WORLD CUP PREDO DAY 14

Was it I, Predo Thomas, or perhaps the Warwickshire romantic poet Walter Savage Landor, who said:
I strove with none, for none was worth my strife:
Nature I loved, and, next to Nature, Art:
I warm’d both hands before the fire of Life;
It sinks; and I am ready to depart.
 We cannot know - we must not know.


Also the predo competition completes its second week and I still definitely think I can win.



An interview with the reclusive Neil Twitter, shortened from Neil of Twitter, a prominent figurehead of the US predo community, is printed thus:

Predo: Predo here. Jude has been on record saying that "he hopes Neil finishes bottom 5". After explaining who you are, what do we say to Jude's statement?

Neil Twitter: Well, I'd like to say that I'm deeply hurt, especially because I am already dealing with abandonment issues resulting from Jude cutting me out of his life. But to be honest, I'd expect nothing less from Jude, who I once found planting crack cocaine in my trash bin. When I questioned him, saying "Why, Jude? Why would you do this?" he couldn't give me a straight answer, but I always suspected jealousy, and that he was trying to have me removed from the picture because he was too cowardly to simply leave me himself. (cont...)


...I'm glad, in a way, that Jude finally found the guts to do what was necessary for himself, but his lingering animosity seems to me to reflect a deep self-loathing, probably because he's ashamed of abandoning me. Will I finish bottom 5? Almost assuredly, but not for Jude's sake. You see, I'm just bad at this, which, frankly, makes Jude's words all the more despicable. I hope he trips in a ditch and gets pissed on by a dog. See? That's a terrible thing to say, especially because knowing Jude it probably will actually happen. Anyway, I'm Neil, I'm just this guy, you know?

World Cup Predo: where feelings are real.

Here is the leaderboard after day 14, a day of shocks and spills, where a lot of people got absolutely dick all because Germany completely self-owned.
