This is a reply to Bagel, my breadpunk pal.
The Mariah Carey Challenge, by Bagel
This is a brilliant challenge.
I personally would not do well on this challenge because I live with a person who is a Christmas fanatic, and also this is their favorite song. Could be fun to just keep track of my "score" though each year.
One kind of similar challenge I do every year is The Super Bowl Challenge.
Same concept: come Super Bowl season, see how long you can go without learning who won.
Bonus points of some sort if you can go without learning who even goes to the super bowl.
I've been doing this for a lot of years. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's hard. Like when your city's team goes to the bowl. That one's hard.
Also, people just like writing about the super bowl for no reason.
One year I got spoiled weeks later reading an article about the White Stripes in Rolling Stone and the author said something stupid like, "Jack White sure is having a good time. Much like the Patriots this year!" And I was livid. This article has nothing to do with sports or football whatsoever! To hell with that. I'm still cranky about it.
I would do like bagel did here and list out all the years I played, but I don't want to because I bet there are still some years that I don't know the results of, and I don't want to get spoiled.
