Hello friends! I think we have enough people to join our little World Cup pool. So far, there are maybe…5 or 6 people. That’s like $30 USD of champion cash monies! OMG! You know what you can GET for $30?????? Holy shit! You can get like, five copies of my book (qualifies for SuperSaver shipping and, dudes, I think you can find it for six bucks now, sad and awesome at the sametime. A bargain!). You could ALSO get $30 worth of cheese. A really nice bottle of wine. Or 4 really, really crappy bottles of wine. You can get a unitard from American Apparel (just kidding, I just checked and they are over $30 USD). You can get about 30 mousetraps because they are only 99¢ each. You can get maybe 4 and a half cans of cockroach spray. You can get really, really, really nice soap. Like a soap that costs $30 must be pretty fucking nice. I bet your skin will feel amazing. You can get a lot of french fries. If you go to Taco Bell you can get a lot of Chalupas. So the point of what I’m saying is that you risk $5 USD for the chance to win enough Chalupas for your whole office. Maybe you can get that KFC chicken sandwich thing, the one where the ‘bread’ is two pieces of fried chicken, and it has mayo and bacon on the inside. Holy cow what is that about. This is why we’re fat, people.

Ok so here’s how it works. Go HERE and download the World Cup form. My friend Mike made this one, so big shout out to him, he’s the king of the spreadsheet.

Then, you fill it out and mail that to me, your friend, Annie Choi. It’s annie at annietown dot com in case you didn’t know. (There’s a thing in the corner that says “share” and you can choose “email as attachment”). Then I will email you a sweet, touching response with directions on how to Paypal your $5 USD to me. Remember, Europeans–$5 USD is basically free in Euro. You may not even need to send me money. IN fact, I may owe you money.

Problem! Warning! The tournament starts FRIDAY morning if you’re in the United States. But a few Annietown readers are from not the United States and from places whose languages include cute letters that wear hats or ties sooo you guys have to do that math for that. I hate time zones. We should all be free from time. So let us say everyone gets the picks to me by Friday morning 8 am eastern time (basically, if you cats do it tonight or Thursday night we’ll all be cool).

Ok give me questions in the comments section!

This is very exciting. Mostly because I’m about to not win $30.

UPDATE: Here are the RULES in case you were wondering how this whole thing works. Also I stole this from Mike Moyer. He is organizing a very spendy pool, and this pool is for cheapos like myself. All of this doesn’t matter because I’m not going to win, so wtf you know?
