I respectfully disagree. We've just now seen the introduction
of the "diaper insult". This is brand new material and could
conceivably provide several more days of novel ****storm. ;-)


The question of whether blue and red are really the same color could
easily provide years of ****storm...and remember, always check the fuel
gauge before diving over the gunwale into the meniscus to see if hauling
loads the rod...

$1,000,000USD...so there!

$.02,


And, as always, worth every penny and then some.

You got *that* right. :-)

I will further suppose that you haven't deluded yourself into believing
that anything will change as a result of this effort.


That too.

And, while it may be difficult for spectators to tell them apart, you may
rest assured that participants are well aware of which camp they reside
in.


Actually, I believe it's abundantly clear to all but the moles.

You have a fuel gauge on your rod ? Is that a Viagra thing ?


Think how much $$$$ I could save with a two minute egg timer.

Let's face it, Whack-a-Mole is fun, but not for two weeks. Clearly
the Moles will always pop up for more; but I should think the Whacker
would eventually tire of the game. (The respective identities of the
whackers and the whackees are, of course, subjective.:-)


So, I'll offer only a quote variously attributed to Albert Einstein
and Ben Franklin (and likely the work of neither) that:


"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."


If at first you donīt succeed, then try and try again.


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
