maybe it's just broken

No email yet from Subway Guy. I'm starting to wonder if I've read all the signs wrong, or somehow missed that he's gay, or that he just really likes meeting new people from the neighborhood. Maybe he has an arm twitch that causes him to involuntarily wave at people

because your "strategy" is the girliest cliche EVER.

also, this does not mean i am letting you watch football when I'm around.

Yes, that is what makes it so GREAT. It's like feminism in ACTION.

Notice how I abandoned actually checking the scores after the first week...

*pouts* See, now you ruined my Take Back the Game moment. *sighs*

You crack me up...and good luck with the guy. I'm so proud of you for making the connection. I smiled at a guy at a bus stop for two years in grad school.

Still don't know his name.

It's so hard! Cause I get all excited and I can't contain myself, so the let down is a bummer. Um, but I still have hope!

and ps, V. COOL PICTURE IN YOUR LJ *squee*

I pick southern teams cause I like their names, or I'll choose a team whose name has cool alliteration, and last week I wanted an even number circled in both columns so I zigzagged my way down the list.

*is dying*

If only you had pictures of the mascots to help you decide! *g*

oh my GOD. You do not know how much now that I want them!!

Dude. You remind me SO MUCH of this sketchy they had on SNL when Peyton Manning hosted. It was a fake ESPN show where the two guests had picked winners for all their sweet sixteen basketball pool; Peyton played an expert who paid attention to the stats and whatever, and Amy Poehler played this secretary who based her picks on, like, ridiculous stuff, and was doing better than him, and it drove him nuts! HILARIOUS.

(This little snippet is all I could find online, but here the transcript.)

Mandy Jensen: It's a shelter for cats that have been overfed!

You do know if I win, I am SO TELLING everyone that I'm donating the money to this charity.

That's awesome that you are now a Football Expert! I'd wish you luck, but your current strategy seems to be working well :). Also, here's hoping the boss shares some winnings with you!

PS - even if you never hear from / see SG again, you still win cuz you got up the nerve to say hi. I'm guessing you'll see him again, though, and that he's just shy cuz y'all had such fun chatting on the train. *crosses fingers for you*

[lyra_sena]

I get to split the winnings with him if we win! Although I might press for 60/40; he didn't do anything!

I am hoping to see SG again -- SOON.
