I will punch your face off of your face.

Is this before or after The Best Damn Band in the Land moonwalks all over your face?

You were too much of a ***** to accept a bet. I'd even let you set a range of seats lost.

Oh blah, you invented a stupidly rigid set of rules that basically meant that barring a freak miracle, you were going to win. Man up and accept a simple 'seats gained' bet like Guy did, or hush already.

FFS, it's Welshing on a bet! Not Welching on a bet you morons.

[giblets]

Well I'm not going to insult people who welch on bets by comparing them to MOBIUS.

Your defensive backfield is weak. Gallon and Funchess are going to score a billion points each.

That's racist!

[DinoDoc]

That's racist!

Welsh aren't people.

But are they an ethnicity?

I don't even know what avatar I could give him anyway, if it was Ben or DD or someone I could have fun with it, but Guy's just so damn... reasonable.

Here are some options...

I'm not so concerned about those kids (aside from BK molesting them). Learning is a life-long process. Aside from BK maybe, who formed their life-long conclusions about such things when they were in 2nd grade? I had lots of terrible teachers who I remember as such. BK will just be another failure they remember and laugh about years later

Yawn. Yeah, like I was a Catholic from day one. Did I mention today that I'm a convert? Seriously Sava.

In any case, I teach to give them what they need for the future. Do you really think the stuff I rant on about here is what I teach? I don't believe we cover the Kings of England at all in my course, as they aren't at all relevant to Texas. Spain, on the other hand is relevant so I do a bit about them.

Edit, going over - I have a unit on exploration, giving the students and idea of the big names who colonized north america - at least this part of it, where they were from, and a little bit about the Kings and Queens at the time. So quite a bit on Ferdinand and Isabella, on Columbus, on Magellan. Some on the constituent parts of Spain (Andalusia, Catalonia, etc). This stuff is actually relevant because it helps them understand where are these 'strange' names are coming from. Prince Henry the Navigator and Portugal, Vasco Da Gama, some on the seige of Byzantium and on Trebizond. Some on Venice and Genoa.

Then we get into Texas, and the Spanish exploration here.

Don't believe I teach it. It gets covered well in other courses.

I think there is plenty of intelectual dishonesty in both camps. As an example, Fun just went on about how none of his posts should be taken seriously (clown nose on) and then continues in a spirited defense as to why his posts should be taken seriously.

It's really simple, Ogie. It's ok to be intellectually dishonest if you support homosexuality. It's a get out of jail free card. Call someone a N*gger? It's ok, I'm gay, I was just kidding.

And you know what, it works, like a charm. Fun just established that slurs are perfectly ok to use here, provided you support gay rights.
