Bonfire! The Jinxin’by Lonnie Bernarde ~ February 13th, 2008. Filed under: Bonfire!. |
|
I told you so! Last week I told you that CCB (Cracked Crystal Ball) would let me down, and IT DID! |
CCB said Truex would win. Truex crashed! CCB was not sold on Stewart’s new manufacturer. He got second. CCB said Jr. would have trouble by trying too hard to give a good first impression. Yep, that was accurate???
But in defense of CCB, I should note that it was right on with one thing at the Bud Shootout. It said Mears was the ugly duckling at HMS. CCB was correct; the five car ended up fourth of all the HMS cars (though he finished 6th overall).
You now see the power I have with that little glass globe. The mastery of the JINX! This is exactly what has been happening for the last six years. For you fantasy geeks, please for your own good, do not, I repeat DO NOT pay attention to anything I say anymore as far as predictions, or if you do-buyer beware!
Use this article for “entertainment” purposes only. Kinda like horoscopes. What is said in here, what is done in here, what you see in here, definitely needs to stay in here. For your sake, for your fantasy team’s sake, and just plain for goodness sake do not follow CCB’s advice.
Here we go as I just got done shining up CCB and put new duct tape on the crack. I’m not sure why I don’t change the duct tape more often, as I have 25 rolls lying around. The reason I have so much tape is due to the Y2K scare a few years ago when Uncle Sam told us to be prepared for the worst. The Feds not only warned us about the possibility of computers failing, but told us to stock up on things such as canned foods, batteries and for who knows why-duct tape! I imagine that Dick Cheney must have had stock in 3M or some company that makes that ugly sticky gray stuff. There I go again! Not only am I off on a tangent, but another conspiracy theory in the making. At least Nascar.com should be happy as I’m not talking about them anymore and have changed my focus on the government instead.
With that said, allow me to give you a taste on whom to expect to win in BONFIRE’s league this year. Give me a drum roll please!
CCB says my wife will get her second championship in 2008 and I will be chasing her for the top spot. Go figure that two Bernarde’s will be on top. There won’t be any conspiracy theory there if that would happen, huh? My Mom (LaRae) is expected to finish third. That is unless she decides to pick up Mikey (her favorite). Our two-time champ Darryl will end up fourth and last year’s champ and perennial top five (Dan) will round out the top echelon. Or should I just say it, will be bottom dwellers when it’s all said and done.
Then we have our so-called bottom according to CCB. It says Jody will be number 20. That’s what he gets for trading in his Bobby Labonte hat for one that has a 12 on it. But if the Bud Shootout tells us anything, Jody will be on top and prove CCB wrong again as he just won his third Shootout by having Jr. on his team.
Finishing 19th will be one of our four rookies (Wayne). He will find his name in lights often this year, but he will have some familiar company with his son Jordon next to him in the eighteenth spot. All I can say to the new guys is: Welcome to BONFIRE! My six-year old son, Bryson will be next in line with Chris ending up at 16th.
There you have it, my infamous predictions for BONFIRE with the help of CCB! Until after the 50th Daytona 500, keep the fire burning!
