    I'm more than a little disappointed that my superfecta four-play of the the oldest living Academy Award winner, Nobelist, current-or-former Congressman, and Baseball Hall of Famer turned up ****-all last year.

    So, naturally, I'm going double or nothing.

      That takes a bit of the fun away. Can someone please whine at least a tad bit?
      It's tasteless. I would have complained sooner but I was always under the impression that was the whole point. (Of Poly too for that matter.)

          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

            There's a visual that I didn't need.

              I'd be interested to see how our picks compare to some of the bigtime, long-running dead pools out there.

                        Out of 20 picks? That's amazing. Is that a typical result?

                          I'm hoping things heat up in Syria so I can bag Bashir Asad.

                            They don't have a yearly breakdown on their site.

                            From their record book it appears 13 is the most they have had in a year and several players have scored 12 hits.

                              Nope. He's off to a life of exile before he follows the Khadafi example.

                                Lat year's winner of the Lee Atwater Invitational had 8 out of 10.

                                7-9 is normal.
