The Fantasy Fantasy A2K NFL Pick-Um Thread for 2011-2012

That would be amusing. I doubt she follows the NFL. I guess we could ask her to flip a coin 13 times and record heads and tails...without telling her why!
Do you ever listen to NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" show? There is a segment where well-known people are asked stupid questions about things they know nothing about.

That's a well known method of giving well known people a chance to demonstrate their wit.

Has anybody come up with one as good as young Caulfield's.

What am I supposed to do Goethe? (pronounced "gerta" I think)

what kind of coin are we gonna use, miss letty? err...Gerta...

Highly amusing...every week

Letty thanks us for the invite but says she will decline to participate. An amusing effort here, but it didn't pan out.
Moving on...

That's too bad. (I know for a fact that Letty used to date football players. )

I am somewhat addicted to online scrabble. Over the years I have collected players from over 100 countries. I lose a lot of the games. Perhaps I will run into a player from some place who will not think me totally insane if I ask for 13 coin flips.
In the meantime, we need a surrogate for CoinToss/CoinToss this week.

I have just been sent a coded message that a yet to be named volunteer has accepted the obligations associated with being me this week.

more to follow as it happens.

I have the same decoder ring you do and heard the same.

Having my doubts about P-burgh . . .

there is a crumpled up list in my satchel

had plenty of time to doodle and randomly pick while listening to an assortment of learned counsel

will post after I'm back from voting

What/who are you voting on?
I swear I am not making this up. A legislator in FL has introduced a motion to eliminate the ban on the "sport" of dwarf tossing.

Ontario provincial election today.

I'm waiting for the dogs to finish their fine evening repast so I can head off to Poll 46.

Umm..you might have it backwards, perhaps. There is a legislative movement to reinstate and ALLOW dwarf-tossing.

"A Florida state legislator has filed a bill to bring back "dwarf tossing," claiming a ban on the barroom spectacle was preventing some short people from getting jobs they could use.

Republican Rep. Ritch Workman of Melbourne filed the proposed legislation this week, according to the Palm Beach Post, which quoted him as saying, "In this economy, or any economy, why would we want to prevent people from getting gainful employment?"
