ami with an i: An Explaination of Today's NCAA Picks -- March 21st, midwest bracket -
I know nothing about basketball. And yet every year for the past seven years, I’ve participated in an NCAA pool. I make my decisions based on mascot vs mascot match ups. Some people this this is easy: bear would beat ram, etc. It’s actually quite complicated.
Here are some of the ground rules:

This might be the most enticing book description I’ve ever read:
The plot of the manga centers around Kaiman, who does not remember who he was before he was transfigured by a Magic user. This transformation left him with a reptile’s head, and a desire to find out the truth about who he really is. Accompanied by Nikaido, his female companion, he tracks down Magic Users in The Hole and unceremoniously chomps down on their head, hoping to find out who it was that put him in this state. One by one, they witness this “second man” inside the head of Kaiman, and after pulling them back out of his mouth he asks them all the same question…
“What did the guy inside my mouth say?”
As he begins to move the body into the refrigerator, he breaks into a wrenching spasm of coughing. Gittes spots the other body, lowers the. sheet on Mulwray. GITTES (picking up on cough) -- Yeah -- so who you got there? Morty pulls back the sheet. MORTY Leroy Shuhardt, local drunk -- used to hang around Ferguson's Alley -- Morty brushes some sand from the man's face, laughs. MORTY (continuing) -- Quite a character. Lately he'd been living

Gus is Luke Skywalker. Mike is R2D2. Jesse is C3PO. Don Eladio is Jabba the Hut. Minions are minions and Han Solo/Princess Leia are uh… the drug market.
So Gus walks into Don Eladio’s lair, seemingly unarmed. He brings with him a gift (Jesse) which he uses to bargain with Don Eladio. Don Eladio drops Gus into a trap - the pool party. Mike then pulls our Gustauvo’s secret weapon, the poisoned tequila which turns the tables leading to a battle, their triumph and escape.
I’m going to miss Gus.
