You Bet Your Ass: Week 2

YBYA got off to a rousing start last week. And by rousing start, I mean only two of us are actually in the black and I'm in second to last place. At least no one can claim that I cheat! Silich was drunk and outpicked me. If I was capable of feeling shame, I would feel it. And for at least one week, Brandon can brag as much as he would like.
