    Actually some of the founding fathers left and started their own practice. We're currently down from our previous highs. However your comments would be correct assuming (and rightly so) that more than one is indeed too many.

    Welcome Copewithus.

      My dad was a great Southern storyteller--a prince of his craft. There was a certain truthiness to any story he told, but ultimately--like the ending of Life of Pi--it didn't matter if it were true; it was better the way he told it and his life was not unlike the pater familas of Tim Burton's Big Fish movie. Take the story my dad told, and divide it by 3.14 or by 7 and you'd find the truth, the boring truth. Prince famously sang that "one day all 7 will die," a great song, but not one included on his masterpiece soundtrack for Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film--the track "Batdance" being my favorite from that disc, especially the tempo switch at about 2:45 in when it becomes a funk song for a little while. Though currently playing a buffa version of himself on Family Guy, Adam West will always be Batman. There's no way out of that for him. Though often attacked by better known villains, Batman had to fight against Walter Slezak's Clock King in a couple of episodes. One of his weapons was 'knock out gas,' something else my father was a prince at. Slezak left us in 1983, but seventeen years prior, he played Dr. Coppelius (note the two p's, please) in the Spanish film, El fantástico mundo del doctor Copellius. In the ballet, Dr. Coppelius notices that only death will pay for life (a lesson Khal Drogo's missus learned the hard way), so he plots to sacrifice someone to bring Cappelia to life. While humanity spend billions researching how to bring dolls to life for more prurient purposes, if you could bring any fictional character to life for something not involving the exchange of body fluids, which one would it be, and why?
      I particularly like the flow of this question waup. Well done sir.

        I concur. Maybe his best ever?

        Waup is making a intellectual/emotional comeback, perhaps bringing his fictional waup back to life. I think he's El Fantastico himself.

          wuap's stream of consciousness was appropriately encapsulated entirely within one paragraph. It just wouldn't have had the same power otherwise.

                I liked this part best.

                  I keep hoping DDD will return and introduce himself again. I lurk here less with each furthered realisation that he shan't return. Where is the lad?

                    Welcome Copelius. I will not let your loyalty to the Yankees sully my opinion of you.

                    Yet.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I was a Lakers fan for as long as I can remember. My dad used to buy those caricature shirts for me they'd sell on the streets. I wore the crap out of my back to back one.

                      Somewhere, I still have the LA Classic Six Pack caricature shirt with Riley, Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Scott, and Coop (IIRC) in a six-pack beer bottle carton. I'm sure that shirt would be banned in many public schools these days. In any case, welcome aboard, Copelius.

                        I bet that is worth money. I saw someone trying to get $95 for the back to back shirt I linked above.

                          That's not bad. Unfortunately, mine has a big tear in it. I only kept it because I still want the picture, which I think is in really good shape. The other one I kept was the Bird & Magic "together at last" Dream Team shirt. It's pretty well worn though.
