IN..thanks paul

Okay Paul... thanks for nothing.

Someone tell me the rules and I'll build a database to track the results... because I got skills like that.

One caveat, I'll only do this if you fuckers email your picks via an excel spreadsheet. I will email you all a template to fill out and return back to me.

Why, you ask? I refuse to do data entry into tables from results posted in this forum. It's... below me. Yes, I'm a stuck up, prick. But that's me.

I believe I'll wait on the official draft guru contest traditionally administered by Toos....er, Aaron in Tucson, the past 5 years before committing to anything Ucunt #99 could devise.

It's still 11 days off, and Toos usually waits until about a week prior.

More than enough time.

I handed off the Guru Draft Contest to Cueball last season and was expecting him to run with it but it seems he’s disappeared…ahem!

If that Jackass doesn’t step up by Friday I’ll send you the set UC.

I wouldn't "devise" it... I don't wish to be involved in the rule making process and amendments thereof. I would just take whatever was in place and "track" it.... much more efficiently than was done before, I might add.

Oh wait... why am I trying to explain this to you. Don't you drive a forklift for a living?

Why do I bother trying to explain anything to you? You're just about the dumbest "legitimate" poster (read as... idiots who are NOT here just to troll... like m2) I've had the misfortune of coming across.

Can you move that pallet over there for me??? Bitch.

And just how in the fuck would you know if your method was "much more efficient"? You have no idea how it was tracked before.

Not that it matters. How hard can it be to track how many first round picks a player hit's correctly? I'm sure that even you could manage it w/o fucking it up too badly.

Oh wait... why am I trying to explain this to you. Don't you drive a forklift for a living?

No, actually. Not that it matters what I do for a living. I could be a janitor, and then taking out trash like you would be quite appropriate, wouldn't you say?

So, you beautiful person you...since you look down on forklift drivers, what do YOU do for a living that makes you so glamorous?

For some reason, the title of manager of a Cash Advance America payday loan store seems to resonate, but I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Btw, you can run the draft contest if you wish. Knock yourself out.

I'll still destroy you in the pick's, and I'll back that statement up with whatever amount of cayshe you've managed to skim from the poor suckers who use your service.

Look at Whitey get tough. Go ahead and puff that concaved chest out Mr "I oversee forklift drivers while wearing my size 24 waist acid washed floods". You da man.

D-punked is on a roll now, I see. Nice use of the quote feature.

Dumbshit, I could be a cripple in a wheelchair with MD, and still burn donuts around your pathetic mentally challenged ass.

ps; D-punks resume seems to quite clearly resonate as lower level desk jockey in a last chance refi mortgage outfit. That, or top banana at the local Aaron Rents.

Before knocking Whitey's career, realize forklift driving is a skill in high demand these days. Employers won't even give you the time of day if you don't have at least two hands and a foot. If you aspire to someday become a forklift driver, I suggest turning 16. I hear that really opens doors for you. While not required by most employers, an ability to read and understand the newspaper will really improve your job prospects. It may be time consuming, but if you actually get ABC certified and know your alphabet, not to mention you're able to read the 2nd smallest line of an eye chart, I'm told that companies will give out great perks like lunch and smoke breaks.

Can you read? I'm not being facetious... just a legitimate question:

UCant#2... a couple of days ago wrote:I'll build a database to track the results.

I'm pretty sure someone printed out a bunch of paper and compared each entry to the actual result. Let's say there's 30 entries and it takes you a shade under 2 seconds to check off each line. That's about 30 minutes worth of work. That's checking 960 line items. Even if the person checking this stuff has a 99% accuracy rate, I'd still expect about 10 errors. As opposed to:

I'd copy/paste 30 entries into a table, copy/paste actual results into another table, and then run a simple query to track the results. Total time spent.. less than 10 minutes. Zero percent chance of making an error.

Let's see... 30 minutes worth of work and high chance for an error(s) as opposed to 10 minutes worth of work and zero percent chance of an error. Hmmm....

Ya see Whitey... many, many years ago in a land far, far away... this dude named Bill Gates invented some pretty neato software that enabled educated people with skills to accomplish really cool stuff.

Oh wait... why am I trying to explain this to you? Don't you drive a forklift for a living? Why do I bother trying to explain anything to you?

Were you absent in the 3rd grade when they taught the class how to effectively pluralize words? Just an "s", no apostrophe.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 1:56 pm

I'll gladly volunteer to organize the contest if no one else wants to do it. Do you guys usually pick the entire first round?

Cicero · Post by **Cicero** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 2:09 pm

Shoalzie will do a good job. He's a stand up guy.

Woah!

I've been schooled by a legend in his own mind whose entire repertoire consists of forklift and punctuation smack. I hope that I don't mis-speel any words, else this could really get ugly.

It's cool if you rub the draft cotest, Ucunt.

I don't care how you do it. I'm only interested in results....

...and the hellaciously cool stuff that Toos sends out to the victor.
