Limited Time Offer
« on: October 15, 2003, 12:04:46 PM »
For all those that are playing the office pool (and especially those who aren't):

If you make your picks before 4:15 EST tonight, you have a chance of winning big!

Check out the Office Pool thread for details.

By the way, it's never to late to join the pool.  We run it on percentage, not on total wins, so starting this late in the season won't handicap you!

TO participate in that I would have to understand something. Anything. About football. Nah, I can't build up the enthusiasm. What's the prize? A common from the last shipment of magic cards?

It couldn't be magic cards, because football players beat up people who play magic.

Well kids, time is running out.  The Red Sox v Yankees game has started and is locked.

If anyone still wants to make a pick on Marlins v. Cubs, it'll be open until 8:00pm EST

Probably not.  Unless we have something free laying around.  No actual prize has been discussed.

I don't think anyone was really expecting anything, so it's not a hoax.  The fabulous prizes advertised are merely extra points.  The points are meaningless, except that the show who is a better game-picker.

I'll choose the team on the left i guess.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Did I win or lose points?

and I pick the Red Sox, since I'm not counting spaces.

I didn't realize that you were entered, since you didn't say anything.  I guess, if we're going on the presumption that you will ALWAYS take the shorter named team, regardless of circumstances, then you got yourself two big old points (+5-3).  I'll update the scores.
