You do that, I ran it by Captain Morgan. He agreed with me.

Why not? It'll be at least as credible as the result of this poll. Maybe even more so.

Wow, this is coming from someone that, in all seriousness, suggested that a poll would be the best solution.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell 'ya.

Adam Fri May 21, 2010 02:33pm

I'm hurt by the lack of gravitas being given to this poll.
I've never seen a poll get evenly split like this, even early on. Maybe it'll stay even?

Thats what being an offiicial is all about isnt it? At least that is what I always hear the coaches and fans say "Keep it even". Of course some slip me an extra $100 to "keep it fair":cool:

If it does, will we have to do a run-off poll, or somethin'?

Judtech Fri May 21, 2010 02:40pm

OT - Poll. I just hope our Florida board members take time to read the ballot and firmly click on their answers!!!

That's sounds splendid.

There might be a Jeremy, though.

Are we asking about the move at the top of the key, or the "jump stop" in the paint?

I asked this in the other thread...

My answers are "maybe, can't quite tell" and "no".

By Ancient One, you mean Mark Padgett, because I am the Bald Old Geezer. I just refer to the Ancient Days of Basketball when everything was good and right in the world, :D.

Well that is a relief.

MTD, Sr.


P.S.: You are correct, Jurassic Refere is far older than Mark and I, and uglier too, :D.

BillyMac Sat May 22, 2010 01:03pm

Much Older ...

I have no idea what he looks like. I just assumed he looked like a fossile.

BillyMac Sat May 22, 2010 01:14pm

It Can't Be Too Far Off ???

I don't know either, but every time I see his screen name, I think of this:

As an academically trained geologist, it really bugs me that Tyrannosaurus rex is, because of the movie, associated with the Jurassic Period. Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the Cretaceous Period, approximately sixty-eight to sixty-five million years ago. About an eighty million year error. The movie should have been called Mesozoic Park. I will now get off my geologist soapbox and return you to your regularly scheduled Forum posts.

Judtech Sat May 22, 2010 02:25pm

Based on that chart the Civil War/War of Northern Aggression started a whole lot earlier than I was taught. Who knew that the Pennsylvanians and Mississippians have been around that long!!! And you thought the Hatfields and McCoy's held grudges!

I can completely understand your frustration.

Wow!
