 You mean like, the way Dennis has to "splain" things to you?

 Hell, Yesman Mike is still trying to figure out what I want to bet him on.

 Think he'd bargain his credibility down to $250, or is that still too
high?

He's embarrassed by the hashup you make of things, I guess.

I took it that he valued his credibility too much to make it a
gambling chip on your tilted table.

 Of course, since -he- understands it, -I- understand it, and pretty much
everybody -but- you understands it, I can see why you think that makes it
"my" hashup.

 You've exhibited similar conclusions many times.

 I don't think you and Mike equates to "some of the rest of us", but, who
knows.

 Sheryl might pivot in and hoist.

 Or couldn't back his innuendo.

 After calling my credibility into question several times, and questioning
my presence several times, he wouldn't back his mouth with a bet..

 Most people would hardly see that as "valuing his credibility".

 But seeing what -your- credibility is around here, I can see how you
reached your futile conclusion.

 As far as a tilted table, I said I was in Ottawa and Orleans, he said,
several times, that he doubted it, and I challenged him with a bet.

 He declined, dodged, and scurried.

 It's awfully simple to prove, and I don't see where your "tilted table"
comes from, but then your comprehension issues deepen and widen daily.

 Would -you- like to take his bet?

 Say, $15?

 Is his credibility worth that?

 Because he had a chance to back yours, and he shanked you for all to see.

 What will you do?

Think about what you just wrote there, dude, and if you're not
embarrassed by it then you'll never be embarrassed, but then that's a
probability, isn't it?

Unlike you, I seriously doubt he'll try to bargain away his
credibility on a bet.

I think that was your innuendo and his response. His sounded pretty
straightforward to me, unlike your smoke and mirrors.

Your credibility has long been in question here. Mike didn't bring
anything new to the group and you're the only one who seems compelled
to bet on their own credibility. Some of the rest of us are pretty
comfortable with ours without the gambling nonsense.

>   Most people would hardly see that as "valuing his credibility".

You're the only one trying to put a price tag on it. Think about it.

In yer dreams, dude. That being said, I'm sure one of the metoos will
come to your defense. You're lucky to have such loyal, if blindered,
friends. Most of us have to prove ourselves at least once, something
beyond springing for drinks and kissing serious a.s for a night.

Bullshit. You danced around what he said like some Nureyev wannabe.

He declined and laughed at your silly pretentions.

His credibility is already on the table. You can't deflect the truth
with your silly betting game. You rolled the dice and lost. He
outgunned you in your own terms. Quit while you're only a little
behind.

>   Because he had a chance to back yours, and he shanked you for all to see.

We're still waiting for the cites to back up that particular nonsense.

Continue to laugh at your squirming?

 It would be nice, on the annual outing, if you'd provide an accurate one.

 Dennis came to his own defense, correcting your incorrect "guess".

 Your putting of words in his mouth, actually, as you accuse others of, per
your usual M.O..

 He was just leading you by the hand, as we all do.

Another example of his "intuited logic" instead of facts?

I'm not sure you and I have the same idea of what constitutes a fact.
Something uttered at some point by the Master Metoo doesn't
necessarily constitute a fact. If it's merely quoting his words that
would be factual, but his opinion and his fabrications are often off
the mark, generally easily recognized by the preceding "that's a lie."
and and the postscript "You're a liar." What comes in between is often
a Popeyeism of the first water, customarily adorned with
unpronounceable goobledeegook and scatological language, but seldom to
be confused by anyone but the Metoos with fact.

How much more accurate than a cut and paste of your very post can it
get?

 That's kind of a conundrum.

 For you, that is.

 See, cut n' pastes of -my- posts are generally considered accurate.

 But cut n' pastes of -your- written word are frequently challenged for
accuracy.

 The conundrum is, -maybe- after me, -you're- the one that challenges the
accuracy of your own written word most frequently.

 And what you cut and pasted was your post.

 Not mine.

 Remember my discourse yesterday about your memory?

 He's corrected you a number of times now on the same point.

 But bedrock has never stopped you before.

Was it a "defense" or more a correction of the inaccuracies in your
statement?

Sounded like a defense to me - "nor do I think he (Popeye) makes a
"hashup" of
things."

I was correcting your statement (guess) - pointing out that you'd gotten two
things wrong about what I think.
Your statement had two concepts.
a) I was embarrassed
b) I thought he made a hashup of things.

Therefore, I had to correct you on two counts.
Two incorrect concepts, two corections.

If I just said "I'm not embarrased, then you could claim that, since I
didn't challenge the "hashup" comment that I did indeed agree with that.
