The good Professor won the World Cup pick’em league, riding the great run had by the Dutch, as well as the good fortune of getting the exact scores in one out of every six of his predictions. Consequently he won by the safe margin of ten points as of the third-place match, on which I took an insane gamble in a futile last-ditch effort to catch up to him.
The good professor is entitled to pick the subject of a post to be authored by me, and to control of Mark Thompson’s gravatar for six months. I, for one, look forward to my writing assignment. Brother Mark, on the other hand, is well-known to be a Buffalo Bills fan and thus readily vulnerable to a task which he may find distasteful.
Congratulations!

Well, if he’s a Bills fan I expect he’s used having a bad taste in his mouth.

Thank you, although I’m going to pretend the assumption that my correct score picks were mere good fortune is offensive. Harumph!
Mark already knows what his gravatar will be, and I hope the lovely Mrs. Thompson enjoys the joke as well. I’ll have to decide what topic to assign Counselor Likko. It will be law related, but that’s all I’ve come up with so far.Report
congrats James! But I think I need a refresher. This may or may not have to do with the fact that I left the house for a business trip at 3 AM this morning and am now sitting in an airport for my return flights.Report
