If you clasify posting on this forum as speaking in public places, then I would gladly make a contribution to that fund.

SJ are you as sharp as a razor or as dull as a breadknife ? Your voluminous answer speaks volumes about your lack of cultural referents. The reference which you missed was to the expression "you cant beat a dead horse" which is a rather subtle hint if you think about that a while.

Define transparent in your own words. Do not use circular definitions. As you use each word, reference the definitions it pulls. You may find yourself in somewhat of a quandry.....

Do the same for putting.

No more hints for a while.

Week one. Starts soon.

Alt refs

But oh well its football.

Here is something bad

Big sports news in Canada was the highlights of hockey scrimmage games ( olympic team)

Is that sad. Or is it sad that I watched it twice.

And on other fronts

We finally get Fox World sports .....

So now I can watch some more liverpool games ( ha ya right. Fox only shows Man United)
