And still lost not doing a whole helluva lot... yah, big win for Kyra. :

[The Sandmen]

Well, she did better than a lot of people did against Coenen 2.0. And better than some people have done in more recent title fights....(vs Fisher? )

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Good defense is good, but it doesn't generally win you the fight if you go the distance, unfortunately.

As for Fisher, there's probably only a small handful of LWs that can take him down right now.

[The Sandmen]

Hansen 3.0?

Yah Hansen might be one of them, but he's just a frakked up lookin' little alien bitch... lol Folks just faint at the sight (or smell) of him.

[The Sandmen]

SMELL! THAT YELLOW BASTARD!!!

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

EEEEWWW... Ummm, no thanks... you go ahead.

[The Sandmen]

The importance of punctuation. I certainly was not saying "Smell That Yellow Bastard", I was saying "Smell (acknowledgement of a concept, followed by exclamation mark, end of idea) That Yellow Bastard! (recognition of a reference to said character in connection to the previously introduced concept). Smell THAT, yellow bastard!

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Yes, but it could also be construed as "SMELL!" as in here, smell this... then the recognition of the reference to the character. Both are valid, and both are funny... as was my response. Game, set, match. Next?!

[The Sandmen]

Then we have 2 consecutive fragment sentences with completely partial information (did I give you something to smell? Of course not, it's a sim site), which is completely illogical. Logic is a large part of following the English language.

[xx - Team GAP]

whoa who made you the sentence police?

[The Sandmen]

I didn't police anything. I was correcting the error for those using the language incorrectly. And my English Honours degree came from Laurentian University

well heeeeelloooooo mr. fancypants

ROFL The Sandmen got an honors degree from the crayon university... it all makes sense now. : So you basically got a gold star for coloring letters nice, not coloring on the walls and were well behaved during nap time at the log cabin. Gotcha. Way to go buddy.
