Infinitive Splitter

Here are some things I would have written during the last three fortnights if I were a more disciplined (and cocky) blogger:

• When the Steelers make the playoffs, I am sure that my sister’s ex-boyfriend will send me the $100 he bet against them when we last saw each other, in May 2007.
• I’ve been telling people for a year that Mike Huckabee would be the Republican nominee, and his win in Iowa proves he’s unstoppable. Also: look out America, here comes John Edwards!
• I have played poker only three or four times in the last year, but I still expect to win a lot of money playing against strangers in Las Vegas. I certainly won’t lose more than a couple hundred dollars!
• Roulette looks like a fun game.
• The Giants are 25/1 to win the Super Bowl in some Vegas sports books during the week after the wild-card playoff weekend. Even with that kind of payoff, what idiot would bet on them?
• I’ve never listened to anything by the Fiery Furnaces, but a lot of the hip kids like them, and they’re playing a show with two talented bands. They’ll probably play a very enjoyable set.
• My bowling average will keep going up, up, up!
