You can't possibly give me points for Secretariat. I knew you meant long jump, but I couldn't come up with the name. I meant it be funny, so humor points might be appropriate.Because of an idiotic brain fart in which I initially wrote "high jump" instead of "long jump," I will accept the first three answers as correct, even though "Secretariat" is not just the wrong answer but the wrong species.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I can and I have. I appreciate your honesty, but I meant what I said (it's a makeup for my boneheaded mistake), and I mean to keep my word. Plus Marley has already added in your score. So unless Marley objects, you will take your REAL points and you will like them.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:You can't possibly give me points for Secretariat.
