Personally, all you Red Sox fans should be grateful I broke the damn curse
It was me who posted here after Red Sox had lost game 3 to the Yankees that the Red Sox were going down and that I'd continue the same bet for next year.

The moment I posted that God had a funny way of intervening and ending an 86 year old curse in order to embarrass the living daylights out of me when I have to post my bum here on DU.

1. Wait until the thread...
where you post said picture, gets voted onto the front page, before you start even considering what the scope of the word "daylights" really might be. ;-)

3. Actually, it was my relentless taunting of the curse
Though I will allow that once the Sox were informed of your rash bet, they perked up considerably.

4. There could be a job in this, LynneSin.
There are other long-suffering fans - like the Cubs and White Sox - who might put you on retainer. You might be deluged by letters begging you to pronouce their team finito. Or you could try saying really highly complimentary things about a certain undefeated football team and work some mojo there. Otherwise, I fear, a bunny suit is in your future.
