We need to make some pridictions on what is going to happen with the Banned Members, in 20 years time.
I'll start:
Britincali:
Pot will finally become legal in 2019. Brit will ( illegally) divert the Colorado River, flood Barstow, and own the largest Hydroponic Weed Farm in the world.
He dies, stoned out of his mind, at 92 years old.

Alisobob : Tried to do the waterjump at the adelanto GP 2015, has a nasty getoff and end up in tracton for 2 years, starts banging the home nurse and contracted the HIVs. First person ever to fight AIDs all on his own and win, rumored to be due to that massive buffolo turd and malt liquor intake.
Barrage of tests done and the cure turns out to be a spore in gas station sushi that manifests when in contact with ginger muff.
Will eventually contract some kind of nasty lung disease due to dust from screwing nasty foam plastic shit to peoples buildings for years.

Roosty:
After the death of Billy Mays.... The trillion dollar " Direct to Home" info-mercial sales biz goes straight into the shitter.
After a intensive nationwide search comes up empty handed, Sully widens the search across the border..... into Canada... to find the replacement for his rump riding buddy.... Billy.
One day, Sully wanders into Winkler, Manitoba where Roosty is announcing the 2011 Club Cadet Lawnmower Racing Championships. Sully hears Roosty's golden tones coming out of the loudspeakers... and its music ( i.e. DOLLAR SIGNS) ringing in his ears.
He signs Roosty to a huge contract, but screws him on the dollar vs. dollar exchange rate.
Roosty brings on Karty to annimate Billy into the info-mercials in Billys absence, and Roosty does the rest..... and the rest is history!!!!!
