Obviously the moderators would have to be informed and rules would have to be set to allow the game to start.

Since you have posted here far more than I, I believe you should be the one to approach the moderators. I will glady be bound by any rules set for this contest.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Why talk with the mods? Why not come at it "No Holds Barred", let the consequences fall where they may? Surely you aren't going to let a little intellectual discussion degenerate into inappropriateness... :D ...I mean really. Anyone who is losing so bad that they have to resort to something the mods have to deal with is making it obvious who the real argument's winner is anyways... :D

But I guess anyone with more than A Feeble Brain would probably know this already... ;)

Fair enough Wayward Clam, I accept the challenge, however not the responsibility. I do not wish you to pour your misery down on me, nor do I wish to spoil your goody two shoes image.

I will easily winkle you out of your shell with a plastic spork. You will not be able to provoke me into a rash response.

Although you do not feel the necessity for rules to be in place, I do prefer to keep to certain standards. I offer you the first turn. Lets see what you have in your arsenal.

Yeah, I'll bet you're REALLY interested in my arsenal, aren't you? :D

Nevertheless, I admire your bravado both in squaring off against other Windriver folks and in giving me the clues you have so far.

Let's see... on stage when I want to insult someone I usually resort to a hoedown... but seeing as I know so little about you, it's gonna be fairly tame to begin with. Ah well. The challenge has been fairly made and accepted.

[cheesy hoedown music]
Oh, AFB isn't clear on how this game is played
He talks like it has been a while since he has gotten laid,
He wants to trade some insults, but is too scared of the mods,
So Wayward Clam is out ahead, by twenty-to-one odds!
[/cheesy hoedown music]

:D :D :D

Oh, by the way... *he said sweetly* Have you answered Adept's call to sign in? You definitely count as a player...

LOL,.. this oughta be good. So AFB,.. You gonna post some of your "witty" putdowns, written in your wannabee distinguished proper grammar nonsense? "My dear ol' chap,.. You have the face of a horse tooth jack@$$. Hahaha,.. I just kill myself with my exquisit form of humor. Jeeves, be good and fetch me a cup of water. By lips are parched. Do I remind you of Hannibal Lechter yet with my style of writing?" LOL,.. funny. :rolleyes:

Gee, W.C., where did Miss Prissy AFB go? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Well well, Mr Clam, I see you chose the light weaponry. Lets do a critique shall we?

1. Cheesy hoedown music, yes, that would fit with the Redneck view I have of you.

2. Very true the game is always unclear.

3. Also true

4. Scared, no, respectful yes.

5. Out ahead? I think not, for that you would have had to insult me, that you have not achieved.

While we are about it, I was interested to note Mr Spiff that you are aware what a 3 dollar whore sounds like...Oh yes and I did do the test on maleness, I came out at 86% male and therefore could not be described as prissy.

Webhead, Hannibal Lecter while being a thoroughly despicable human being, has a style to which you could never aspire.

So my turn Mr Clam.

I did a little research and found this interesting nugget..

PACIFIC LITTLENECK CLAM
DID YOU KNOW? A small juvenile clam can use its foot to crawl to new areas.

Apparently the adults are sedentary, so I suggest you crawl to a place of shelter before you become and adult.

I have a simple Rule AFB.. "Never argue with an Idiot, They will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience"

At been an idiot, i have no doubt that you have more experience then everyone here combined. I'm sure you'll soon see that people here have little tolerance for PEBCAK errors. I feel that in your case a well used LART will fix the situation in a short amount of time.

I've gotta give you this one. You have been too busy insulting yourself for me to get a word in edgewise. :D

Well I did a little research of my own.

<a href="http://www.afb.org" target="_blank">www.afb.org</a> is the website of an organization for the blind. Which I guess is the result of your sex life so far...

:D

Oh yeah... you never answered my question, either! Whassa matta, too afraid to let another good clue go? If I'm so stoopid, why should that be a threat to your greatness? :D

P.S. Matridom, and all others who might jump in, just be aware that AFB and I are having a little game here. It is a chivalrous duel of wits. And because he is clearly unarmed, I would like to request that nobody join my side... I mean, really, you only need ONE sledgehammer to kill an ant, right? :D :D :D

Fair enough, I'll stay out of it for now.

P.S. I do think the sledgehammer may be too much, a Fly swatter seems more approriate for some reason.

Oh believe me Clam, you're one your own here. :D

As for you AFB,.. If you knew how to read, you'll notice that the part of the post that I wrote, containing the Hannibal Lechter reference, was still wrapped in quotes. And what was written within those quotes was my impression of your style of posting. Take a second look. I take it observance isn't one of your strong points? :D

Aaah, wonderful, you are warming to the challenge Mr Clam.

Webhead, yes observation is important, I just didn't think it was required in your case.

Matridom, the idea is not to kill, merely to sting, therefore you are correct, a flyswatter is very appropriate.

Again, null point simply because Wayward, art takes time, and this is the ultimate art form.

Light weaponry for a light opponent.

1 point, very good.

I've gotta give you this one. You have been too busy insulting yourself for me to get a word in edgewise.

I have merely been setting the stage for the players, therefore null point.


<a href="http://www.afb.org" target="_blank">www.afb.org</a> is the website of an organization for the blind. Which I guess is the result of your sex life so far...

This was unkind to those who are afflicted with lifes inequities. I will not stoop to those levels, you, however will and that has decreased my respect for you.


Oh yeah... you never answered my question, either! Whassa matta, too afraid to let another good clue go? If I'm so stoopid, why should that be a threat to your greatness?

I did reply. I have never deemed you stupid, I was merely hoping for a match with someone I deemed very worthy, who does not seem to have been online for sometime.

It think it would be useful at this time to point out to the other players that this thread has produced 3 direct clues. Perhaps Mr Clam I could ask you to post in the steam room thread accordingly, otherwise you might be taking an unfair advantage.

Now, to business

I gather you live in the ******* of America, does this mean you get regularly wiped?

I have reviewed some other threads you started, you are a mysogenist by nature?

You seem to keep up with children's television programmes, do you hope that the children's programming will give you a greater vocabulary than you currently possess?

I leave these thoughts with you.
