Foobah shouldn't be rewarded for being smarter than we are! Heck we still don't know if it's a girl or a boy! I bet Foobah can't make a chocolate soufflé, can you Foobah? Smartypants! Teacher's pet.

You probably don't want to go there -- I actually happen to be an excellent chef, and am quite capable of making a chocolate soufflé.  I wasn't going to mention it, but since you goaded...

Oh, and I is a boy.

Goaded you? Nah, more like a challenge, no? Okay, fooboy, errr, ummm, foobah, I'm gonna sit right here until you deliver that chocolate soufflé. Let's see how good you can make it!

I'm waiting . . .

And just in case you already forgot what this is all about . . .








I WIN.

Great!  I hope you have a comfortable chair, though.  Here's some pictures I just took of my kitchen...

Guess you must be eating lots of takeout lately.

What kind of kitchen are you getting?

Foobah I just finished renovating my kitchen this December. I want to hear what you're going to do in yours. I love this stuff even though it was torture to go thru.  Next break I have I still want to put up a tile back splash between upper/lower cabinets.   I love love love my granite countertops and maple cabinets.   Here's two photos:

You folks are so lucky to have such big kitchens. I've got one of those kitchens, that when you're pregnant, you have to go out of the kitchen and come back in just to turn around!

But it sure is easy to keep clean. I redid mine in 2001. I replaced everything including the cabinets, the floor, the sink, refrigerator, self-cleaning ovens, and the washer. I got so crazy doing it I even replaced a perfectly good microwave and toaster to match the decor! I wouldn't go through that again if you paid me . . . well . . . maybe . . . if you paid me enough!

Good Night and Good Luck.

I have to go to work today boooo hooooo hooooo.  You people will finally have a shot at winning.  But since Shelby2 is the biggest loser and already laid claim to the million bucks, I'm not sure which end of the dog we're chasing: head or tail???????

Actually, according to Godwin's Law as originally posted by michaelb, this argument was over when NYCMac posted the photo of Hilter.  Mac, you have the official last word on this thread! :2funny:

Godwin's law is a tradition that has lasted since the early 90s.

Excerpt from the Wikipedia article:

Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:

    "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum form.

The rule does not make any statement whether any particular reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that one arising is increasingly probable. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact. Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions, the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.
The Chuckster has spoken!

If only it were that simple.  Godwin obviously never played TLW.
