There were. It's just it wasn't much. -5

In Rich's defense, it was indeed a laser beam that got him. One of the hottest shots I've ever seen. It was literally off the bat and up against Rich's derriere in the blink of an eye. He had time to...

I agree that your logic is quite sound, Bob. However, it is this same rule that tells us, "After the umpire calls "Play" the ball is alive and in play . . ."
Well, we know that's not true. It's...

Re: Your theatre training shows.....
Talk about theatrics, that was quite an exit, Garth. It had a touch of Mamet, a dash of Tennessee Williams, and just the tiniest sprinkling of Moliere sarcasm.
No Thornton Wilder in you, that's...

Dear Garth,
You have called me a liar roughly 8 times in this one thread. I <b>implied</b> you were a liar once about two years ago and you threw a big hissy fit, took your ball, and went home. It...

I did not lie. I simply used the IDENTICAL reasoning that you have used. If it's a new low, it's one you sank to first.

One's argument is awfully weak when absurd situations are needed to prove one's point. Common sense should not need to be defended with third world situations.

Fact is, this can only occur in one situation - when the...
