PtF Labs presents: THE PICKSPERIMENT

Episode 6: Ask the Scientologists!

Mark The Hetero Victoria's Secret Employee can fit half-slips with the best of them, but it's only by virtue of one less bye week that he beat out four-year-old Kaylee--a mere 7-7 compared to her 6-7 the week before. Brothers and sisters, we need answers. We need guidance.

And no one likes to tell me they have all the answers more than the Scientologists camped out in front of the mall down the street.

The rest after the jump...

They're a crafty bunch, this lot. There's no overt church signage, no copies of Dianetics out on the table they have set up on the sidewalk, but it's a cardinal rule of survival in L.A.: Never, ever submit to a "free personality test", from anyone.

Of course, in order to get them to agree to pick games for me this week, I had to do just that.

My friendly evaluator's name is "Dale", he doesn't like having his picture taken, and he's agreed to pick one game for every question of the personality test I answer. After giving him a fake name, the email address of a former roommate who stole my most artfully ripped Adam Freeland t-shirt, and the phone number of a fellow sports blogger who needs a little levity in her day, we're off and running. (I don't feel bad about any of this, because no way is this guy named "Dale". No one is named "Dale.") And what "Dale" doesn't know is that I'm basing my answers on his picks, and checking whichever box I think the winning team would appreciate. Draw your own conclusions as to what this says about "Dale", his projected winners (in caps), and the kind of person he's about to think I am (please enjoy question 4):

If my lifeless corpse is discovered before season's end, just ask for Dale. Until next week!

I can get you a clever six-year-old to do some picks, but I don't think that beats a scientologist by any stretch of the imagination.

But will the 6-year-old leave my mangled body in a ditch?

Extra P - sure

He's capable enough, but he's not big enough to drag a dead body yet. So you'd have to be standing in the ditch already.
