Skimming Thread 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago
|
Howls: 80
|

This is a thread for us all to practice the fine art of skimming. College Wolf has refined his skimming talents on this forum for quite some time now. When you respond to as many posts daily as he does a person doesn't have time to actually read them, hence the term skimming.
Here's how it works: Do not read the prior posts but simply skim the general content. Skip a few if there are too many. Respond with your first impulsive reaction to the general feel of the thread. Don't be concerned if your response has nothing to do with the earlier posts as that would ruin the artistic value of skimming. Remember creativity is the key to a good skim remark. Good luck!
DISCLAIMER: Sometimes humor on this thread gets a little too vague for the average person. In no way do I want to make light of anyone having cancer. When you are cruising this forum and you decide to wander into the skimming thread, you can laugh and add you own insight, or you can ignore it like most people and move on to the threads that actually have some content.

Hahahahaha this is surely worth a Howl! 
P.S. Even though it may be in jest, I hope you all work on your "skimming" techniques. Its lonely being the only one with such a highly tuned skill. |

Nice one mmaland. This will be an interesting thread. Of course that's if we get it going with a good topic. Hmm... what could spark a ton of debate and cause pandemonium if people didn't read everything carefully...
What about this... Who are you planning on voting for in 2008 - McCain or Obama and why?

Related question. If someone on this blog knew a 100% fool proof way for McCain to win... posted it... and brought him a laptop challenging him to find the information on twolvesblog by himself. Would he find it before the election?

Agreed. Our roster is redundant enough as is. No point any adding anyone else.

I'm with Roundhouse on this one. There's no reason we shouldn't at least be thinking about it at this time. Our assets far outweigh our discrepencys. Get a life!  |

I think Obama would bring some much needed hope and change to this franchise. That being said, do we really want to tie up our cap room for the next 4 years with him?
McCain is a veteran on the decline, but we could probably snatch him up for the minimum. He's obviously just looking to win a title at this point in his career.

Who are their agents? Think they will negotiate with our front office? We all know Bill Duffy is the only agent Mchale is comfortable dealing with. Would either of these guys even want to play in Minny? There are a lot better teams that could probably offer them about the same amount of money or more.
