All members were invited to participate with Shed. Dave and I said that we would. Where were you? Probably like Ben, twiddling thumbs.

So, now, you take shots at how we rate guys.

If they're going to give some Suspect who's never played a 0.5 because somebody bellyached about it, I can see giving a guy who actually played a 1.5.

You're probably welcome to be on the esteemed panel next year if you ask nicely enough. That way, some other choirboy can make fun of your scores.

It's the way we get through life! We make things up as we go along. Who knows? We could grow up to be POTUS! What a country.

WRONG!!!! He invites two people every year.

Thanks for making it up as you go along....again.

He's not a Suspect, so I have to give him something. I'll give him a 0.5, too.

Possum, this was by far the most popular thread on the old PMB. It would always get us through the winter and had very active participation. The arguments were classic. I'm glad you've come to see the fun in it. It rarely fails to entertain.

The OST. Because there's only so much football you can watch and the SI Swimsuit Edition doesn't come until February and someone took last year's.
