This is nonsense and it needs to stop. The last post no longer wins. This is a rule change by the committee MUST READ The rules changes that took effect on July 26 got an immediate test during the three minutes. Last post championships during the month of this year. As promised, on the basis of that experience, the guy who will win is hereby offering more definitive rules interpretations for all member forum ninnies, nancy boys, and others, including anyone reading. (We are asking forum ninnies, nancy boys, and others, including anyone reading to spread the word to referees, posters, and delegates as quickly as possible). We are pleased to report that the transition to the new rules was generally very easy and successful. As on previous occasions, the concerns that had been expressed about a quick and consistent adaptation turned out to be unwarranted. However, the following points are worth noting: 1. The game is now ended with a post keeper-type, if the opponents have interfered in the post area. Post keepers have already started adapting and are instinctively typing the document from within post area, often starting a quick counterattack or at least gaining an advantage, precisely as was intended with this rules change. The key is to have the referee help remind the post keeper by making the hand signal for post keeper-type in a very visible and emphatic way. (The signal for entering the post-area is virtually never necessary). By contrast, if the referee decision is a free-type, e.g., for an offensive quip inside or outside the post area, then the referee should clearly signal for a free-type and support this by pointing to the correct location declaring X. Benedict the winner. 2. The new regulations for a free-type after the expiration of posting time as of now occasionally caused some confusion. For the most part, the typing addicts reacted correctly, with only one poster coming forward, ready to take the free-type. The said competitors should encourage this quick execution, as this is the best way of avoiding other problems. The defending posters sometimes had misunderstood the change and thought that also they were entitled to substitute or add one more post (or a short postin the defense than ran off from the forum out of old habit). The bleeding grannies, losers, and assmites must be more firmly instructed, and the said competitors must pay attention in the hope that they can prevent such an incorrect and punishable action. Therefore this is silly and the last post.

I wonder if the Bills have the perspective that he needs about a year's worth of muscle and weight to add.

Tenants Wanted Standard pronunciation of English verbs in all conjugations preferred. $1100 per month, utilities not included/nonsmoking/pets okay.

"men of god"?

cool.

George Carlin, RIP.

That's rhetoric, move there because you'll get the biggest bang for your Federal Income Tax.

Freedom? Texas is the state that is probably the most dependent on the Federal government tit.

I agree, it is unlikely the Congress will pass anything that can be overturned on 10th amendment grounds.

How about returning punts for the league min?

It's a dog eat dog world.

Be excellent my friends!

Just American Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Thanks for supporting me on this one.

Just remember that your standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles per hour....... Can we have your kidney.....?

Classlessness is not recognizing the winner. Now we can let this matter rest.

Chaucer would mix it up. He used both.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodles...lotsa noooooooooooooooooooooooooooodles.

Are you bouncing them because they are speaking Old English or Ebonics?

If I'm above your last post I'm still the last poster poser.

We don't punch our brothers every time we are drunk. Just sometimes.

Texas can turn a boy into a fine baserunner.

Or how about this....40 strangers walk laps on your semi-enclosed front porch with the hope they can see you do this. It is public space after all. And don't shout "get lost you malicious nutjobs" beyond your front door because this is unprotected speech and publicly tumultuous behavior.

My assumption would be that the State would need to prove that a particular porch was public space to prosecute this. But if you have a clearly established law on hand, I'd love to see that.

Unfortunate, but ... Is it any different for Gates? Without this arrest using the power of the State, the things Gates said tired and in anger in his own kitchen/home/porch would have remained private. My bet would be Gates never jumps from PBS to CBS after this.
