Although, I suppose you could interpret "shorten" to mean that the clock just keeps running. That would definitely shorten the game.

Thank you for the "short" lesson. You obviously are an expert.

Are you insinuating something here JR? I do notice that ScrappeyDoo showed the same time some annoying little fellow disappeared. Of course so did Old School.

Well, Scrappy hasn't handed out any spelling/grammar lessons yet, so I'm sure that the resemblance is stictly co-incidental.
