- 65% of the GOP is not only trying to go down with the ship, but punching holes in the life boats. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 07:24 1

        Link? -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:24 13

        I've legitimately never seen anyone obfuscate so hard to get out of a bet. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:30 11
        
        You have that a bit backwards. Mine was rather clear but you want the bet that we will not know the result of for 10 years? Sure. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:32 10
        
        You just accepted a bet while in the same breath explained how you'd cheat your way out of it. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:34 9
        
        I, for one, don't like this bet. I don't want to have to wait until March for whatever obnoxiousness will follow. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 07:43 2

        No need for an argument there. Just offer Spawn simple terms and watch him go. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:42 2
        
        You never really offered any terms! That was why I finally offered you terms last night (which you turned down today). -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:44 1
        
        That's it. You're grounded. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:44
        
        well, I know it is not winning Trials of Osirus strategies. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 15, 07:23 2

      - The front row won't be so bad there because they have the leather recliners. We were in the front row for Peanuts with similar seats and it was fine. -- nm - spamlet Dec 15, 06:57
  - Oh, that's a guarantee. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 06:40 1
    - Well, I hope Carrie has bail money. The boys and I are going and 1 of us may jump - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 06:43
