Ok now.
I can accept this.
He is definitely in very good shape
and he is very smart.

But he was the best at one time.

He is a businessman now imho.
He is not willing to actually try and
win these big fights imo.

But that is my problem. I should just
refuse to watch anymore of his fights.
Which I will now attempt. Even if he
fights another guy like Joe C. who is fun
to watch.

As far as sense of humor...
Pat yourself on the back.
You guys are great. The Peegarden
never gets old.
And since apparently teaching in Texas
is apparently an affront to any sensibility
what is your profession (since you are
nothing like it)?

I know you weren't asking me this....

But it should be known that I was, at one time, one of the all-time least impressive amature boxers in Pennsylvania history.

I looked pretty good in the gym and all - but the fighting part I wasn't so great at.

Cool.
Getting busted in the nose and face
and having to keep your eyes open
is a hell of a lot of fun... eh?

I like boxing, especially divisions other than the heavies
now, because they are really great athletes and
some of the toughest people in sports.

Takes a hell of a lot of guts and you have to be
in superior shape. I have boxed. Just at gyms (San Antonio
is a really big boxing town with all the hispanic boxers).
A really good boxer in the Army showed me a little bit.
(San Antonio also used to be full of military). Never been
so tired in my life. Not to mention that it hurts to get hit
in the face, even with protection.

Really I just like to watch good athletes. Thats how I was drawn to
the horses as well. I played every intramural sport known to man
in college. Sadly I was far superior in Tennis, the sport I probably
like the least now.

Translation:

He wore white tassels in the gym...





...but would not only lose in a real bout,but had his lunch money pilfered as well.

OK - we'll leave it at that and agree to disagree on whether or not he is trying to win fights.

My profession really has nothing to do with this or anything else on a horse racing message board, so I don't bring it up here.

OK.

My profession stuff goes back to
the ESPN board. I really dont care
what anybody does. And I usually dont mind
that people take jabs at my profession.
But if they do, I think its only fair that
they present their lofty position.

Morton.

You are fantastic at the fine art
of manipulation. And I grudgingly admit
you are funny. Obviously bright.

imho, your pestering and need for attention
are mildy endearing. Since I am currently
enthralled with Electric Fields, you want
to start a new thread?

We can call it E-fields, and I can practice
explaining to you, and you can make fun of me.
Cant wait till tomorrow. Its gonna be a fine day
for me.

Oh I'm an attention HO....no question.






Don't forget to go into electro magnetic lines of force......wave propogation...


...jerkoffs law.......and those wonderful comparisons of dc vs. ac components such as inductors vs.resistors.



I like building pulses to resist rather than just resisting....don't you?

Personally I am into capacitors.
And you know of Kirchoff.
So either you looked it up quickly
or someone has taught you.

And you remember.

Thats more circuitry stuff.
We will be starting off the yunguns
on charges that dont move and create fields.

Static electricity.

Now the ones taking the AP test. They will
be doing RC circuits.

How do you remember this stuff Morton?

Try fucl<ing with the high voltage cabinet of a radar set and you may really understand the art of learning on the run.


Of course..no one taught you this stuff..you were born with the gift of the shaman.
