Actually no. Short on the facts once again. RCG befriended Mav on a trading thread. RCG e-mailed Mav several times saying how he would like to come into the city sometime for dinner or drinks. RCG again several months later re-iterated how he would really like to me meet Mav for drinks. Said it was DEFINITELY on his to do list. A few months later Mav and RCG make a bet on the result of the coming election where both men gave their word to buy the other dinner if they lost the bet. A month or so after the bet Mav decides to go ahead and see if RCG would like to meet before the bet because you know, summer in Chicago is nicer then Nov in Chicago. So Mav extends the invitation to RCG. Those are the facts Ricter. I know as liberal you try to skirt them as much as possible. But the facts are as they are laid before you. You can make up your own narrative if you want. I really don't mind. But if you are going to write a post for the latecomers to the thread, couldn't you at least use the facts just this once then go back to fictional storytelling? Just a suggestion...
My bad, apologies, I should have used a smiley, I shortened the story for the laugh factor. Look, just wait 'til November for this, and if it's cold, wear a coat.
It's not about being blameless. I invited RCG to dinner. Add whatever narrative you want to that. You usually do.
Indeed, RCG did befriend Mav as a trader. Then RCG realized that Mav has some, "quirks". Since then, these "quirks" have caused RCG to move to the left, much as the GOP has. Since we both trade, I am fairly convinced now that either Mav is pandering down here in the basement, or he actually believes what he says. Again, I have to thank those of you who duly warned me.
For the record, you do plan to keep your word though, as a man, right? We made a bet. Just want some clarification on that. I don't recall anything about quirks in our bet. We both gave our word. A gentleman does two things life. He honors his word and he honors his debts. I expect you to be a gentlemen. I will never re-neg on either.
I'll go to Peoria, IL or Peoria, MN. There are no conditions in which I will not honor my word. My word is my bond.
