you mean one that is actually correct?


Off the top of my head, I can only think of two bad predictions:

(1) HD-DVD vs Blu-ray
(2) Hillary will win the electoral college.

But I welcome others.

I'll make a bold prediction that you won't see Vick take another snap at QB in a regular season game again.  Except maybe as a Raider someday.

I'm with you.  And it will be $100 more.

Great find.

See if you can find my Tiger Woods prediction, if I even put it on here, where I bet a bartender $1000 that Tiger Woods didn't really hurt his knee, but instead was being quietly removed from the tour a week before they start testing for HGH.  How would we prove it?  He won't win a single tournament next year.  That was almost 4 years ago and I haven't paid for a drink in that bar since.

I know I asked the 27>34 question before and I squat about sports, so even when I heard it I was a waste of bytes
…but jadedgratefulex jump-started this thread with a walk through a history that I didn't know existed

On this board somewhere, Smackie debates with Julian about Cousin Oliver as we have starkly different opinions of this character.  One of us puts him in the pantheon of TV characters on The OC.  And he is wrong, though I did promise to watch again and have not done so.

Pantheon? I don't know about pantheon. I find his run of episodes episodes less grating than you do. Although I'm definitely on the record of saying he pronounces "crudites" uniquely, so maybe that's what you're recalling.

Oh wow, yep totally missed that.

I would absolutely rather watch Oliver on the OC before I watch Oliver on the Brady Bunch.

I will say this though, even after all these years, my feelings for Marsha haven't changed at all.  I might even like her even more as I've gotten older.

I'd like add that Robbie Rist aka Cousin Oliver is highly regarded in Power Pop circles

I finally got around to seeing Daft Punk Unchained.  Probably super late to that party, but I absolutely loved it, even if you don't learn a damn thing about Guy-Man and Thomas.

Does a pretty good job here.  I'm going to have to think about this:

The OC Went Off The Air 10 Years Ago Today, Here Are My Top Five Moments And Songs From The Show
I recently recommended this show to my friend Shamoniki and she finally took me up on my offer to borrow all four seasons on DVD about 2 weeks ago. (Physical media, I know!) Got a FB post on my timeline informing me she was on season 3 already and hadn't left the house in two days. ANOTHER CONVERT!
