SO ANYWAY: What's the good-natured bet between Governor McGreevey and the mayor of Anaheim going to be? Half of Bruce Springsteen for all of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? I'd pull that trade in a minute. We'd have a diminished Bruce (I'm not specifying which half of him we'd keep, and hopefully Anaheim wouldn't catch on until it was too late) but you could stick Mr. Toad in the middle of Great Adventure and I'd finally have a reason to go there. Or on the boardwalk in Wildwood--that would rock. Go Devils! Win us the best thing Uncle Walt ever came up with.

It'd be a better bet than whatever crate-of-Jersey-tomatos vs. crate-of-Mickey-Mouse-ears they've probably already good-naturedly shook on. Ah well.
