Philadelphia...you're welcome

Spoiler alert in case you've been spelunking the last 12 hours...

The Phillies have won the World Series...and I think I deserve a ring as well as my own float in the parade. Why? Not because I'm a Phillies fan...puke...not even close. I stupidly used my incredible jinxing powers.

"With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility"

Doh!

Not only did I single handily set the World Series match up with posts like this (go to second to last paragraph) and this, but I essentially predicted the winner with this gem. Further cementing their first Championship in 28 years was the mere fact that I kept this all to myself and did not post it, email it, or speak of it to a sole.

I expected mass rioting in Philly, but from the early reports I read, fans were just happy, not destructive.

Although my cell phone had some conflicting reports. Here are some text messages from an anonymous Philly Fan. They will remain anonymous so that I do not have to hand over my cell phone as evidence in some insurance fraud case. Those in the know can do the math.

Anonymous Philly Fan: (Oct. 30, 2008 12:43 AM)- Can't overturn my car. Will keep trying.

Anonymous Philly Fan: (Oct. 30, 2008 12:46 AM)- Can't flip it. :)

Anonymous Philly Fan: (Oct. 30, 2008 12:48 AM)- Guess I will light it on fire.

He's now either performing some complex medical diagnosis or is incarcerated. Either way he's probably fine with it. Congratulations to all you Phans. I think you'll easily repeat next year.

(ahh...see what I did there?!)
