up should be allowed the date if you are declining.


Although I do like the idea of raising more money for John!




What do you guys/gals think?

hell, I felt I needed to edit my post I'm in especially after seeing Ms Melba at the last JoeSharp BBQ

I thought PIMPING was against the rules?

I was afraid that subject would come up.
That is not want I want at all.

since I WON I think I should be able to sell your services to the highest bidder for a good cause and whatever arrangments you make between the two of you is up to you.

Bid high and often remember the cause

If I remember right this was for a "date" with Toast, no more, no less, and nothing else. She's a member of this non-club, treat her with respect.

The comment about selling her services, WTF is That.

Keep it Clean, keep it nice. Nuff said.

Later, Don

Yeah really..come on...if you want to get rude about it then maybe Toast should have held a contest for a date with Aaron. Lord knows that thread would deteriorate in a hurry.

If anybody was offended by porposal I am sorry I was trying to raise money for our injured member. this whole subject was only for fun and if you think was pimping Toast then you have a very narrow view point about life. Toast if I upset you you have my apology. I just thought it would be a good way in fun to raise money for John.

Bernie

So I guess that means 23" looks like 10" to me........

Bernie, I've known you for a long time and know that your intensions were good. My fear about your offer was that it was going to make this fun game obscene. I am not offended by anything said so far, I just dont want it to head in that direction.

It looks like no one is interested in playing on your offer Bernie. Well, except for Joe Sharp, who happens to be the runner-up. So may i suggest that we drop your offer and follow up on the original prize?

You do have the option to pass your prize to the runner up (like in The Price Is Right) if you want too.


Now, I'll let you guys has this out. I'm getting back to this episode of M*A*S*H.

I measured as close to the middle as I could reach without touching the snow. I'm only 5'3" so give me a break.
No, neither of my trucks have a box. Although when I bought the white truck, it had a little green box that they were using as a center console.

I think he is looking for a bed for his truck Toast. Out in NY and the east coast, things rust out much faster and a good truck bed is really rare back there.

The bed in my white truck is all rust with patches of white paint.........literally. and the tail gate has rust holes along the bottom.

I aint given the bed in my brown truck away. The paint still shines.
