I don't know how the statisticians count it, but it sounds to me like the rules say it's one at-bat.
Ah yes, I see now. Sorry for injecting confusion, please carry on.

With each and every time that you creep me by saying things like that, I feel like I'm at a retard petting zoo.
Just to clarify, I don't mean a petting zoo for retards but a petting zoo where you go to pet retards.
Oh, I almost forgot.
You're one of the retards.

whoa. the building my office is in has a company that handles retarded people. you hear some pretty funny conversations in the elevators.
yesterday i overheard a "high functioning" retarded kid talking about how his mom was trying to get him to stop smoking. "mom, how can you tell me to quit smoking when you smoke crack?" "i'm not telling you to stop anything so leave me alone."
classic.

You are right and I was wrong.

Very well, but only because you asked.
You seem to have this disdain for in-depth conversations, which this board tends toward, as demonstrated by your "pocket protector alert" just now. You also seem to consider yourself "above" all of us supernerds on the intarweb, even though you yourself are one of us by your participation here. Yet, not once have I seen anything from you that indicated you have any desire to participate in a discussion, but you keep chiming in on them to try and slag people off, people who have been here way longer than you and provide much more entertaining material. The popular conception is that you're a troll, probably one of the same trolls that we all got sick of a long time ago come back with a new improved username, and that I am wasting my time and everyone else's by even addressing you.
I freely admit that I'm wasting Electrical's disk and bandwidth by posting here, but at least someone finds me funny once in a while. Why are you still posting?
