Actor Scott Elrod, a former military guy who had a bit part in the movie "Argo," was auctioned off Thursday night at the Austrian embassy to raise funds for the GI Film Festival. Halfway through the bidding, Elrod said he'd happily go on two dates, raising $1,700 for each. "That's classified," he told Yeas & Nays when we asked what might be in store for the two lucky ladies. "Ask me tomorrow, after I wrap my two dates up," Elrod grinned. The other 12 bachelors, all military guys, went for between $150 and $400.
