The Balki System

Balki and Larry seemed to have proved their point with a successful season using "The Balki System". They took the playoffs off because frankly, Larry didn't want to jinx the Bears chances being a good Chicagoan and all. However, now they've made it to Super Bowl XLI (That's 41 for all you non-Romans, but when in Rome... or the NFL...)

It's inching closer to game time and the crudité is just about be broken into here at the Balki System Super Bowl Bash. However, Larry and Balki have yet to make their final pick...Let's listen in as they deliberate.

Balki: Cosin' isn't this so exciting. The Bears of Chicago have made it the Super Cup... I want to do the dance of joy!

Larry: Balki, it's the Super Bowl and it is exciting but this is a tough matchup. The Bears are no shoe-in to win.

Balki: Don't be ridiculous, whoever though of putting a shoe in a bowl...

Larry: That's not what I mean. They're not guaranteed to win. Sure they've got good defense, but Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and Rex Grossman, not so much.

Balki: Relax...Cosin...we never let any that bother us before. We just pick based on mascots, remember.

Larry: You're right Balki, and not many things can beat a Bear. Yeah but a Colt....hmmm.

Balki: Yes, I think maybe a Colt might beat a bear. All a Colts has to do to beat Bear is just get a running start and then stomp right over it. It would be over. No time for the Bear to rip it's limbs off.

Larry: Interesting point, Balki but if they're standing head to head...

Balki: No Cosin...I still the the Colt gets on his legs and punch our Bears right in the nose?

Larry: I think you're right...there's no way around it....plus a Colt is a type of gun.

Balki: Do you know how many bears are shot a year in Mypos.

Larry: Not sure Balki, a lot?

Balki: You bet your bibby bobka.

Larry: So I guess we're going to have to go with the Colts.

Balki: Yes, Cosin' Lari.

Larry: Well, I hope we're wrong...GO BEARS!!!

Balki: Even if we lose, we will do the dance of joy for a yob well done.

Larry: Balki, you bet your bibby bobka.
