I am the most stubborn. My proof? While the rest of my family and my friends abandoned the White Sox during the 1994 strike (mostly because the strike was mainly due to the stubborness of Jerry Reinsdorf and Bud Selig), I stuck with them. I was stubborn enough to stick with a team that broke my heart. You want to talk the Cubs in 1969? You want to talk the Red Sox of 1975 and 1999? Try having your teams’ World Series run destroyed, not by a lack of good plays or the surge of another team, but a strike of that magnitude of stupidity. It still hurts. But I feel that, even if the Sox do no win this year, that they have vindicated me. My love for them has been returned. My stubborness has been rewarded. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by soulsling \* > \*\*Thanks **DRY** , I’ll check it out. (damn that VB code), thought maybe we could cross the [“Hijack”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=32448) thread with this thread and mutate into a new yet still current thread of Shakespeare. Simply by hijacking. Like this:[ul] > “…And therefore little shall I grace my cause > in speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience, > i will a round unvarnisht tale deliver… > For such proceeding I am charged withal…” > -Othello, Othello I.III > [/ul] > > Your turn. Oh stubborn Shakespearian neighbor mine. \*\* This is a totally, completely, unbelievably shameless idea. I\*\*\* LOVE\*\*\* it!! 🙂 🙂 Particularly since I don’t have to worry about the frequency of replies, as I did in the Dueling Quotes thread. We need only drive everyone else off, and we can claim the stubbern (sic) title for ourselves. I’ll offer to share the title with you. 😃 So we can post in the middle of the night. Who cares about time? “What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack and minutes capons and clocks the tongues of bawds and dials the signs of leaping-houses and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-coloured taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.” –King Henry IV, Part 1, Act 1, Scene ii Over to you, \*\* soulsling \*\*! ---

I have a question that you maybe can help me with, Osip? If I want to add a picture of me to that side where people here have it, is it just to e-mail one with a scanned picture of me to the staff here? BTW, you don’t have a change against me, you don’t know who you’re dealing with… ---

I believe if you want to have your picture on the SDpeople pages. [http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages) Techchick can help you I am sure, she is helping out with the people pages. her e-mail from her profile is: [Coflower1@aol.com](mailto:Coflower1@aol.com). Of course if you send it to me I can gladly pass it along to her 😉 I may not have an Idea of who I am dealing with (you) but there is another side of the coin: you do not know who YOU are dealing with either.
