Breakup Pools are Hard to Do

Dammit Ian this isn't the damn price is right. You can't pick one day after me. I've got my broom and I'm calling shenanigans.

Is that a different Amy, or is she actually participating in the breakup pool? If she is, isn't that cheating?

Mike, she has picked a date, but, much like Court is inelligible to win. I just don't want to deny someone a chance to be right.

I'm going to go with July 18. When July 4 rolls around, she may be ok with everything, but suddenly start doubting your relationship once she remembers that she planned on ending it that day... two weeks will roll by before she gets the nerve to do it. I've got a good feeling on this one.

I'm not interested in joining the pool, but I will throw my two cents in anyway...I think for her to actually dump you with this whole pool thing going on would be ridiculous, and actually kind of low of her...no disrespect at all, but I mean honestly, she's entered into the pool herself, so obviously she's got a sense of humor about this...it just doesn't seem likely at all that Amy would actually go through with it and break up after all that build-up, you know...unless she was a serious head case, that is.

if amy is taking july 4, i'm gonna go with july 3. my guess is you'll be feeling the break up coming and shoot some fireworks at her in antagonization. that might get you dropped. prove me right, man- i've got some talent.

Nate, I'm going to have to abstain from the pool. I will, however, drink to your happiness. Actually, fuck it - i'll just be drinking. Sorry about the voodoo doll.

On a side note, i'm kinda pissed my hiatus ends after everyone has ripped into Plagiarius...er.."Steve". No matter, after my backlash with Stacie, i'm seeking the way of zen. Also, I had to be stereotypically late to keep with our innovative humor.

Tyler, in a sense you just voted like Curtiss. You can vote that we won't break up.

Hey Nate,
I'm going to put in the bet for July 27th, the first (and only) late night game of the Cards-Cubs series. I'm thinking that will be the breaking point for Amy. Good luck (whichever that may be).

I vote that she won't break up with you...just because she seems like the type of girl who will hang in there no matter what!

Can't you just reward her with hawt sex afterwards? That's what I do during the football (read as soccer - I live in England) and rugby seasons with my ex-boyfriend.

I do have a sense of humor about this whole thing, but I'll be happy when the topic changes. I'm starting to get a little disturbed in fact...

I picked July 4th based on what I know about my family ("When are we going to meet Nathan?") and what I know about men ("What do you mean I have to eat dinner with your folks?").

Anyway, I wouldn't plan on breaking up with someone. That's just stupid.

"I wouldn't plan on breaking up with someone. That's just stupid." My thought exactly.

August 11th: the same day that the Jets make light work of the pansy Bucanneers (and becasue I'm in the prediction mood: 21-10)

Actually I'm from Trenton, NJ, about 45 minutes north of Philly. And after yesterday's little spectacle at the cards game, I might start a petition for the removal of Charlie Manuel as manager. And I almost shed a tear when the hitting streak ended.

Rob, sorry about the streak. Not sorry about the sweep.

Faith, am I tripping, or did you just talk smack about and predict a pre-season game?

Amy, being my girl ain't easy. You're doing a great job. Of course, you could always just stop reading altogether. But, whatever.

All dates and names have been noted and will be noted until the 30th. Pool updates will be every Thursday.

Not just a pre-season game, this is the first preseason game. A virtual glance into the worth and caliber of a team on the eve of a new and trumphant season, a leap into the mighty unknown.

And besides: I'm a Jets fan, I gotta talk smack about something early, because I'm not going to be able to after Halloween.

"I'll be happy when the topic changes. I'm starting to get a little disturbed in fact..."

Heheh, I don't blame you Amy. Nate, yeah my bottom line was the same as Curtiss's (is that really supposed to have 2 s's?), but I just thought I'd explain why I thought that way. By the way, love the blog, the snippets are the best. Keep on keeping on dude.

Put me down for June 11th =)

Well, Chad, it all depends as to whether or not Nate accepts your Shenanigans. In which case, you can beat the shit outta me when you get down here.

I just realized the joke of a swimming pool with no water in it.

Breakup pools...nice.

Wow, Court's a little slow on that one...
