You are now!

And it would be the Pro position vs The Vagabond.

I'll edit when you give the go ahead...

Pumpkin, I like that nickname for you twisi.

It is now permanent!

So hiya doin' pumkin?

Schrodog, you really must learn to use these cutesy nicknames properly. It's either "Pumpkin" or "Punkin," not "Pumkin."



Tuning Spork, if you take this debate you will have my (and others', I'm sure) sympathy and condolences. I hope you'll be able to remember our kind words after the debate .. or haven't you heard that "TV" will rot your brain??

True, though neither "hiya" or "doin'" seemed to bother thee.

Must be an Oklahoma thang.

Tuning Spork made a good show in his first tournament and he went out on a topic that I really wish we hadn't used. I wouldn't worry too much about him getting thrown into the deep end.

Well, my preliminary research isn't turning up much. But I think I have enough to at least make an opening statement.

I'm in!

Hey, man, pull your sense of humor out from under that funky hat. It was a PUN (you know, like a joke?) on The Vagabond = TV.

I guess you had to be there. Oh wait .. you were .. Never mind.


@SchroDog:

Yea, I'm trying to "blend in" for when TSHTF. Been stocking up on Camo duds and got me a 4-wheeler, too. (Probably called an 'ATV' in your neck of the not-woods.)

Pfff, at least he doesnt have to defend Scientology like I do.

After every post I end up crying, in the shower......trying not to vomit

You're in TS...

I'll edit the title shortly...

I call those Saturdays.

1. I mostly just disregard references to me as TV since that's sometimes used as shorthand for transvestite (Tuning Spork may acquire a similiar peeve after reading this).

2. At least everyone knows that Scientology exists.

Round 3. Justin Oldham v Tuning Spork: Planet of the WHATS? revisited

The topic for this debate is "Non homo Sapien civilizations rivaling our own preceeded mankind on Earth".

Tuning Spork will be arguing the pro position and will open the debate.
Justin Oldham will argue the con position.

We should have abandoned that topic when the first attempt to debate it fell through, but it got so many flags that we tried to make it work by giving to a pair of really good debaters.

Haha

My saturdays usually start with the words "where the hell am i, and who is this mysterious woman under the covers"

Soon followed by

"Crap, I hope thats a woman"

followed by

"Damn it is a woman, and where are my pants"

soon followed by

"Crap, I cant remember her name"

soon followed by

"This isnt my house"

soon followed by

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house"

The above one wasnt me

"Non homo Sapien civilizations rivaling our own preceeded mankind on Earth"

Yikes, I see what you mean.

Especially with the word "preceded" being not only quasi impossible to defend but also hard to spell.

Ouch...that is a rough topic.

Reminds me of when I had to prove that ancient civilizations had technology far in advance of todays...fun but impossible, especially against Off_The_Street.

I miss that guy.

Preceded, preceeded, preseeded, re-seeded, salted the earth, whatever. I had whiskey money at the time.

Oh, good God, don't remind me of that disaster. I found the earlier rounds invigorating even when I wished I'd been given the opposite side to argue. But that One? It just wasn't made to showcase the best of either me or Justin.

Justin won fair and square, of course. I just wish I could have made him really work for it.

As soon as semperfortis makes the edit, constantwonder will be replacing esdad71 against skeptic1...

And that, I hope, fills all of the positions...

Well, my opponent is now 10 minutes past the 48-hour deadline+extension mark, and is now into my special "I've got a 1/4 bottle of whiskey left" grace period. Extended only to first-time debaters. It simply means I may post later tonight, but either way it's going to be interesting.

*Pours a shot of whiskey for Vagabond, who looks like he needs it, being all skin and bones. Err, all bones that is.*
