As long as some of the answers are on point, I think some tangential
responses are a good thing. Maybe one of them is the answer to the
question that should have been asked.

Well I personally like Fred's posting style. If I need a laugh, I'll
look down the list 'til I find a Fred post and read it first. But lately
he's been so... serious. Come back, Fred.

I think he should buy the Diamond.

yourself !!! As far as your question, I think you know that 50% of the posters
have something to gain from trying to push people toward another option, and
the other 40% just don't like or have an opinion about the choices given. I
think it's fine to give an alternate opinion especially when you may have
knowledge about other items that are close to the choices given.
JIM<-----Thinks Neither is best, and you should always spend more.
PS the missing 10% are the Boobs from RSB trying to start some shit, and toss
around a few insults.

What I see happen a lot with the "X vs. Y" thread is that the first
response is a "try brand Z". Then all hell breaks loose with a 200 post
discussion on Brand Z and why Bob Meucci's got an Iron Willie up his
ASPhole.
No hope about it. This helped ;-)

I think I may have it. I know that you and I were both impressed with
Allison and Gerda's play in Valley Forge, but, of course, WE could wax
their asses (not so fast-hear me out, I'm getting to the how part...).
I know Allison is doing this challenge with Grady Mathews thing, but I
say we challenge her and her roommate to a match with men more their own
age. Somehow we bring the thread up, and CALL THEM OUT PUBLICLY! I
will personally guarantee that you and I can beat Gerda and Allison in a
Scotch Doubles race to 9. I say if they beat us we pay for dinner for
the 4 of us at any restaurant they choose (if we win, it can be any
restaurant WE choose). Maybe we can really humble ourselves and throw
in full-body massages, who knows? Now how do we get them to bite?
BTW this is a variation of the old "I'll bet you a dollar I can kiss
you without touching you" routine that I used to great effect in Junior
High.

I say the cinch to this date, er challenge is, after they accept, you
team up with Gerda, Fred teams with Allison (you did say Scotch Doubles,
right?), and the game is afoot. Just where would the loss be, hmm?
I know. Fred will insist that this is "Mixed" Scotch Doubles, but here
in the Wild West, we don't need that kind of clarification. We KNOW S-D
is a M-F teamup.

Lot's of drinks.

You have piqued my interest. Wax....

Side note: I don't know if it's common knowledge, but their
birthdates are finally publicized.

Would that be my version of Scotch Doubles, or would that be MCC's
version? Either is fine by me. 'Nuther Side Note. If Scotch Doubles
is always a mixed affair, what do we call alternating shots with
"unmixed" pairs.

This is a wonderful proposition. How could they resist. In fact, I'm
sure they're reading this right now and chomping at the...bit to get
at us. Is that the phone ringing? Or is it the alarm clock?
>Now how do we get them to bite?
That's easy. I'll bite one of them first.
Hope this helps ;-)

Scotch doubles does not require that the partners be of opposite sex.
Mixed scotch doubles requires that the partners are of opposite sex.

are available. If you look at the Ad on page 31 of the April Billiards
Digest you will notice a RING on Gerda's left ring finger and if you
then turn to page 57,check out Allison's left ring finger.
Apparently,they are both married to someone,but I don't have a
clue......... Anyone ? Anyone at all? Anyone?
Mr. Spicolli ? Anyone?

Just a guess here. Gerda is married to Mr. Hoffstetter and Alison is
married to Mr. Fisher.

believe they are roomy's in Charlotte. I've noticed they both sometimes
wear rings, and it may even be the same ring. Maybe it's just to fend off
the assholes they run into out there.
