Belly Button Chick I understand you have some important news on the democrapic primary!

"That's right, they appear to have a new frontrunner, check out the latest poll:

Cornavirus 30%

Sanders 28%

Biden 19%

ManBearPig 14%

Wow wow wow, joining us now is the Coronavirus itself, COVID-19.

"Excuse me that's SUPERVISOR CORVID-19 to the likes of you!!! I've just been elected in San Francisco County!!!"

My apologies, Alderman. So you are actually from San Francisco?

"Correct-a-mundo. Though I am a proud Chinese-American. You see what happened was a bat outside Wuhan bit an anteater which then got poached to make delicious soup, which was imported to Chinatown. Nancy Peloi had some and the rest is history."

So, what's your platform?

"A Black woman on the Supreme Court, full recognition of all 57 and a half genders, urge the UK repeal Megixt, and of course a complete ban on covering your face when you cough."

"Meh, I'm sticking with ManBearPig until I see a birth certificate."

[Bender2]

As I recall... from late week's thread:

For Week 4 my picks are:

LA Wussiecats over Meow York

Big’s Byrd Boys over them Godless Seattlites

While my main heart pump roots for my Dallas Lite Boys--

My secondary heart pump says... my Baby Oilers will win in the first half of the All Texas Championship of the XFL—

Lastly DC will get its sh!t together and smack down Tampa Bay

Danger, Will Robinson... Danger!

Danger, Will Robinson... Danger!

Bendy is wrong... bet the farm on Dallas, Will!

Put a fiver down... for me, too, lad--

Balderdash you all-- My computations... conclude Houston will win in the first use of the XFL's tie breaking system.

WILDCATS... RULE!!!!!

Oh Bendy, how I hate... my evil twin.

You should hear... what old frig'o_freeper says about you, Big--

Big doesn't believe in toilet paper... he says God made his left hand just for that chore!

Rats! Now I have to go home... and shower!

You are all wrong, Leela-- Big does my hair... and his left hand give my front bangs that special feel and smell!

I just wish the hair on my head... was all that Big washed--

I once shot Big in my pajamas... How he got into them is beyond me!

Now, now-- Rosie... and Whoopi here love Big.

Yeah, Big peels grapes... for me and feeds them to me all day!

And he does my hair... every week rain or shine.

Big-- BIG? Just what the hell... is going on here?

To begin with, Vince, Big and I picked the wrong week... to stop sniffing glue--

Since I cannot think of a better excuse, Vince.. what Lloyd says goes for me, too.

[HombreSecreto]

Same as usual for me...going 100% homer.

Re: LA Wussiecats 14 - Meow York 17
Fireless Dragons 16 - St Lu Brydboys 23

WE WAZ... ROBBED-- AGAIN!

WE... ROBBED-- AGAIN!

[big'ol_freeper]

My boys continue to roll. Not sure I’ll be able to watch the Austin Bowl today, but I’m sure a team from Texas will win.

[big'ol_freeper]

I see ole Landry has a bit of Romo in him. Can’t differentiate between a receiver and a safety.

[BenLurkin]

Some of these games are looking pretty good. NFL Europe always felt like watching pre-season. This incarnation of XFL feels like watching college rivalry games. (And that is meant as a complement.)

The quirky rules need to be-reworked. Either have kick-offs or don’t. What they’re doing now is neither fish nor fowl.

Keep the quirky PAT rules, maybe, but change the clock management rules. Maybe just say that in the last two minutws of each half, a first down stops the clock.

[big'ol_freeper]

Wait...is that Romo?

[Bender2]

Re: Houston 27 - Dallas 20

Well, hard played game... but at least we ain't gon'a kiss our sister--

You two don't know what... you are missing!

[Richard Kimball]

Dang, I thought I ws the only one that remembered that game. Cowboys-49ers, Thanksgiving, don’t remember the year.

[ro_dreaming]

I just realized I should be making picks, too! :-)

Will start next weekend

[Bender2]

Re: Winless Vipers Smoke DC 25 to Zip

Gadzooks and General Jackson-- The Dan Snyder Curse not on continues its run, it now gallops, all over Washington, DC--

Cannot think of a happier place... for it to happen!

Robbie and I toast... DC's fall from grace.

In lieu of flowers... cash may be sent via FR-Mail in care of Bender2--

Or y'all DC Fans can pay it... on my bar bill.

With Landry Jones going down with his bad knee being crumpled again, I still think my Lite Boys can get by Meow York next week--

Hold that thought, Bendy-- As Miss New York 2009... I say my Jersey Boys beat your Dallas Lite Boys!

Okay, Alyse, shall the bet be the loser... wears the gear of the winner?

What, no the loser... sleeping with the winner?

Okay, works... for me--

As to the rest of Week 5, I see my Baby Oilers staying unbeaten over Seattle--

The Viper shave the LA Wussiecats--

And finally, Big's Byrdboys keep DC down on the farm--

Looking forward to replacing this stew... with some Meow York in my Manbot Cave.
