Enough with words! Let's settle this like real men!

[Tarkus]

Here's my proposal. We first need to set up teams.

Peaceniks:

andy m
astralhaze
Bee
John Galt
NoMyths

Warmongers:

CamEdwards
EaglesFan
Fritz
mrskippy
Tarkus

My suggestion is we find a central locaton, put on the sneeks and settle this whole war/anti-war thing with a five-on-five basketball game! The losers and those associated with them then have to shut up for the remainder of the war against Iraq.

If I have misclassified you, or you don't want to participate just let me know. If others want to join in and we get enough we can move on to a contest of American football. No soccer though, it's just not American.

So what do you think? You ready to put your hoop skills where your mouth is?

Tarkus

P.S. BTW, I mean warmongers in a very positive way! :D

[John Galt]

I may be wrong, but I thought Bee was pro-war. Of course, you may just think he is anti-war because he is RATIONAL.

Is that a yes or a no? Again you don't answer the fricken question! :D

Tarkus

P.S. I may be wrong, but I do believe Bee is anti-war.

John is a lawyer. They never answer questions only ask them and then pretend not to understand what you said.



I'm kidding John. Please don't sue me...

[NoMyths]

lol...if only solving the world's problems could be that easy.
Thanks for the laugh, Tarkus. We should never forget that real people are behind these (sometimes unintelligible to everyside) posts. :)

Not sure that I'd classify myself as a peacenik or anti-war in the ways that we seem to be defining them around here lately, though. Still, my mad skillz would be breaking ankles from here to Baghdad. :D

[detroit_fan]

So who do you get to ref this game?

[NoMyths]

dola...

I'm guarding Fritz. ;)

I am in favor of continuing the war now that we have begun, so I suppose that makes me "pro-war".

Edit: BTW, I seriously doubt anyone would want me on their side if it's a basketball game anyway. ;)

Hey, put me down Tark my man.. PRO-WAR is where it's at.

By the way, your reading a post from a former All-Conference Member of the Flagler College Men's Hoops Team (NAIA).. okay, okay, I was an All-League Bench Warmer, but All-League is All-League. :D But hey, I think I could help make sure the 'Mongers get the job done in this epic FOFC Battle for the Ages..

Let's get this Mo-fo on... :D

[couriers]

I suck at basketball but you can put me down as a warmonger.

[NoMyths]

Er...just had a thought. If this becomes not just kind of a funny post, and turns into a list of "sides" or something, take my name off of it. I don't really have a side.

[astralhaze]

Where will this basketball game be played?

roflmao, Fritz you kill me sometimes. :D

Tarkus

[CamEdwards]

I'm in. And of course, since we'll be having people from all over the country coming to play this game, it should be held in a central location... like Oklahoma City. :)

[CAsterling]

I'll referee, I don't have a clue about the rules of basketball, but I'm neutral about the factions so you can probably get away with all sorts of illegal stuff.

[astralhaze]

Can we use chemical weapons?

No problem, you can replace Bee who said since we're already at war he's supports it. Will that work? :)

Tarkus

[AgPete]

I'll be the middle of the road guy that can find good points on both sides so everyone ends up hating him. In other words, I'll be the ref! :D

[mckerney]

If we be ballin' throw me on the Warmonger team. They look like they could use some help on the boards.


Oh and if it evolves into a football game, put me on the depth chart at either corner or nose guard, I somehow played both back in the HS days of playin football. But none of the flag shit, we go up to Canada or Alaska where we can find a good layer of snow on the ground, put some field markers down and beat the hell outta each other.

I recommend the football game too. Baah! Basketball is for the skinny and fast! Let's play a game where all the out of shape guys can still do some damage with their size. :D Hell, if we fought it out on the football field, we'd probably be too tired to give a damn about Iraq. :)

[Tasan]

Why do I hear the NFL Films guy in my head right now???

"On the frozen tundra of Lambeau field, pro and anti war sides matched off in an epic battle, a battle decided by football."

I thought Fritz would want everyone to dress up like babies and wrestle in creamed corn. ;)

SI

Check your etiquette. For this you would need fezzes and lesueur peas.
