What post or posts reveal your utter lack of prescience? What post or posts show you at your clueless worst? When have you been at your wrongiest?
Mine were easy ones:

Since I’m engaged to be married, I think I was an ooch, a tad, a smidgeon wrong. Where are your greatest hits of non-psychic posts?
Nevermind. I misread what you wrote.
None. I have a 100% accuracy rate.
Oh, wait, what I actually have is a lousy memory at the moment. 
What, me, wrong?
I really can’t think of much, except I might have said that I’ll never live in another apartment ever, and yet, here I am, with loud asshole neighbors just inches away, little girls screaming at the tops of their little lungs just outside, and trudging up and down stairs. But for the most part, if I say I won’t do it, I often *won’t *do it, just because I’m stubborn like that.
There was that one time when I raised the possibility that I might been wrong. Turns out, that’s what I was wrong about.
I don’t think I’ve said anything here that was wrong, but that’s probably because I haven’t said all that much at all.
I predicted Casey Anthony would be convicted, so…
I was pretty sure that John Kerry would win the 2004 election, but I can’t find any posts where I came right out and said that.
Although in perusing my old posts, wow, I could really be strident and bitchy at times.
Totally different from now. Totally.
People can’t even get the past right, let alone the future!
Me too.
And I predicted Haley Barbour would be the next POTUS shortly before he announced he isn’t running.
And I’m working on what I think is my third consecutive year of zero points in the Dead Pool.
And I’ve predicted the New Orleans Saints would win the Super Bowl every year. So far, I was right once, but wrong several times. I’ll continue doing this one. Hope springs eternal. GEAUX Saints!
Can’t remember whether it was here or another message board, but it’s one that I completely got wrong: I predicted that HD-DVD would beat Blu Ray/
I thought going pay-to-play would hurt the boards and maybe even kill them. It did stymie some of the discussions and we did lose some people, but I don’t think we ever even got close to dying.
Banning the word “cunt” lost a lot of people (yes, I know it was more complicated, leave it) but it’s still pretty thriving. That one I didn’t lay any bets on though, because I didn’t really care.
I predicted PG&E would be filing for BK after burning down a neighborhood and killing a few citizens. They seem to have skated on that. :rolleyes:
And pretty much everything else I’ve ever posted.
Casey Anthony would be found guilty
I thought Bill and Hilary would have divorced by now.
Pretty much everything I ever predicted about Harry Potter (that it was significant that Dumbledore was on the chocolate frog cards, that it was significant that Harry made Dobbie promise not to save his life again) turned out wrong. I did predict that Harry and Ginny would wind up together.
I bet RTFirefly that Dean would get the nom in 2004. Oops.

I overestimated racism in the US and didn’t think a black guy could be elected POTUS. Pretty happy to be wrong there!
Yes. I made up a story about skipping out on a $700,000 bill in this post.
It wasn’t on this board but I once loudly and confidently declared that “this Twitter thing won’t take off.”
I still think Twitter is stupid but I am embarassed to be that wrong.
“Utterly” is a pretty strong word, but I was “pretty dang” wrong when I said the Tonight Show ratings would continue to be bad when Leno came back, while Conan’s next show would flourish.
*
The Tonight Show* is starting to be matched by The Daily Show, but Conan’s limping. Slumping. Gasping.
On the other hand, I said in that thread that Tina Fey wouldn’t guest on the Tonight Show after Leno came back, and that’s been true. Even though she’s had a couple of big movies to promote.
I bet everyone a hundred rupees that those time travelers from the colonies wouldn’t be able to change history.
