Presenting the guaranteed winning formula for filling out your 2024 March Madness bracket. And also, you’re 7.

If you’re ready to finally win your office pool, keep my kid’s surefire strategies in mind when you make your picks.

GEORGETOWN “Because I like Curious George.”

TENNESSEE “Because Hannah Montana was born there.”

GEORGIA TECH “Because Texas is a place.”

BUTLER “Because there’s a ‘butt’ in the front.”

MURRAY STATE “Because Belle’s dad’s name is Maurice.”

MARQUETTE “Because the Golden Eagles thrive when they get their paint touches, so with Kolek at 100%, watch for Shaka’s boys to continue the pounding they gave to the Vols in the Final Four as they match up once again with UCONN for the title.”

KANSAS “Because Dorothy lives there.”

CORNELL “Everybody likes corn.”

WOFFORD “And waffles.”

And KENTUCKY “No reason.”

Does this look Linfected?

This week, New York Knick’s point guard sensation, Jeremy Lin, underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to repair a small chronic meniscal tear in his left knee. The six-week rehabilitation all but guarantees an end to his season. But more important, what’s a hack New York headline writer to do?

Do you suffer from Linsomnia? Are you experiencing Linertia? Ask your doctor if Linestra™ is right for you. Linestra™ should not be taken by pregnant women or Linfants, or people who use a Linhaler or are taking Linsulin. Linestra™ could cause Lintense swelling at the site of Linjection. If you accidentally Lingest Linestra™, immediately Linduce vomiting. Ask your doctor if you are healthy enough for sexual Lintimacy. Linestra™. The Possibilities are Linfinite. (Thanks to scrabblefinder.com.)

The winning strategy for filling out your NCAA brackets. And you’re seven.

Image

My daughter won last year’s office pool with the following reasoning. If you win this year, she’d like a cut. Or some waffles.

GEORGETOWN, because I like Curious George.

TENNESSEE, because Hannah Montana got born there.

GEORGIA TECH, because Texas is a place.

BUTLER, because there’s a “butt” in the front. (Followed by an entire minute of uncontrolled laughter.)

MURRAY STATE, because Belle’s dad’s name is Maurice.

MINNESOTA, because…. mint. (More laughing.)

CORNELL, because I like corn.

WOFFORD, because I like waffles.

MONTANA, because you guys go fishing there.

SIENA, because it’s an S for Snake.

MARQUETTE, because it’s almost like cats… and I like cats.

KANSAS, because Dorothy lives there.

And KENTUCKY. No reason.
