> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lynn Bodoni \* > Coldfire was repeatedly called a “Dutch gnome” by peace. Really? I missed that. Why that shows more pinache than I realized the drooling moron had. Of course were it accurate, Coldfire would be well advised to avoid Belgium and Northern France. (Although frankly I would see Coldfire as more a early Trotskyite moderator since he lacks the Khmer Rouge touch. Perhaps Manhattan is more the Khmer Rouge sort.) ---

After buying an eggcrate mattress pad and some Slim Jims for my overjoyed cousin today,and witnessing the the protestations over my resignation,I’m rethinking things. Is that person who wants to drop the top a guy or a girl? ---

It sucks to tearfully or defiantly declare you’re leaving and then slink back, don’t it? (So saith I, the voice of experience.) It’s a long, cold walk back, and you may find that the old folks have _not_ left a light on for you. Better spit those crow feathers out before you post again; we wouldn’t want you to choke. 😉 ---

Jodi - I ain’t going to ‘slink’ back for anybody. If I choose to depart knowledge to you it will be to your advantage.The old folks light on TSD shines dimly,or haven’t you noticed…idiot? ---

No, I think Boozer will really have to come up with a big game to ensure a Duke win. Maryland is still pissed off, and they know they can beat the Blue Devils. I’m not really concerned about it. If Boozer can step up, and Williams and Battier have at least 30 points between them, there shouldn’t be any problems. ---

Boozer is still not in playing shape. He’ll get 7 pts. and 4 rebounds. Don’t worry Dookies,Battier and Williams are more than enough. ---
