I'll start:

"HEY RANDALL!"

"WHAT?"

"Cherish The Moment is a FILLY, NOT a COLT!"

"Yeah...I know...I'm really sorry about that oversight on my part."

"You know, this idiot-goofball thing you're doing will get old if you don't learn your stuff at some point. Maybe you should, I don't know, check at least the GENDERS before you do your genius analysis!"

"Point taken. Thank you."

See, I do what I choose to do very well, but I'm definitely not funny. This column was fantastically funny!

In other news, its interesting that as I read your picks #7-12, I kept thinking that there's a lot of merit to a lot of horses on the bottom of that list (Hidalgo's pair, Tyson, etc.)... Nice pickup!

I managed to contradict myself in Part II.

Radee has actually defeated my pick to win (Derby Report) but i said he hadn't beaten anyone in the field.

Oops.

Another enjoyable installment! Thanks for writing these - I get a kick out of them, especially the tangents!

Good, as always!

And then I thought, "Hey! The Peterson principle! That's from my sociology class!" and was all happy because my college education was finally linked to the SIM in some tiny way.

But then I looked it up, and it's Parkinson's Law, and the Peter Principle, and neither mention brown-nosing, but are still very relevant to work/ethics.

Ah well.

Great job, Randall!

(And I completely agree about Lost. All I'm asking you to do is answer ONE question without posing 45687980210986548709510658 new ones. Seriously.)
