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.
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!
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 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.
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.
