What on earth do we need google for when we have the fully upgraded and state of the art "Collins2000" at the ready? And since when does a fully antiquated...uh I mean automated search engine develop such an attitude?
Here he is, boxrec's self-proclaimed funny man. Zero knowledge of boxing but 70 years experience as a clown.
Buzz, after all your years in showbiz, surely you know it's better when you have the crowd laughing with you rather than at you.
I disagree...it does not matter where the laugh comes from as long as it comes...Even Andy Kaufman would endure the great long anguished pregnant pause in hopes that at some point the laugh might arive whether with him, at him, or simply because it broke the painful silence.......even if it took the wrong bus before it's much delayed arival.
C'mon zero knowledge? During the year I used to read without contributing (you remember the good old days) I learned ten things.
1.Boxing is a sport which is easier to get a ticket for now than it was years ago.
2. Combatants wear gloves
3. The events are held inside a squared ring
4. The ring card girls are usually attractive]
5. Some enthusiasts at forums think they know it all and are often a bit on the eccentric side.
6. There is certain relentless nature to some forum contributors who though enthusiastic about the sport have little in the way of social skills, writing skills, even if they have a bit of knowledge of the sport.
7. A great technique of those un-named folks is to build themselves up by imagining that the denegration of others makes for a great and delightful elevator ride for themselves.
8. I simply enjoy the sport, reading about the sport, and find this forum perhaps the single most interesting place to pick up some insight and knowledge regarding the sport in spite of a few contributors that lack the instinct to know that as nice as it is to be important it's even more important to be nice.
9. Collins tells me he is the most advanced pugilistic pontificator the planet has ever produced, and will most likely only be best appreciated far after he has shuffled off his mortal coil. I have come to agree with him on the latter aspect of this claim.
10. granberry/terap is perhaps his only real competitor within the great arena of keyboard warriors. And neither have an appreciation for any sort of attempt to interfere or engage in their great and ongoing debate. Sadly the great competition between them has created tension betweent them as predictable as it is insurmountable.
oh...and 11. Neither Collins nor granberry will be inviting me over or buying me a drink anytime soon.
Warning: Don't cross them lest they release the full fury of their verbage upon your primitive digital scratchings.
And now I must return to my court sentence of being the ongoing and ever faithful enabler of Collins and the endurer of granberry.......
