Christopher Robin Loses A Grand

Well, my early event was canceled due to rain. It's been predicted to be rainy and ugly all day. Strangely enough, it's sunny right now with barely a cloud in the sky. Gotta love meteorologists.

Know what I just realized? I haven't posted about meteorologists yet. Which is strange, because they're such an easy target for ridicule. Maybe that's why. Maybe they're just too easy for me... Oh well, I'm going to make fun of them anyways (Sorry for getting your hopes up if you're a meteorologist).

Let's see, where to start, where to start. So many things to talk about and only so long I can talk before losing your interest (and if you're reading this part, I'll assume I haven't lost your interest yet). I think I'll start with a haiku.

If people gambled
On weather, the odds would be
Against weathermen


What I'm trying to say here is that if meteorology was a professional gambling sport, so many people would bet against meteorologists that betting for them could net you a lot of money (on that occasion that they're right). They probably aren't paid too much, so that may actually be a good way to make money on the side. Black market weather gambling. Sounds so illicit when I say it. It'd play out something like this:

"What are the odds of Precipitation today?"
"Well, sir, official weather reports place her at 75%, and so odds right now are 3:1 against."
"Hmmm, I'll put a grand on Precipitation by 2 PM today!"
"Alright, it's your money after all"
"Damn right it is"
(2 hours later)...
"Damnit."

The title is in reference to Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin's "Tut, tut, it looks like rain" quote.

Also, stay tuned because I'm going to be posting mah surprise later this afternoon and/or early tonight. And I'm removing the rating system for now because it simply diminishes my glory.
