Once a TRF member said he “got a fat lady”. I was perplexed… so I looked it up. So, being female, I say Fat Lady for GMT reference 16760 should be addressed as just the numbers. Who comes up with these names?!?

I hate to mention this or even bring it up.

It's not that I want to do it.

However he is the one that brings up the dreaded word Tumi the most.


Does this mean we should start to consider Banning Paul?

Quite often I think there's a reasonable middle ground somewhere. Many people don't do reason or reasonable very well.
