I voted pool but that is second to snooker. Honestly there is no competition from any of the others for me.

"Jude, do you know why the Cowboys' stadium has a hole in the roof?"
I had no idea where this was going but went along and said, "no".
"So God can watch his team play."

I didn't realize the forum was supposed to be a fantasy world...but to each his own.
Does the truth offend you?
As for Peer's definition of "honor" he is the authority on what he meant but take a look at what he POSTED:
"Well, you see the options -- cast your vote according to your conscience."
The implication is clear that he meant honor vs. dishonor (which is where conscience comes in) and not honor in the sense of winning an award where conscience is not a factor.
But I'll tell ya what. Please let me know whenever you enter your fantasy world regarding any given thread and I'll do my best not to pop your pink bubble.
And GEEZ yourself.

EDIT...I draw your attention to your exchange in the "Shame on You" thread:

I am sorry, I don't think it is depressing or sad. You said it correctly, it is. The rest of the world doesn't have to love what we do. It is there for us. Let it be!!

Do you suffer from mood swings in addition to your excursions into fantasy worlds? I genuinely sympathize with you if that is true and hope that you will seek help
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Willie Mays excelled in all 5 things you want a non pitcher to do: hit, hit with power, run, throw and field.Mickey Mantle could do the same things in the 50s, but, nagging injuries affected his running in the 60sJude Rosenstock said:Okay, seriously.

DeadPoked said:You are quite the sensitive little twit, aren't you? lodini was merely pointing out that you injected your usual negative posts in an otherwise very enjoyable thread.
And yeah, you completely misunderstood the whole point of the thread.

It's tough up there in the bigs. They violate rules intentionally and are trained on how to get away with it. Pitchers don't mind throwing at your head with possibly serious harm as a result.
Defensive linemen wouldn't mind at all putting the opposing QB out for the game, the season for the career for that matter and would be cheered wildly by their fans if they did. (of course, those fans would applaud politely has the guy gets rolled off in a stretcher.
I'm not complaining about the above and am a major sports fan, sports fans...just tellin' it like it is.

What's the BIG DEAL? Don't you know that what I posted is exactly true or are you just STUPID?
And no, I didn't misunderstand the the whole purpose of the thread.
And no, my "usual' posts are not "negative"...only those in response to negative posts directed to me by snotty little twerps like you.
But THANKS for posting your self-portrait. Very enlightening.

Jude Rosenstock said:I mean, take it for what it's worth but Lodini is a personal friend of mine. She's a real sweetheart, very intelligent woman who loves being around the game. I really am astounded that such language would surround her posts even if you didn't actually direct that language at her.
Perhaps this has gone a little too far? Seriously, if you knew her, you'd take back everything you said.
