Who has a Bat Cave.....

....and an extra 4.2 million to part with?
That's a long way from the 100k opening bid.....

to buy it back from the
shows producers in the 1960's.

Based on the Lincoln Futura concept car.....

........and Lance Armstrong is still a DOPE.

Glad he finally had the "ball" to admit it...
but still too late and too cocky.

He just doesn't get it.....
but Mr. Dave O'Connor does!!

His correct answer....
(in just seconds ahead of his arch nemesis Maggie Pollard)
Lance Edward Gunderson Armstrong takes it all this week.

--named after Dallas Cowboy Lance Rentzel which is the reason Armstrong may be crazy.
--Rentzel was suspended for a year by the NFL for marijuana possession.
--Rentzel was married to Joey Heatherton (Bada Boom) but screwed that up
by running around and exposing himself to little children on playgrounds.

....bring those facts to your dinner parties this weekend.
