I try not to get angry much. What irritates me are people who prejudge you and don't know you. You've always got to get to know a person yourself.

Are you reading this, College Wolf?

Ridiculous answers???

He was being truthful. Just 'cause his views are a bit \"different\" than what you would be used to(or \"expecting\") doesn't make his answers \"ridiculous\".

He was joking when he did that joke about there not being any 4's....He was not joking when he answered Bob's questions. If anything, it is Bob who asked some \"ridiculous\" questions. I mean...asking someone if he's afraid of ghosts??? C'MON!

I like having you around #8. Always good to have somebody for CW to debate with. Before MWithers disappeared there were the Foye conversations, then there was the Theo debate with MadDog. Now some good back and forth about Antoine. Makes for some good reading!

I said ridiculous because of the fact that it really seems like he put little to no thought into some of his answers. I mean, your favorite Christmas gift EVER was \"a nintendo game.\" Seriously?!?! That is WEAK. He didn't even name a game. I mean, c'mon.

36 holes of golf a day in the summer? No wonder Riley thought he was out of shape.

Obviously I know that not every question was something that would require a totally serious answer, but I also wasn't ripping on everything he said either. Regardless of who answered these questions, I would have posted the same thing I did. It's not just because Antoine said it. Probably the only person that I wouldn't have ripped on would have been Gomes. If these were quotes by Gomes, I simply would have never posted a link to the article and prayed that none of you ever found it.

I will admit to one thing. You do have somewhat of a point in regards to him considering getting a nintendo to be the best gift ever but I think he was thinking in terms of not the fact that he got a nintendo game from Christmas but probably WHO got him that nintendo game(his grandmother back then?). that's probably what he was alluding to. Then again, he probably wasn't and this whole debate is much ado about Nothing.

oh well...
