We have our two winners! Of course, like an idiot who has been writing “Don’t forget to put your picks in!” every week, what do you think I did? Yup, I forgot to put my picks in.
It wouldn’t have mattered, of course, as I was too far off the pace. Two skilled pickers, however, were not and now get a grab at Old School Zero’s bag of goodies and a lovely bottle of fine liquor from yours truly. Let’s take a look at the final standings:
DFO Spreads Wide (picking against the spread, Prize = A grab at OSZ’s bag of goodies)
And the winner is…..
the king in yellow! The King was clutch when it counted, taking the high score for the week and knocking off sunrisesunrise. Doktor Zymm rebounded nicely to share third with King Hippo while Push it real good was closely behind in fourth. The king is dead. Long live the king in yellow!

DFO Picks Its Nose (Straight-Up pick, Prize: A bottle of fine booze)
Moose not only won, he won with ease. Yeah Right tried valiantly to make up the deficit with the second highest score for the week, but it was not enough as Moose took the contest by 6 games.

Congratulations to both of you! Please contact us with your info so that we can send you your winnings. My gmail is vivasteelers. I’ll make sure that OSZ gets the info for the king in yellow. Moose, let me know what fine booze you would like to receive.
Thank you all for playing! We’ll do this again next year.

Tied for 6th ATS and solo 6th straight-up. WOOOO MEDIOCRITY!!!
Although, I was one pick over .500 ATS! Fuck it, I’m movin’ to Vegas to be a pro gambler!
Remember, winners, I offered an original drawing to the winner when this all started (and no one had seen any of my work yet), and the offer still stands. Let me know what you’d like, and after it’s complete, we’ll work out the details on how to get it to you.
Congratulations on your victories.
Can I request an octopus/Lynda Carter drawing for Moose?
Of course you can. You want ’em mashed up, or Linda “fighting” the octopus?
You know what? Artist’s choice. Have fun with it!
My drawing request is for an snapshot of the daily life of Erelhei-Cinlu, the drow city from the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons module: D3 – Vault of the Drow, which would characterize both the evil and chaos that dwells in a fully functional drow city. The drow city is crowded not only with drow, but with it’s many slave races, such as bugbears and troglodytes, and evil visitors, like vampires and demons. All mixed together in a cosmopolitan mix that’s unfathomable, even to it’s denizens.
Or you can just draw me a picture of a warrior cat for my daughter.
Um… Yeah. The second one seems, well, feasible, at least.
Slacker!
Did you think I became an artist because I like to work?!
Anyway… a warrior kitty? Like a thundercat or some such?
No they’re just normal-looking cats with warrior hearts. They are huge with adolescent girls. Just google “warrior cats mothlight” or “bluestar” or some such. There will be a million images.
This is…. bizarre. But you asked, you shall receive. Any favorites of yourdaughter?
Mr. Entropy, you have no idea how much I would prefer something pornographic for myself, but being a parent has certain obligations. She likes, Bluestar, Mothlight, and Micah.
Hey, I work fast. Why can’t you get both? I’ll see what I can do for you. Parental sacrifice deserves *some* kind of reward.
A battle scarred Wonder Woman riding an armored moose (Clyde) in a foggy dystopian future, maybe Debbie Harry riding behind her, sadly clutching. Any combination of these four things combined with the artists inspiration would be great.

Just like I do in fantasy football every year, I finish in fucking second.
That’s alright. A good time was had by all.
Thanks for overseeing the procedings Balls.
Congrats Moose.
I won the office pick ’em too…..
*Because my main rival didn’t pick week 16, she would have beat me I’m sure.
Probably would have won the pool too……….

Does the AFL have something like this?
Not only do they have gambling, they have a weekly web show devoted to discussing the lines and an online sportsbook is an official sponsor of the AFL.
Reason#537 the AFL is run better than the NFL.
And you can bet on the games IN THE STADIUM. The drain of gambling on society is greatly exaggerated.
I needed the Heimlich and it never came. Congrats to the king in yellow.
Thanks! I fully expected to choke, but some of my “stupid” picks paid off. Hooray for me.
