Ernie who's a contestant on The Weakest Link (now in syndication)! He's not allowed to tell us how he does, lest he be liable for a hunk of a million dollars in penalties, but Go Ernie! All that time waiting in line like a dork has finally paid off!

The Cal Bears who broke a year and a half home losing streak on Saturday to stuff Baylor's Bears 70 to something-a-lot-less-than-70! Let's hope it's not a fluke. I gotta say, though: I knew Ernie was perfect for this game from the start. (specifically this)

The Oakland A's, who've won 19 games in a row. The only times a team has doen better than that was back when they'd play all their home games at once, then go on the road and play. Not bad for a team with 1/3 the salary budget of the Yankees. Will this be the third year in a row that they face each other in the pennant race?

Me. There's God's own thunderstorm going on outside right now, and I can feel the ground shake betweenthe flash and the thunder. I love weather.

Someone who doesn't need luck is Kristin, kicker of asses and taker of names.
