Where do I collect mine? Someone has forgotten about me for 14 seasons and I'm here to collect!

We left it on the field for you TD, someone must have turned the lights out lol. I don't get into baited discussion like that, it always reminds me of those childish schoolyard spats or one of those "he said-she said" arguments ha ha. I have enough drama in day to day life without going out looking for more, and I'm certainly not going to lower myself down to the level where envy, jealousy, and wantonness dwell.

I would like to say that I have also not received a participation trophy. Surely 36 mediocre seasons is worth at least a printed certificate with the words "3rd Best Badminton Team" hastily scratched out and my (misspelled) name written on it.

I need mine also.

I guess if your goal is "don't get fired" that's as good as a participation trophy, right???

I get an email every season that says "Thanks for participating..."

shortly followed by "Pete won another NC" and "give us more money"... I thought that was the GD equivalent

I'm starting to get the feeling like there isn't a participation trophy and that Alek character was just spewing out random insults... hmmmm... could it be true....

Pete is like a wise old Monk who has mastered GD and my respect for him grows every time I read a new thoughtful and wise comment.

As I do generally agree with you Pete I can't say I was baited. I deffinilty knew the type of responses I would get from the troll but I couldn't resist the entertainment and letting him make himself look dumb. Now the entertainment value has worn off and it's just getting sad. There for I will be joining your Monasterie and training at your feet. Please show me the way Master Pete. You are our only hope... (wrong master?) Wax on wax off... (he was a Monk right)

But honestly congrats on another NC! It is an honor to play with you and talk to you!

Enter at the straight gate and follow the narrow path my son, and you will sing a new song and receive a new name and all things will be revealed to you. But beware the evil one, for he waits in the way for unwary sojourners like a ravenous wolf, always ready to rip out their joy and steal their crowns.

I think that rule probably should have been extended in your case Jeff.

The same could be said about you Chet, but I appreciate the encouragement.

Is Pete still in this world? Dang it. LOL

I thought he was moving to 1A:)
