NFL Week 11

Evil’s Week 11 Picks

I don’t wanna talk about week 10. That week is dead to me.

If the Texans don’t slow down their eating habits they’re going to need Jenny Craig… er wait, forget that idea, they’d probably actually eat her too. So far they’ve had dolphin (hear it tastes just like chicken), jaguar, bronco, greek god (tastes just like ambrosia which I understand is a lot like a hotdog), jet aircraft, raven, buffalo and the rider and now bear. Hope they liked jaguar because they get a second helping this week.

My take: Continue reading →

Sir Evil’s Results for Week 9 and Picks For Week 10

Back in black again. More to the point, breaking ever so slightly even again. And I got 10 games last week, not bad.

It would appear that Texans like their Buffalo well done. And Cowboys can be eaten by Falcons.

My take: Continue reading →

NFL Week 9

Sir Evil’s Analysis

Ah, that’s more like it. Normalcy. Last week I got 6 games and gambling has gone to the dogs. Carolina is still managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the last two minutes of the game.

I think Carolina is made of anti-manning because they do the exact opposite of what the Manning boys do in the last two minutes. We’re probably all very lucky that they didn’t make too much contact when the Giants were in town. Had they canceled each other out, the explosion would have been enormous.

greenbay Evil’s Take on the NFL This Week

If the bug is back, I ain’t fixin’ it. I got 12 of 13 games last week. Too bad the gambling went south, thanks to the horrifying beat downs, the lines were blown away this week.

My take:

Football In The Twilight Zone
1988 NFL Divisional Playoff Game

Evil Makes his Picks

Well there was a bug in the software, doubt that was why I was making great picks though. Either way I think I fixed it, what with making 6 games and gambling dropping right back to break even.

Usually Twilight Zone week is week 4. Guess Rod Serling was busy that week. Twilight Zone football occurred this year in week 6.

My take on Week 7:

Evil’s Picks

When you’re the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals, there’s nothing like stopping by St. Louis so they can remind you that you’re still the Arizona Cardinals, and you are not going to the playoffs.

My take for week 5:

2012 NFL Weeks 1 to 4

Sep30

Evil’s Picks

Due to the epic struggle to close one bad business and start the next one, I’ve been too busy to worry with the NFL. So now to keep my sanity from all the spreadsheets and document mining I’ve been doing, I’m making my football picks. Of course, that involves a lot of document mining and spreadsheets.

Hmm… keeping the sanity might be a lost cause.

Here’s the up to date stats/picks. Continue reading →

Exorcism Inc.

Jul17

Every Monday night at 9:00 I like to listen to Aenigma Project (aenigmaproject.com) on Tenacity Radio (www.tenacityradio.com/listen). This is a show about paranormal topics. If you’ve never heard of it, go there next Monday, join the chat. It’s a lot of fun.

Tonight’s show was about the Zozo Phenomenon which, near as I can tell, is a way some guy thought of to get his Tribute to My Space web page to the top of the Google rankings. If you go there, put on #14 welding goggles first.

But I digress, since this post is all about me. Being a businessman, especially a failing businessman, everything looks like a business opportunity to me. And tonight was no difference. While we were discussing exorcisms it occurred to me that there might be a business here.

I’m not a big believer in the paranormal. Despite seeing a LOT of ghosts, I’m not sure I believe in them, and I don’t believe in demons and monsters or possessions. Maybe it happens, but my bet on that is it’s rare, like winning the lottery rare. If I hit the lottery tomorrow night, I’ll change my mind. Continue reading →

Another Design Guy Sighting

Jul17

Been a while since I posted any Design Guy sightings. This, if you don’t know, is the guy who made it so that when you set the temperature on your oven, you also have to press “Start”. Yes I’m talking about the Most Evilest Man in the World.

Lately the Queen’s laptop does something that can only be the work of the Design Guy. When she plugs in the power cord she gets a message that says, “Plugged in, not charging.” Think about that a minute and explain why that’s even an option? And it’s not a hardware problem, from the looks of things (with a little magic on her part), she can actually get it charging.

Every time someone does a little Voodoo Dance to get the computer to work, one of the Design Guy’s minions gets his horn. Then it stops charging again.

E.W.

This reminds me also of the message on the TV a while back, “You seem to be experiencing difficulty with your cable. If this persists, you should call your cable provider.”
