Mini bottles of Dom Perignon bubbly as well as Brie from the Verchere region were included as well. A Panasonic mini DVD player along with a selection of the latest releases topped the offerings. Several expressed disappointment at not receiving a cash equivalent. One more worldly-wise pundit wondered aloud whether the gifts were taxable and, if so, would the value on the 1099 he would get at the end of fiscal '06 be "cost or market value". Apparently, several pundits looked at each other and just smiled, knowlingly. One asked the bus driver if the buses were bringing them to the "gold streets". The driver asked him what he meant and the young fellow (who couldn't have been more than 17) replied: "you know, where the streets are paved like that."
