So.  That sucks.  Who would have guessed that Gemm would have been right?

Also, now that it's the Yankees v. Marlins, who cares anymore?

Anyway, the updated standings:

Mustard: 54%  (32/59)
Gemm: 54% (32/59)
Spriggan: 53% (17/32)  
Fell: 47% (28/59)  
Kije: 47% (15/32)    
Entropy: 39% (23/59)

You shall all bow down to my amazing yankiee football prediction skills!
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 :)

What, no witty banter? No clever retort? Gemm does better than Mustard and all of a sudden he has nothing to say...

Well, short names, every time.

You know, when I took the GRE I blew off the math section and put B on every answer--I got 330 out of 800, which is way out of proportion. This is just reminding me of that.

Oh oohh, I have an idear for an office pool bet thingy. Lets see who can get this one.

Now, in a period of months (1, 2, 3, etc..), lets see how long until I take myself to a psychologist/psyciatrist. And maybe to even further it, will the person examining me go insane/suicidal, or will I just stop?

Fine by me.  Welcome back, by the way.

Also, would anyone be terribly depressed if we ended the pool with the superbowl?  We've been including other sports, but football is so much easier (being only once a week).  We can continue doing other sports until then, and maybe restart this thing for march madness, but basketball and hockey schedules are too complicated to run a pool with (unless everyone posted everyday).
