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

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

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...

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

So who do you get to ref this game?

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. ;)

Saddam and GW. :D

Tarkus

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

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

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.

Where will this basketball game be played?

Come on, my body's round too! :D

Tarkus

Flag football and I'm in!

4.43 in the 40, 6-2. Heh

Hey, how old are ya? My Jets could use a guy like you! :D

Tarkus

roflmao, Fritz you kill me sometimes. :D

Tarkus

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. :)

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.

Can we use chemical weapons?

I'm 20!

I'm on the phone with Bradway as we speak.

Tarkus

lol Fritz

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

HEY what about me?!?!?!;)

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

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

Tarkus

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

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.

*smooch*

:D

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. :)

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."

Someone from Switzerland :D

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.
