I don't think any of those on the 'Grand Slam list' look down on anyone else on the list. All the living people on the list know what it takes to get...
Calm-down Doc ..... if I want to insult you I will make it clear. Unlike someone playing you for a fool .....
The "dong sock" would require balls to put in it .... That requirement seems to be missing from someone who chases "Dr.Longshot" around to like...

If .... the complaint alleges .... "no score-sheets" .... how does this fit ????? "The Executive Committee may at any time at its discretion suspend...
Not so much as where a near miss could happen ... but the effect of a faster moving object on what it hits. Does a 'mass' do more damage with...
It is not that they don't have enough rules .... They just make things worse by taking an action that has no backing. If your going to make things...

"did the guy really get caught cheating? I'd say no" ..... really ????? I shot registered targets Sunday ... I looked at the score sheets ......
If hurting my feelings was your goal ..... you failed. "won't respond like an ass" .... well, if that is based on my opinion .... you win.
