That changes everything. Well, maybe not everything.

Who's angry?
The guy who alluded to me as a pathetic, smug jerkoff.

That would sort of qualify as cutting and pasting....don't you think?

I better go before someone mistakenly thinks I'm being serious and then decides to use the opportunity to take an idiotic shot.

Oops, too late.

So, then you DO like the idea of my bet? I'm confused here. Where was the mistake on the part of me and the other posters?

You've never made a mistake....save perhaps your recent facebook picture.

Look, the family was breaking my balls for not posting enough shots of myself with the baby. I hate having my picture taken. Hate hate hate. I can't smile on demand. I have a huge head, which limits acceptable angles. And my hairline, even though it stopped receding about 10 years ago, isn't helping matters. It's a sad state of affairs.

Luckily, the baby will inherit her mother's good looks. So she has that going for her.

It won't be as cool to redboard hitting this. Does that count as a reason?

Can't? That's probably not the right word to use, but in a nutshell, and I'll be serious for a second, it's too convoluted. It's actually intellectually kind of interesting, but it's too complicated to garner enough interest to make it work.

I'm not as big on the whole " the industry needs new bets " thing as some people. That doesn't make me right...but it's my opinion. We have interesting bets, sometimes however we hurt them by offering too many options when our handle can't support them, and we end up diluting the handles too much.

Your bet is kind of cool....but it won't fly....in my opinion.

A title of Pathetic, smug jerkoff around here should be a badge of honor... certainly nothing to get defensive about.

I'm seriously considering only posting in the form of Haiku's from now on.
