Shrimpadamus Makes His Super Bowl Prediction!

This morning, I took it upon myself to facilitate the services of Shrimpadamus the Psychic Ghost Shrimp; as a small treat for my friends of the AGM community.

"SD" is a future predicting fresh/brackish water ghost shrimp and has been regarded as unmistakingly accurate in his predictions. In fact, he has never been wrong in predicting the outcomes of national sporting events.

He is a pet ghost shrimp of mine - a creature normally relegated as food for larger, more expensive (read: prettier) fish; but due to Shrimpadamus' special skills, he was spared and given prestigious training to broaden his talent.

He is mostly clear in color (is clear a color?) about an inch long and can predict the future by choosing between two separate objects. Again, let me reiterate that his predictions have been astounding and amazing.





Predicting the Super Bowl:

To represent the New York Giants, I used a miniature Statue of Liberty. Seemed logical.


To represent the New England Patriots, I used a pile of Plecostamus' (another aquarium fish that is a bottom feeder in the tank) shit. Fitting.


And here is proof of my findings:

Shrimpadamus chooses NEW YORK GIANTS!   Keep in mind that Plecostamus shit aids in the growth of microscopic creatures that the shrimp normally thrive on... so the pile of shit was definitely favored. (photo by Manny Stiles for AGM)

Shrimpadamus' Prediction

New York Giants over the Patriots. Shrimpadamus did not provide a final score, however he did subsequently explain that the game was going to end in Overtime!

Amazing!

I highly doubt that a blowout is going to go in either direction. I see a touchdown to 10 points tops.

This is the most accurate prediction method I have ever seen. Good job Manny. Shrimpadamus knows more about football than all the people on ESPN combined. Can I buy Shrimpadamus from you?

For a million dollars, you could buy a shrimp farm and have as many as you want. They breed like mosquitos! Since I'm in a good mood, I'll cut you a break. I'll give you Shrimpadamus for only $990,000. Take it or leave it.

Now the Giants have a fish and a Camel predicting they'll win, How can they lose? For those of you who have a life and don't listen to MIKE & MIKE on ESPN, They mentioned a Camel picking the G-men.

You should look into getting Shrimpadamus to reproduce. You can dedicate the offspring to different sports. Then find yourself a sports book and take over the world!!

Where are you gonna get a bunch of tiny cameras and teleprompters??? (However, you did just open up a door in the Idea Room of my cerebrum!)

You do realize that shrimp are essentially Waterworld's version of a unholy hybrid of Landworld's cockroach and Airworld's horsefly?

Shrimp basically eat the stuff that grows on shit. But they are more fun to watch than cockroaches...

I enjoy them and have many varieties as well as crays. Too bad Carl Crawfish doesn't make predictions!

And don't be misled, Ghost Shrimp can be VISCIOUS!!!

You don't need tiny everything. Just maybe a tiny control panel that controls the camera's, teleprompters and all that other fun stuff.


On a side note, do you think if we threw Pacman Jones in a huge tub of water with a bunch of shrimp they would eat him alive??

If hea was already dead and rotting, they would pick him clean in no time. But they wouldn't kill him.

Is it possible that Shrimpadamus was trying to pick the Pats? Think about it, you used shit to represent the Pats, but the Giants play in New Jersey, so confusion is inevitable. Then you used a PATRIOTic symbol for the Giants. Maybe Shrimpadamus was thinking "shitty place or Patriotism" and went for Lady Liberty.

Maybe you should just be happy that it will go to Overtime, so you don't have to make as many excuses to explain away the "Dynasty" not materializing...

Have you ever been to Liberty Island? Why the hell it, Ellis Island and Staten Island aren't REALLY part of New Jersey is befuddling (Or why all of North Jersey doesn't get annexed by NYC) to me...

Nice try, but the New England Plecostamus Shits are going down!!!

I thought Liberty Island was part of Jersey. Ellis and Staten really should be part of NJ. Long Island and the Bronx should be part of Connecticut.

Yeah, everything downriver of Manhattan may as well just call itself Jersey. Long Island should be it's own state (Hello, tax hike!) and considered part of "New England".
