Well, this is an interesting situation and no mistake! I’m in a complete win-win-win. I’d like to thank those of you who have been steadily trying to irritate me and bust up my predictions. Without your efforts, I would not now be in the position of being satisfied with whatever the outcome is.

Truly, your efforts are appreciated, although I’m a little disappointed in some of you for how easy it was to yank on your chains. I’m very interested to see what you are going to do.

A) I’ve predicted that Bullroarer would win. However, just as I’d expected from the beginning, a bit of momentum against him was building. The obvious thing for them to do is vote for somebody else…However,

B) I’ve said a number of times that Smaug would be a strong dark-dragon candidate to win at the end…Lo and Behold, he is! So if you vote for him to win, I’ll still have been right.

C) The other thing I have said is that a dwarf will not win this. The final alternative (and the only one that would prove me “wrong”) would be to vote for him to win. Alas, this prospect alone is probably enough to cause certain people to have aneurisms. Doubly annoying to them is that I would certainly not be complaining if a dwarf did manage to win, even though it would throw my carefully crafted calculations out the window.

I suspect that they would now like to choose Smaug as the least of the three evils (so far as they are concerned, although Smaug may have been Ang’s preferred candidate from the beginning). However, that prediction should now throw some of them into a complete tizzy! What can they do now to throw off my prognostications?

Again, my thanks to you (you know who you are). This has been quite fun.

BAWH-HAWH-HAWH-HAWH!!!
