>>>>merit awarded for spelling "y’all" properly. i don’t know why, but i hate it when i see it spelled "ya’ll," which seems to be increasingly common. i guess i’m as nitpicky as the next guy.Okay, double demerit for both Ellrod and Fatty. Anybody who has lived South of the Manson-Nixon line, aka "down yonder apiece," would know, all y’all are mistaken in your use of y’all. "Y’all" is second person singular. As in "why didn’t y’all return mah phone call?""All y’all" is second person plural. As in "why are all y’all misusing this here pronoun?"When Ellrod addressed the group, he was speaking to all of us, and the correct usage would have been "all y’all," or as we put it in New York where I’m originally from, "youse." Sheesh. Next thing you know, somebody is going to use the term "barbecue" as a verb. If that happens, we’re gonna drop gloves.

I favour the ‘let ‘em go gung ho’ approach. Open anabolic steroids (and other performance-enhancing substances) up to use under medical supervision. Make them prescription drugs, and let doctors prescribe them for those reasons.The current Murkn classification of steroids as Class C (or III, or whatever) drugs along with marijuana et al is a ridiculous and counterproductive political travesty.If steroids were available from one’s family doctor, the market for dodgy stuff from South America and eastern Europe would dry up overnight, and Johnny Eighteen-Year-Old would have to either use tiny and sensible doses to augment his training, or go without.It would also re-start research into the relevant pharmacology, which has stalled since the 60s. Goodness knows, there are millions of HIV/AIDS patients who could benefit hugely from these drugs, but can’t use them because of the politicising of the ‘performance enhancement’ issue.

ellrod:1. merit awarded for spelling "y’all" properly. i don’t know why, but i hate it when i see it spelled "ya’ll," which seems to be increasingly common. i guess i’m as nitpicky as the next guy.2. merit awarded for the stream of conciousness line of reasoning on bill clinton. i could probably find another merit to bring you to even, but i prefer to leave you in the hole by one, so that you’ll feel like you need to be extra smart, funny, and deferential in your next comment.

Ross Rebliagti (approximate spelling) was the Canadian snowboarder who acheived a rare Canadian Olympic double. An outright win, failing his pee test and being stripped of his medal but being eventually reinstated. Therefore both an outright AND a moral victory. Unlike Ben Johnson who was, as I recall, a Jamaican runner.As for being a pedant, I defer to Mr. Bill Clinton who, when asked about Rwanda, replied, "I did not have sex with that woman." In other words, I thought she looked at least 18.Double secret bonus probation, eh? Did y’all know Dean Wormer was a Canadian. Yeah, I didn’t think so.

a.toad – oddly enough, "sammakko" is finnish for "frog." i have no idea where i got the idea for that surname, though.
