Sign up here: First Debate Tournament of 2008

WOW. I wasn't sure which way that one was going. MemoryShock is a real force. I am honored.

Intrepid - GOOD LUCK!

Congrats to TruthWithin and intrepid...should be a great Final Round.

I'm tempted to root for 'trep merely because I have a grudge against TruthWithin now.......but his performance the entire tourney has been nothing short of spectacular....

I cringed a little when I found that I had to debate you, TruthWithin....just a little...

I would have rather have gone up against semperfortis...

...speaking of which, "Oh semper....I just lost the second closest debate of my career which reminds me of the first closest debate that I lost...."

Rematch Time?

You can have the winner of the Sublime620 v. semperfortis match.

i.e. Good luck against semper.

That was my worst performance to date. Quite a reality check.

We will meet again semper. Same with you MS.

Sublime and MemoryShock -

I used the phrase "Scholars maintain" in my debate with Intrepid! That was a little shout out to you guys!

I didn't define anything as an old, old wooden ship though...DAMN. I will try to do that in the next one!

I don't learn very well....I was the kid who stuck a fork in an electrical outlet, got 'shocked' and then tried a spoon....

What happened when you put a spoon in?

I got shocked....and then I tried a butter knife....

reply to post by MemoryShock

Whoa...

so what happens with the butter knife then?

I got shocked....so then I asked my brother to try the fork...

Oh, good idea. I don't know what a socket is, but it sounds like fun!

Be careful. I got a u2u from MemoryShock and when I opened it I got shocked.

Yeah...my brother got kind of upset. Seems he thought that I knew that would happen to him and blamed me.

But honestly, I had no idea that his experience would be the same as mine...suffice to say, he didn't want to try the spoon...

I still try the fork on different sockets I encounter, you know...like hotels, work environments, and friends homes.

I get shocked everytime....

I am starting to think that this is an inherent reason for the existence of sockets....to shock people....

When in Rome...

and don't send me any U2U bolts. I don't want to get electrocuted.

Even Darwinism leaves room for luck!

The rabid elephant had already charged through five villages when I poked it in the eye....it was tired.

Or something to do with luck...who knows...

Well gang - I just put up my closing statement.

I have been filling up a kiddie pool with beer for just such an occasion. I think I'll go jump in....
