Dark Forces are Gathering
The only possible explanation for the Red Sox victory today - making them the only team in Baseball history to come back from a three game deficit to force a game seven playoff - is that fate has decided to visit some truly horrific punishment on long suffering Sox fans. After a wild ride, with two calls falling their way, and protection offered by the NYPD, the curse seems to be threatened. But much as I hate and despise the Yankees I also believe that Boston has been singled out for special attention by cruel fortune. They are the anti-chosen people. They will win the next game with the Yankees and advance to the World Series
And then they will lose.

Don't get me wrong - I want them to win. I was so disappointed last year that we didn't have a Cubs/Sox world series, I didn't watch it.

Well more states are in play this year, and there's plenty of venom on all sides to fuel a protracted legal struggle.
Maybe we should get some sort of pool-thingy going? Claim the date by which the election is finalized and win a prize?
What could a prize be? Dream date with Buckethead? Posting privileges for a day?
That could work. Especially
That could work. Especially your second suggestion for a prize. Mrs. Buckethead wouldn't likely approve of the first.

In fact, maybe we could make it sweeter, like a week of posting priveliges? Our readers are, to a wo/man, intelligent, articulate, discerning and clean-smelling sorts by definition. Why not give them the greatest honor a giant space robot can bestow?
Nobody said anything about giant space robots.
Um, great-
Um, great-
Except I don't know why this response went under this post and not the one about the revolution being litigated. I think I missed somewhere along the line.
But let's pretend it's where it belongs for a second and agree that posting privileges might make a sweet prize. Has anyone ever designed a pool before? The gambly kind, not the swimmy kind.
Should Ministers be exemt from entering, or get a different prize? Do we have to get the date right on, and if so we'll need to decide what victory means.
