Don't Wanna Brag But...
When I call 'em, I sure call 'em!
End result of tonight's "Test The Nation" on CBC (which was a first-class operation and a superb networking blast, by the way):
My team, the Bloggers, win...not just as predicted, but as boastingly GUARANTEED last week right here.
Also as GUARANTEED here, top scorer over-all was a blogger, my buddy Rick Spence with an incredible 57 out of 60 correct (I had a mere 51 correct, FYI). Not only does this increase bragging rights, but it saves me $500.
Well, not really, as I'm still gonna donate it to a charity, but at least it'll be out of goodwill, and not for losing a bet.
I'm on a prognostication roll. Super Bowl predections, anyone?
UPDATE: Below is a pic of yours truly holding the most prestigious trophy hardware since Lord Stanley's Cup. Thanks to the fastidious Craig Silverman (who has yet to catch one of the many errors here at Surprise Central) and his blog for it.
Nice shot, but somewhat festishly perverse, dontcha think?
Hey Andy -- congrats on the win! You the man!

Somehow I think it would have made for better television had the bloggers lost. There was little doubt in my mind the bloggers would celebrate a victory last night.
Glad we finally got to meet after hearing about you from other members of the Spodek clan for the past umpteen years.

Andy, it was great seeing you at Test the Nation in Toronto. Thanks for your advice about being a cab driver. It surprised the heck out of my family and friends across the country who were watching. My mom also sends her regards. Bravo on the win!
