Hot mercy, Martha. When was the last time we actually had a real Money
Match around here? Reisman vs. Butler II, like about five years ago?
Larry Hodges vs. any U-2000 clipboard-killer wannabee for 20 bucks a
pop? Is that all there is, mah freeiiinnnd? Then let's be happy:
let's break out the booze, have a ball, all get drunk and screw.

Seems like, sure as sunspots, meteor showers and Elvis and Saddam
Hussein sightings, we've had a lotta money woofin' from spuds like Rick
Anderson, 97.8% of whose posts are Hitler this and Jewboy that. Hardly
your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and a player with Baghdad Bob
smack and a Comical Ali forehand to boot.

S-Jan and his hydraheaded reincarnations have been crawling out from
under da rocks lately, as they are wont to do from time to time.
Dude's been in self-imposed retirement for about a half-decade, and
unlike Anderson may actually once have had sumpin' resembling a game,
but trashin' like he could take out Reisman after a year's hardbat
practice? I could take out Iron Mike Tyson after a year's boxing
lessions from Andrew Gooding, too.

These murphs are woofas, not playas. You don't have to have to show
game to be a woofa; all you gotta have is a double-digit IQ's worth of
smack and 8 mm. cojones with which to back it up. Being a legend in
one's own mind is not to be confused with being the real thing. Any
mope can be a 2500 level playa in cyberpong.

You gotta play to be a playa. These Raggedy Andys ain't no combat men,
all they do is go around woofin' for a fight.

Amen.

I think I saw a copy of 'Henry V, by A. Simian' go past about a month
ago as well.

I have no idea what you are upset about.
I admitted that I do not mind losing to him what more do you want....my
blood

My only concern was that he would lose & I would feel bad for him because
he is a legend & had some bad breaks & Satoh has scarred him for
life & I do not want to inflict the same pain on him again, since you
hardbatters
consider it an ultimate dishonor to lose to a tactical player.

If I start playing again with hardbat I can close my backhand for business
within a month since it is basically teh same as I am used to (no sponge
long pips) & I can switch at will from 2.5 MM inveretd sponge to longpips
back & forth. But I need longer time to hone my forehand since it is so
different to what I am used to since I need to totally redesign &
recalibrate
my attack as well as lobbing & chop defense on my forehand since my strength
is his biggest
weakness in that I can outlast him & wear him down due to my age.
Sure 20 years ago maybe I had no prayer against him but his age is a
problem
but nothing wrong with that. His great touch won't help him since I am just
Steve Berger with lot more offense, lot more variations & much more solid
defense
despite my lack of a hard stiff chop liek Steve Berger. This is exactly why
I would
beat Larry Hodges rather easily due to my better all around skills which
will be more
easier to use if I played hardbat fulltime (yet Larry deludes himself into
believing that
I am a conventional chopper).

I am not going to waste my time anymore on this and sound like dissed Marty,
which I don't . It is just his age.
Goodbye.
