March Madness victory

Congratulations to Derek Slater of Reassembler for winning this year’s LEP March Madness bracket! Landing in the 56th percentile of all brackets nationally, he proved once again that mediocrity is usually good enough. He wins…the glory of this post.

In the meantime, we are working hard to blame the overall poor showing on bad luck and that we have higher priorities than analyzing college basketball (as opposed to sheer incompetence).

    Heartiest congratulations. The Reassmebler is a man of parts: Master chef, raconteur, chess expert, and now prognosticator and seer…well, actually the rest of our brackets just sucked, so strike that last.

    ESPN.com headline: Reassembler Stuns Field With Stunning Bracket Stun.

    The prize is Robert (or anyone really) saying I’m a raconteur. Now *that’s* stunning.

    Tx for doing the setup work!

    @Robert: raconteur? Between you, Derek, and Annie, it makes my of vocabulary

    @Derek: It’s amazing they couldn’t fit “upset” somewhere in there. (the relevant article)

      I meant to say “You, Derek, and Annie make my vocabulary look completely inadequate.”

    Donnie–the secret is to take some simple word, use BableFish or something and then italicize. Instantly, one sounds sooo smart! :) All due to a quick dose of Web magic!

    Raconteur is just French for, literally, “recounter,” that is, storyteller. But that would hardly be sufficient for the wonder that is Reassembleur.

    I don’t know the HTML for italicizing :(

    @Robert: imprimez en italiques!

    I feel smarter already!

    @Annie: Now you can know.

    Don’t forget to close the tags!
