End of the road for pros?

[Robbo]

I hear you, Pete. I have always preferred, as you know, competing leagues at least as they've been. If that time is coming to an end I'm prepared to be realistic but expect some ongoing nostalgia. If we are looking at some arrangement of "leagues" that have questionable validity for some transitional period I don't see that being any resolution to the current subject; the life expectancy of the present crop of Pro teams. And even a return of sorts to a unified Pro playing field--for most--may not be soon enough--again, within the context of the thread starter. Perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic but regardless of how the league situation resolves itself I still see (more) teams falling by the wayside. (Of course that's hardly the end of the road, except for the teams involved.)

It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

PS--Mario, wow. Not your finest hour. That's what Mod's Forum is for.

Paul, and of course Missy, the real irony is, and I am not saying if anything is gonna happen for certain or not, the possibility of the wedding wasn't bought about by the impending decline of several of one league's members but from the commonsense and far sightedness of the White Knight..(after he was briefed of course by a power greater than he obviously ).
I was asked to act as a usher to proceedings let's say and it was my very real pleasure to not approach any painful goodbye(s) thus keeping the congregation very much a happy bunch...if of course it goes ahead.
It would of course never have happenned (if in fact it does) without the new life-force because he is pivotal if sanity is to return.
But let's hope we get there, with or without the 'painful goodbye'(s) - preferably without.

As for any transitional period?
I have no idea which way that will go but I would think it would have to involve a multi-formatted period at the front end.
As you righlty say, none of this will prevent some from falling by the wayside but hey, that's natural selection right there mate.
Darwin's got a lot to answer for

There will be casualties for sure. After all, the whole purpose of a white knight is to slay the dragon, right? After that we will just need a Virgin, and lord knows where we will find one of those in this game. Perhaps Lane could use his seemingly irrisistable charms to track one down for us...

Slaying the Dragon in this case isn't the reason the White Knight cometh but it may well be the way it goes if the Dragon doesn't behave.

Looking for a virgin anywhere in your vicinity is much like looking for a pork chop in a synagogue ... it ain't happenin'.

As for Lane, I agree, I spoke to him at length the other night and now it is somewhat in the open I suppose we can all marvel at the power of chloroform and hypnotism coz for the life of me, I can't work that one out either.
I suppose it just goes to show, someone has to win the lottery..even if it is a hillbilly from Georgia
They'll make a good couple don't ya think?

I do actually, yes. It will at least give all the other ugly boys something to be hopeful about, although I don't see Lane appearing in any sex-hotline ads in the near future...

Missy -

You just ain't looking in the right magazines. And based on the wardrobe you sport, I must say - I find that surprising. Ask Laurent. I guarantee has definitely seen my ads. I'll send you my new phone number. No amount of reasoning would stop him from calling.

And Pete -

The myth that the largest members belong to black men is wrong. Actually Native Americans have the largest.

The myth that the French are the most romantic is another crock. Jewish guys are far more romantic.

The idea that the Italians are the most passionate lovers is way off base. Good ol southern rednecks have that locked up.

Lane is my paintball alias. My real name is Tonto Goldstein. But everyone in the trailer park calls me Bubba.

 

[Missy-Q]

LOL, great to hear from you Tonto.
Tell me, when you go to bed at night, do you worry that when you wake up the past 6 months will have been a dream, and you'll be back trying to chat-up that inbred chick at the Bait & Tackle store again?

As for my wardrobe, if leopard-print unitards ever go out of fashion I will be extremely suprised, and will definitely come to you for some advice on how to dress my fat-ass up....

 

[PSPLane]

The chick at Jerry's Bait and Tackle is smokin'. She even smells good most of the time.

I'm sure you would have had to have seen at least one of my ads. I had a 3 month banner at http://www.tailends.com/

But, regardless, don't be fooled. You take a hot chick out on the 75mph bass boat for a day of baiting hooks and tangling with catfish, there putty in your hands. They'll agree to anything if you promise to get them back to a bar of soap and running water. I'm running at about a 95% success rate. 20 tries and 19 successful instances. The hot chick from the bait shop laughed and said something about her uncle Cleetus and 5 days in the mountains Coon hunting with no electricity or running water at her hunting lodge ........... It's a long story. I just pushed her out at the power lines and kept on going.

I get my bait at Mikes Fishing and Hunting supplies now. They're a little more expensive. But the girl there is kinda cute. Well, when she has has her teeth in and isn't wearing camo over-alls, she's almost cute. Sort of.

6 months eh?????

Missy, if I ever informed you of the details of this saga, trust me Missy, you would not, could not believe me.....this is a tale that only ever happens in re-runs of Falcon Crest ...... the likes of me and you Hunny Q would instantly dismiss the storyline as balderdash........we just couldn't ever believe one man could hit the jackpot in such a way ..... Lane, I have a heartfelt and well meant message for ya, we have been friends a long time and you know my word is true......'you f##kin' lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky batsid'.

Mind you Missy, with Lane hitting the Mother Lode, this must give you some hope of actually getting laid but I suppose the chances of running into Stevie Wonder are few and far between over there in Harlem Town...still, you can break out your newest vibrator, problem is, where will you hook it up coz as far as I know, New York State doesn't have any nuclear fast breeder reactor stations....still, next year maybes Missy, next year...

I'm going to set up Missy and Lane with a room somewhere. Once Lane has a taste of Harlem's finest ass, he'll never want to go back to the bait shop. And Missy should be less ornery.

 

[Robbo]

Chris, you know full well of whom we speak when we talk of Lane's Mother Lode .... do you honestly think he would even look at another? .....I don't think so somehow, especially when you factor in the whole package ....he would have to be insane to compromise that little lot ...in'frikkin'sane.

See ya at WC Chi town
