    I foresee a tag team match-up : John and Ben vs. Rip and Luke. That would be a real A vs.C competition.

    I have no MMA background,but I'm still pretty good at armwrestling. I have defeated guys in their 20's.

    Okay, you're in, Rippon. :thumbs: They used to advertise some guy in the Japanese "Pride" MMA competition as a "World Champion Arm Wrestler."

    What wins a debate?

    I spoke to Dr. Bob and he declined saying it would be best if we started a thread and let folks chime in as they will.

    I asked him if he would chime in- he hasn't responded yet.

    I understand.

    Start a thread if you want to, but I can't guarantee I'll participate, particularly until Monday. At that time, if you've got a thread going I'll evaluate it and see if I think it's worth my while.

    God bless.

    It will not be worth your while because it will prove you to be wrong- so yea- you might want to avoid that one.:thumbs:

    Have a good weekend, Brother John. Keep up the good work.
