Dueling

Throwing down the Gauntlet.
There were other ways to avoid a duel besides good seconds or deloping. When challenged to a duel, the challengee usually had his or her choice of weapons. One excellent way to avoid dueling was to choose weapons either ridiculous or obviously suicidal. Howitzers, shotguns at five paces, sledgehammers, forkfuls of pig dung, and cat urine have been chosen as duel weapons. Abe Lincoln chose long swords fought on a small sandbar, which gave the lanky Lincoln a notable advantage. The duel was called off.
If challenged, what weapons would you choose?

Remington 700 at 1000 yards. Both shooters must be prone.

Wet bathtowels. Both duelists must be nude.:devil:

BASIC coding. (If I was up against someone who didn't know how to program, I'd beat them handily. If it was somebody with programming background, they would be repulsed by the GOTO statements.)

Film Cameras. I can decapitate anyone with one shot at any range.

Good question.

It depends on whether I wanted to win the duel, or avoid the duel, and who was challenging me.

[SIZE="3"]When A Man Loves A Woman[/SIZE]

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman.....

When you look at me I start to blush
and all that I can say is you and us
I'm so afraid to be in love
with you, with you...

I wanna be in love with only you
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue
I wanna know the kiss that's always new
I wanna be in love with only you
just you

When stars are falling dark
will light the way
will hit the ground and fall
into the shade
i'll light the night with fire
and run away

I wanna be in love with only you
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue
I wanna know the kiss that's always new
I wanna be in love with only you

Just you
I wanna be
just you

IF, THAN, GOTO statements only. No arrays allowed.

First logic error looses?

Woo...if than goto statements in visual basic are about the only programming I know how to do...but computers tend to do strange things around me...so I don't know if I'd use them as my weapon of choice...

I think we're gonna "puke" it out. guess I didn't get that joke across either - I'll just stop trying now - as you all were - sorry, buh bye.
Shawnee123 • Dec 21, 2007 1:07 pm
Don't joke at the joke or she will be mad that you dared to laugh at the joke that was joking right in front of all our faces. How dare you try to joke back at a joke that was never intended for jokiness even though the joke was right there in joke world. . What a maroon. :headshake
