Your OED birthday word is:
Beatlesque, adj.
Meaning: Characteristic or reminiscent of The Beatles, their music, or their cultural impact (see Beatlemania n. at Beatle n. Derivatives). Sometimes: spec. typical or redolent of the catchy, upbeat melodies, close vocal harmonies, or tight, guitar-led arrangements of early Beatles records (see Mersey sound at Mersey n.).

Kickoff of individual games. :grin:

Zero skill involved, but then why don't they all do the same thing I do?

Ideally the winner would be the guy who's best at picking the games where the Thursday line (which is what CBS uses) ends up being the same as the closer.

But these guys are so completely clueless, I don't even have to bother researching the close games. I picked NYJ this week because :dunno:.

I was 11 picks behind the leader a couple weeks ago. Had to make a HUGH comeback. Joe Public was killing it early in the season.

So jealous. I once had an even sweeter deal; it was a pick 'em league (not ATS, outright winners) where you would give each matchup a point value, 1-16, using each number once. Hmm...let's see, should I log in 2 minutes before kickoff and assign the 16 points to the biggest favorite on Pinny? Nah.

I didn't end up winning by all that much, actually; it was still up for grabs the last week. Fucking variance.

Oh, I'm just ready for Christmas to be over. I loved(d) Christmas more than most anyone, but it's just not the same.


And, our cleaning gal/mom watcher who has saved my ass on more than one occasion, just stopped by. While I was at the gym 2 weeks ago she found our Christmas stuff. I came home and it was like Santa exploded in here. She brought enough food/drink/presents for a small army and it just makes me feel weird. I don't know. Fa la la la la. Just too much stimuli over here. People are making it impossible for me to ignore Christmas.

Doorbell keeps ringing. Just now...it rang. I told mom not to answer it cuz I had to throw on some clothes...I'm putting on a robe, come to the door..large man is opening the door with some big tool in his hand talking about furnace inspection. Scared the shit out of me. I just looked at him, said "wrong house" and shut the door. WTF. I looked outside, his truck said "bulding inspection" on it, but fok. Don't just open someone's front door. I know it's cold outside, but damn.

Haha. Indeed, both years I won I wasn't ahead by all that much.

(Actually, last year, if I exclude the cheating commish, I won by 10+. Still, it's not that much over 256 picks.)

Made over $2k in two years with just this pool. $170 entry ($10 a week) and 50% goes towards the final prize pool.

Smaller turnout this year, winner will get like $450.

Go me.

I have decided I am a party mix traditionalist. When I was growing up we also referred to it as "Chex mix." I am looking at this mix that Lori brought. The only thing I recognize from my youth party mix is pretzels. This appears to have fritos, pretzels, and some kind of seasoned oyster like crackers in it. Not bad, but where are the Chex? The peanuts? The Cheez its?
 
Oh this is a thing? I had no idea Fritos were ever put in Chex Mix. It is funny to watch how people pick thru different things in the party mix...have to make sure you get the peanuts in there. Give me your address Matty and I'll send you this Frito mix. I am not a fan.
