Now you are resorting to "Ad Hominim" attacks! :'( You know that I hold the institutions of this great nation dear to my heart. To so wantonly, maliciously use my own arguments and ideas against me is utterly unforgiveable. 😠 Please reconsider your insinuations and slander.😞😉

1) the hurdles
2) the triple jump
3) the marathon (when the contenders get too tired, stagger a bit, and fall down; or trip over.

Bryan, you lose several hundred points for not realizing all of this.
Ahh Hah! You have obviously never seen Silly Walking at the level I'm referring to. It ranks up there with the toughest Aerobics out there in the number of calories burned per mile... This proposition is at least worth a few points... hey, wait a minute! You're not the scorer. That should be -600 points for you for overstepping you authority. 😛

This was an honest proposition! How dare you think that I would take something as important to the future health of our nation as Silly Walking as a joke. 😉 But I dare say I will defend my idea vigorously and I warn all who attack that I am a 8th Degree Black Sole in the Art of Silly Walking!!

Acolyte, here's another proposition:

You can't count. You chose to abbreviate "chessnut" as CN, but did not abbreviate the longer "thepunter". What gives 😛?

All right, I'll maintain the topic. Here's an airtight logical argument 😛

1. Today I drove a car for the second time.

2. Both times I have driven a car, I have not been drunk.

3. Nor have I been hanged.

4. You're not allowed to know which position I support.

Acolyte, do I get 382 points and the Ridiculous Locution Award 😉?
Hold on there! Not so fast... Consider this question from the audience that I got after addressing a conference on UFO's recently...

A ladie arose from the audience and asked...

"If a flying saucer didn't crash at Roswell, why won't the government release the information? Why won't they show us photos to prove there were no aliens there?"

I immediatly whipped out of my pocket a stack of ten pictures of no aliens and handed them to her. 😞 Take that, Lady!😠

Ah - but I have, remember we just consumed the Ministry of Silly Things (and I contend a walk is a kind of abstract thing - at least that's what their lawyers told us..).

ok - you can have 2 points, now back to your Aerobics 😛

I object!! Chewie hasn't picked a proposition let alone effectively argued one! 😉 Besides there isn't an argument more pointless than my proposal! I vote for another counting of the Hanging Chads I must have more points than this!

How do you know that alcohol doesn't affect aliens? Eh?

And how can we get the into prison if they can just teleport straight out again? Answer that, smart guy!

Yes he very well can count! He obviously knows what he is doing as he put Me above You in the scoring...😉

I concur, in fact, if one assumes the "ancient astronaut" theory, it is easy to infer that distilleries are essentially extraterrestrial constructs.

Yes I did, your honor! I only argued with you because you have nice chads and do Aerobics 😵

Remember, you are allowed to make donations to the two players (chewie and SVW), except for RC, as his score is negative and that would be unfair.

Does that mean that all barmaids are aliens?

Hold on there... it's not just aerobics it's a form of self defense. You know that form Caparanga(?) that looks like dancing? BAH! It's got nothing on the art of Silly Walking! There is no form of self defense out there that's as effective as this and I know for a fact!

How about 10pts? 😉
