I posted the picture of the girls with Nastia, the morning after she won the gold medal in China. So there was some interesting conversation that developed on my facebook concerning whether the picture was real or not.

gotcha! Actually she came to the VA Elementary school in the spring. They had an Olympic theme for the annual family fun night. They had a booth and you could take a picture for 20 tickets with a "Future Olympian". We have talked to so many people did not do it because it cost too much - but they forgot that 20 tickets equaled $5. They wish they had now! http://www.griff.ws for more pics.

GRIFF!!!!! I swear... if your goal was to make me look stupid... well done. Apparently, "gullible" is my middle name. That's right... on my birth certificate it says.. "Allison Gullible Murray". But hey... smart move on your part by buying those tickets.

Hey jessica, isn't it nice to see someone else get fooled! Because we know you would have fallen for it too. Jessica "Even more Gullible than Allison" Weaver.
By the way, it looks real because it is real!

OKay, this proves that you are WAY more gullible than Allison! The joke was that it was a cutout. It is real, she came to VA in the spring before the olympics. Remember the two other pictures on http://www.griff.ws, she is in three different poses?

Well good grief.... get your story straight, Griff.
Let's settle this once and for all....
her hand is on Kerrigan's shoulder... therefore, it CANNOT be a cutout.
