Ode to a Zomby.....because I made a bet...sniffle
ahem...

If yaks could play football, Zomby's team would be tops...
They'd rush through the O-line, bust the QB in the chops.

If gatorade were coffee, Zomby's brew would be best.
Tired players would guzzle, and not need a rest.

Zomby is smart, Zomby is great...
Zomby got lucky, or else it was fate.

MrsGrumpy is sad, but a bet is a bet.
You wait till next year, we'll beat you yet.

>insert lime jello yak sculpture here<

Toss in a few flowers.

Give me a Z
Give me an O
Give me an M
Give me a B
Give me a Y.....

Good game ZombyWoof, I'm going to go throw up now. ;)

1. There, there, Mrs G; that wasn't so bad, now was it ?
The cadence of your fine prose lets a certain glumness shine through. Kinda like the guy on Laugh-in that would read poetry. :)

Lars(who is totally a-sports. Well, maybe soccer and basketball)

4. Oh, the pain, the pain




I think it's my fault they lost, MrsGrumpy. I was at a neighbor's house watching the first part of the game with her, & they were doing great. I left to walk home, & when I got there, Philly had their first touchdown. If I'd stayed at her house, things would have been OK.:-(

5. Awww, AL Noth your fault at all. I was pacing away from it all the
time too. I think Sherman should be smacked for not ending the game with Green going for it on 4th and 1. And they should have gone for that field goal...but this is all mute.

Hugs and hopes for next year, Laura

6. *yay*
I wanted you to be happy with a win, but being right is a burden sometimes. :evilfrown:

:evilgrin: Nice poem!

*eats lime jello yak* :hi:

(I was 3 for 4 on my picks - Tennessee let me down and now I have to revise my Super Bowl pick!) :o

9. My new Super Bowl pick
I am sticking with Carolina in the NFC, against the very hot Colts!

It should be a helluva SB, with Carolina in a squeaker.

12. I am from N.C...
but I lived in S. Jersey for 14 years....was a die hard Eagles fan. Always loved the Chiefs, though. Now, I've gotta go with the Eagles.

11. Simple beautiful!
I respect those who honor their obligations (albeit even weird Zomby bets).

14. But let me add this little daming commentary to the Eagles
Notice that they required an overtime to win, so let's face, they aren't all that good.

When the Packers win, they do it in just four quarters. None of this "Oh, just give us a few more minutes, please" crud.

:evilgrin:

16. Yes they did win -
as I said, the Eagles won. But notice that it took them overtime to do it. I'm just saying the Packers, had they won, would have done it without begging for more time. Packers are much more efficient that way, and hence the better team.

17. lol
I've never seen someone expend so much energy to undo the undoable.

Efficiency doesn't equal risk, luck, or judgment, which were the main factors. Namely for the Packers, who took no risk on that 4th and 1, had bad luck, and poor judgment. :D

18. I'm just trying to apply freeper logic to the situation
it was an exercise in espousing pure bullshit, but in a sincere manner tahthopefully would fool people. Much like, as I said, freepers and other morans.

But we all love the ZombyWoof.

19. I'm a moran!
It also wasn't wise to say more bad things about the Packers, since I love MrsGrumpy and don't want her mad at me! :-(
