"Sir, you call yourself a physicist? You don't know the
difference between a boson and Bozo! [Slap! marked-for-
duel] I challenge you to meet me on the field of honor!"
A separate section where two dueling smarty pants can get
their war on without hurting the innocent bystanders.
Pedants
at dawn.
This is what Overbaked was to be...and could yet be.

//hurting the innocent bystanders// How are innocent
bystanders injured in a duel of pedants? Speaking as an
occasional bystander, I find the spectacle entertaining. Of
course, I may be biased, as I'm frequently a participant as
well. |

[Ian Tindale] The same could be said of surrealist wit, by
those (not me) who don't enjoy it. It's only an injury if the
thread was otherwise worth reading. So I suppose both are a
form of implied criticism. Hmmm, not sure I agree with
myself, there. |
|
| |
Nah. Come on, a quarter of the fun in this place is watching
people slog it out right here in the middle of the restaurant.
This would be a bit like putting up a screen around a bad
accident. [-] |

<Throws down gauntlet and waits on field for [21Quest].> |

<marked-for-tagline> The difference between a
boson and a Bozo. Although bison would also be
good. |

Named are [not_morrison_rm] and [Alterother] - Teaming is allowed, alternately one may claim peripheral engagement and honorably retreat, but at least one must remain (or turns taken) else all honor is forfeit. |
|
| |
I call choice of arena and method of evidence - pursuit mode rampant. Appear in the idea of my choice if you can keep up... |
|
| |
I am shipping my finest glove via Overnight Mail; please
slap yourself with it upon receipt. |
|

//[not_morrison_rm] and [Alterother] |
|
| |
What? I've just discovered a professional engagement in Katmandu... |
|
| |
Anyway, I have a great get-out clause....if you were on here 4 months ago or so.... |
|
| |
[Alterother], do you have a tracking number for that glove? |
|
| |
I guess I could use one of mine to speed the process - I wonder what the etiquette is on that. I probably have to loan it to you spiritually first or something. |
|
| |
I'm up for getting my honor field! Just give me a second to
take it outside. |
|
| |
There is definitely a market for an internet-
controllable gauntlet for remote slapping. |
|
| |
A gauntlet is surely a small gaunt? |
|
| |
One runs a gantlet and throws down a gauntlet. English
shanghais words from many lands with nothing in common
but a similar sound, then forces them to shack up and share
a toothbrush. |
|
| |
No, it's actually a small "gant" (French for "glove", but then
think about how it sounds when you say it in French). That's
medieval spelling for you. |
|
| |
A gaunt is actually a person who is so thin that
they are like a page from a book when viewed
along its edge. An entire army of these 2
dimensional gaunts can advance unseen by radar if
they walk sideways. |
|
| |
So the "Halfbakery Field Of Honor" has been here forgotton for 14 years. |
|
| |
It's still available for those so inclined. |
|
| |
I wouldn't use it myself probably but it's here. |
|
| |
I don't have anything or anybody I want to duel at the moment, but it's good to be here - I'll be here all week. |
