The Conversation

Well I don't want to say anything too ribald (this is a gentlemen's forum, after all), so I think I'll refrain from commenting on that.

We don't want to bridle anyone's imagination though.

The imagination of a talented word builder can never be stifled.

I would had to have rebuilt my reputation had I posted the comment that came to mind, though.

Very good of you to keep silent. A person's reputation is like brittle glass: easy to destroy, and hard to rebuild.

Oh, believe me...I've done some damage to my reputation in the past. I'm not really at liberty to discuss it right now...

Heh, just pop the collar on your mackintosh and snug your trilby down low over your brow and just slip on past the implications...

Yes I suppose I could just fade into the scenery. It's a good thing I didn't get that tribal tattoo on my neck - I would have stuck out for sure.

(Boy that's weak. Do you have any idea how much of a pain it is to come up with a follow-up for "trilby" - and try to jam it into context?)

I hear you, brother. It was a bit of a trial working with "liberty", too

Maybe we should alter the direction this thread is taking.

Change the direction after we've come this far?

Don't fear change, Randy.

Don't worry, I'll grin and bear it.

Damn, Price is keeping it real in here.

So, about that change of topic....how would you rate your team's draft this weekend?

Sorry, I didn't stay up late and watch the draft.

I was surprised to see my Saints trade up to take Mark Ingram, although I think they had a pretty good draft overall.

You think Mark Ingram will make the Saints a contender?

I think the Saints were already a contender! Of course, every team in the NFC South except the Panthers can legitimately be called a contender.

The only teams I follow are in the NBA, specifically the Lakers. We're still a good ways off from the draft, and the Lakers seldom get to choose anyone higher than the middle of the second round
