LOL at that JVS - McJesus bet.

equivalent of standing outside a public basketball court and waiting for kid with crutches to walk by to challenge him to a game of horse.

I think the 1 year or 1000 post policy idea is good as a rule that can be giving exemptions on a case by case basis. I just didn't want like two white belt accounts coming in here. If a regular poster is fine with doing a wager with someone like that, it usually will get an okay.

A bet over what?

Something like the posts above about Obama staying in office after his term ends. I'm not certain if I'm correct but I thought you have alluded to this being a possibility before.

Whether Obama will still be present a week after the scheduled innaguration.

I don't want it to happen. I don't even say it will happen. I just report on the big predictions. One is that obama stays past his term and the other I heard is that he's the last president. I don't want it and I don't claim it's true. So I don't want to make that bet.

I think it's possible but I don't claim it will happen. Read my post to AC.

Guilty. That's pretty much what it's for, right? Making an even bet for no money is fun if it's a friend, but that's not the point here. People say something really crazy, and you say, "that's not going to happen." I think it'll be a real learning experience for a lot of people. Another kid on crutches--@glennrod--was backing the guy up.

Somehow I don't think a 100% obvious win for you is really going to teach someone like that a lesson. He and others have the ability to twist reality to fit their twisted views. You're just taking virtual candy from a very deranged baby -- if anything, his excuse as to why reality happened instead of his wrapped alternative should be entertaining.

But, no lessons will be learned on his behalf

Fair enough. Just thought it'd throw the offer out there

If this was a fantasy football league -- you as commissioner just okayed a Big Ben for Matt Cassel trade

I was in a fantasy football league once where I got my Korean friend to give me AP and another two players for Hines ward. People were pissed

If I were the commissioner, I would be saying if things don't change, no league will exist. I would also change the three pump rule to four.
 
Also, does Jack strike you as Big Ben in that comparison? I would've went with a Brady or Flacco there

Yea, it was such a robbery. Shame on him though for applying my value to ward though cause of his heritage.

Yea, I just know how wild and irrational Ben gets so it immediately made me go uhhh. We could be up 14 points and Ben will start throwing wreckless picks just cause he feels like it

I thought I was the one that just won't let go, and yet I can show you time and again coming back to post with 3 or more days between posts. Seems you forgot what you posted again. Men =soldiers, lie = half truth. Seems to be a pattern here.
Click to expand...

uh...... yeah. I have a life outside of sherdog. Here is another example of a three or four day gap between posts. You quoted me, so I replied. You got me. I've been outed. And yes, the pattern is that I've been consistently right, your pattern is arguing with the English language and lying. (You're still doing it)

Cool, I'm glad everyone here now knows that you are the one who won't let this go, Mr liar and coward.

Hey but please tell us all some more about how the word men actually means soldier. I want to hear more about this.

This is me replying to your comment. See the definiton I posted with about 7 citations of its usages directly meaning "soldier".

Yeah I get that, but I want you to continue making that argument because it shows what a liar you are.

@HendoRuaGOAT

You two might just wanna stick a fork in it. I don't think either of you are going to agree on even the most basic premises with that discussion at this point. With that said though, maybe you could find something to bet on here with current events or the election? Wagers are a good way to end a beef (or birth a rivalry!)

I'm good man. I don't like how Jack debates, and never have, but minus our spat we had recently we get along well enough, I don't tend to hold grudges here, as I don't tend to think the interwebz are that serious of bizness.

I will always read lfd's posts with a grain of salt from here on out, but you won't find me looking for conflict with him. Their is of course the chance that we have just been speaking past each other the entire time here.

As I told Jack recently, this is a older and more mature version of Pimptight. I can get quite abrasive with people on here if I don't like the way they are debating, but outside of that it isn't personal, it is a chess board.
