Yes. About ten years ago, I was house-sitting a ground-floor flat in Clapham, London. Early in the morning, heard a crack from the sitting room window and thought maybe kids on their way to school had cracked a window with a football or something. So I slipped out of bed and strolled to the sitting room, butt naked and half asleep, looked over to the window and a guy was standing there in the flat dusting his hands off. We both froze for a fraction of a second:

"What do you think you're doing? Get out", I said sort of calmly and quite surprised, while my brain was working out angles and distances and times to various weapons and blunt instruments around the place, (amazing how fast your brain works in situations like that).

The guy was frozen to the spot - possibly doing the same angles and times calculations but with my lap-top as his prize, maybe working out that he was clothed and a good 50lbs heavier than the naked guy, but the naked guy was in good shape and didn't seem to give a shit about the clothing thing. Then the anger came: the cheeky bastard!

I started advancing towards him, raising my voice and pointing at the open window he'd come in through, "Go on, get out! Get the fuck out! Now!". Luckily this jolted him into action and he pretty much flew through the window (somehow only leaving half a palm print behind) and ran off. Didn't feel shaken up at all, a bit of adrenaline, but went back to bed with my girlfriend (who luckily had stayed in bed throughout wondering who I was shouting at).

Speaking to the police later, they said burglars and housebreakers are cowards who don't like confrontation, hence the choice of crime, otherwise they'd be robbers or muggers etc. Lucky for me, a fight would have been a nasty affair. 

It didn't bother me much at the time. But for at least two years afterwards, if there was the slightest noise in my house at night the adrenaline would kick in and I'd be up and stalking around the place armed with a cosh. 

So, on the one hand I'm glad neither of us had a gun, because that day would have had a far less peaceful outcome. But on the other hand, a gun under my pillow those two years afterwards would have been very reassuring. 

He was probably afraid of your willy.

Not really

My great, great grandfather was a insufferable beatnik who used to clamor on about global cooling and nobody would listen.  Thank you for proving him right.

Ya ok.  So that’s why you killed it with a hammer.  Whatever man I don’t give a shit.  You’re a weird freak.  All of your posts support that.  The killing squirrels with hammers was not something I would have anticipated but hey.  We’re just on the internet.  Hard to tell. 

KC you musta fucked up bad if the goth kid is calling you a weird freak.

No, he's the victim of bullies when he goes to Hawaii.

Really? I thought I raped their resources and shat on their culture, but whatever you say.

Lol! Is that because you’re a bully?

I believe in the 1st Amendment rights of the bullies.

If the point that the word “conservative” could describe two entirely different types of judges is past your ability to understand, thus is exactly how you would react.  . . Given that you are a very small person, threatened by others, with a big mouth.

Keep going

Kids caught bullying should be kicked out of the school. Zero tolerance for that behavior 

Jason found the one thing that 99% of Angelswin will get behind.

Not me though.

Well keep soothing yourself bro.  I think it’s obvious that you are pretty threatened by people that have opinions you dont agree with, and God forbid somebody has an opinion that is related to the law.  That stirs your inner insecurity like nothing else.

Yiu really shouldn’t have to be anywhere close to being a law professor to have a valid opinion about law related things.

But that really makes you look less like the isolated decorated expert, doesn’t it?

it’s pretty transparent.  This has nothing to do with me.  If you were more secure with yourself you might just hear my opinion and either agree or disagree with no need to whine.

No.  It’s just that you literally don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.

I understand you think you do, but you don’t.

But please keep going, as I stated multiple times it’s rather remarkable to watch you spew nonsense with impunity.  I actually enjoy it.

Cals again, reliably, just can’t control his little boner for me.  

Just positing out facts, chief.

To be fair, we're all pretty confident in our BS. 

Yes but downtown Carlsbad takes it to a new level.  He’s been lecturing you on a topic he literally knows Jack shit about but with the self-assurance and confidence of a con law professor.  Again, it’s really impressive.

But I am quite impressed with your confidence in your own bullshit.

Nobody is perfect.  But I know without question that I have a better chance of a conservative judge following the constitution than a liberal judge.

The least political the court could be would be by strictly following the constitution.  And anyone that is described as someone who strictly follows the document is labeled as conservative.

So if you are saying being conservative in this context is “biased” then I agree.  I am biased toward being disciplined and following the document.

It was Duffy.

Just say it was Duffy.

We can still say Duffy around here...right?

If you want to get banned.  Go ahead.  

No, it’s any base 

Shit now I’m wondering if it wasn’t first base 

1 minute ago, cals said:

At first base, yes.

Now you guys got me all turned around.  It applies for any forced runner at any base.

So you are saying as long as it’s a force out it doesn’t need to be forced out he can be tagged out and when it occurs doesn’t matter as long as the out is recorded. 

At first base, yes.

6 minutes ago, Stradling said:

That’s why I said it could be a dumb question. The defensive team has the choice to make it a force out but if they choose not to force the runner out then if the guy touches home before the tag out is recorded it feels like it should count. I’ve never seen it. 

In an alternative situation, had there been one out and a runner on first and third and the ball is hit to the 1B who steps on 1B creating an out, then throws to second, the runner from 3rd to home can score because there is no force at second. The play doesn’t end until the runner is tagged.  This happened yesterday or the day before and our lazy runner lolligagged and the run did not score.  But the manner in which a forced runner is out is irrelevant.

Ok that makes sense. 

I didn’t mean to be an ass.

And I think FrostadGrit is smoking some smelling salts.

Just now, Stradling said:

Ok that makes sense. 

I get the question now. But a put out of a runner that hasn’t advanced to his next base either through a force at the bag or by tag is still a force.

It’s still a force out though. Tag or not.

There is no way you guys don’t know the run doesn’t count.

My assumption is the run would count.  

Please say you are joking.
