I probably shouldn’t gamble with the Oscars

For those anxious to know how I did. Well, I lost $2,023. Note that I would never bet $2,000 in each category. I just used that number because I didn’t think to state my bets in the last post. Had I done so I probably would have lost more. I suck at betting. One time I bet my friends Chyna was a girl. Technically I should have won. Her clitoris only looks like a penis.
