The Winner!

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Congratulations to BlauerMond, who has won the $55 USD cash monies for the 2010 World Cup Annietown Pool! Even though she chose Argentina to take it all, she still managed to be a winner champion victor trimphant world-beater conquerer. She came in at 241 points. That is over ONE HUNDRED more points than me and like a THOUSAND MILLIONS points more than Mr. Pony, who is the Ultimate Winner. I will be Paypalling BlauerMond the cash monies, congratulations, you are now $55 richer. Please tell us what you will use your new found riches to buy. Hopefully you will buy something totally awesome, like a MINIATURE PONY ZOMG. Dude how cute is that. I want to nuzzle and hold it and put it in my pocket to keep it safe. Anyway, BlauerMond, please do something reckless and dangerous with the cash monies. Don’t use it to pay your electric bill or something. Real winners don’t need electricity anyway.

The second place winner is Mr. Savoury, who is in England. Congratulations, Dave! You have won…a booby prize. Everyone likes boobies! You will have to email me your mailing address and I will send you something at my discretion. I can tell you right now that it will not be as good as $55 USD, so don’t get too excited.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Sorry to those of you who lost. I’m particularly sorry that I lost. I am sure you guys are extra sad that I lost, too. I know I let a lot of people down. The best part is that now we don’t have to talk about this again for another four years.

And now comes the hard part:

sobering up.

WHAT?

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Well, the good news is that right now I’m not in last place.

The bad news is that I’m second to last place. But to make it sound extra fancy I will call it penultimate place. That means Mr. Pony is in ultimate place, which sounds eXXXXXXXXXXXtremely exciting. The extra Xs are to denote the actual ranking of the ultimate place he really is, if that makes sense. So really, I’m basically almost the winner of the ultimate place. I am the maid of honor and silver medalist. Hard to believe but it feels not as good as it sounds. I guess that means the uh…proximate(?) place is Blauermond, but things aren’t looking good for her because she has Argentina winning it all and they lost today (HA HA HA JOKES ON YOU and uh…many of us actually). Seriously though what is the opposite of ultimate? God, English really sucks you guys. I feel sorry for people who have to learn it.

In other news? I’m hungry.
