Dear honorary Canadian and most banned person evah,



Whilst there are two people here I refuse to read cause of my VERY strong feelings for them (we are not exactly talking popsicle thread thoughts here) ... ooops I mean whilst I cannot comment on everything as I have not read everything you have read and commented on (think that three times fast. Go on, I dare you) I would like to address this:

Dear Doo Dah (oh wait is that Old Dog cause I actually need to talk to him about his balls so I should start over).


I once told Pointie (I can call him that. He will never see this and, therefore, never know my deep and dark secret) I was intimidated to post on those. He was so nice about it! Totally encouraged me to. Alas though I really only post my picks on occasion (I do post Aus on Friday nights a lot) and usually not how much, etc.


NIcky (I can call him that too. He won't come slumming down here) posts official picks (hey I can call him oh Nicky you're so fine here!) , some people tweet them, some prefer to post here.


I think, for the most part, people that do do it for the same reason I used to look at the swimmers in HK or whatever. It is just what they enjoy.


Doesn't seem to me like they are looking for applause and hey they are talking about racing so why the problem?


That said I do not and will never understand why people play other peoples picks. I mean I like checking mine on occasion with someone who I think is a good capper but they don't change my mind or anything... just makes me feel a bit confident.


Some might feel inclined to post the account info to back it up and most do not.


I think,instead of the daily birthday and insulting some fine handicappers (and a few who totally suck ass) someone needs a hug and some chocolate and to let this go.


Gooooo, be freeeee, fly awaayyyyyyyyyyyy!


There!


All bettah now?

What are your selections?

Arthur is my friend. He dropped the temperature in this hellacious place that I live from a "feels like" 105 sticky degrees to a humidity free and breezy, close your eyes and pretend you're in California sort of 3 days.
