And folks, I have something else on my mind -- the SpeakEasy. As some of you might know, I had really hoped to be able to participate in the SE the last time a friend nominated me for admission. I was genuinely hurt when things didn't break my way, and a couple of people mentioned offhandedly that the vote was very close. I'm sure they meant to help.
Wait a minute. There's a SpeakEasy?
"Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
... I still have an occasional fight with Babs, which always perplexes me. I wish those would never happen, but apparently our personalities make it inevitable. Sparks in the tinder.
In fairness to you Robin, I think we have all had some nasty drag down knock out fights with Babs.
If my friends want me to participate in the SE, and if neutral parties don't object, then I will be happy to participate.
Umm, isn't a neutral party by definition one that doesn't object, but doesn't affirm either? So, saying "if neutral parties don't object" is like saying "if the sun rises in the East". As soon as a party either objects or affirms they are no longer neutral now are they?

Nailed me! Maybe IPU is referring to my rhetorical skills when he calls me a 'cancer.' Like Samuel the Lamanite on the wall, "People of CUF! Robin's post hoc arguments and hasty generalizations are a cancer that we can not abide! He continually confuses cause with effect, and surely lives on a diet of red herrings and straw men. To accept him as part of the CUF family would be one slippery slope... DOH!"
I'm interested, and so is Little Robin, but playing D&D requires willing friends, and Little Robin's friends are way too cool for D&D. Maybe once we move out of the 'hood we will find kids who are sufficiently nerdy.
