Ah hah. You've hit the nail on the head. I live in the land of the nearly dead and the dearly mulletted (Florida). It's the old \"can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees\" syndrome. Lou doesn't know he's senile. Everyone around him is too polite to let him know. It's like at work, when someone is asking me why we don't carry cottage cheese and I say \"Sir, it's right in front of you..\" Lou does the same thing. \"The Cocks will upset the Dawgs this year...the Cocks will upset the Dawgs this year...\" \"No sir,\" says I, \"the Cocks suck...er..well, I'm sure you know.\" Of course, eventually, he'll be right, but he'll also be dead and THAT will be the spookiest part of his prediction THAT year. Man, I gotta switch to decaf.
