The 5 disc Bladerunner set -- complete with briefcase, and inserts, in the format of the winner's choice?

Sounds like fair terms to me!

Jimmy--I think Barry's definition is pretty darn vague. The NBER has dropped its back to back quarters of negative growth definition, but it was a good definition. How about you hold him to a quarter-by-quarter bet. Will the adjusted first quarter be negative? Will the second quarter be negative? Without at least an entire quarter of negative growth, how can there be a recession? Stakes: two DVDs per quarter.
