Is all the old content archived somewhere and if so, is it searchable? I tried looking for the Waters/Gilman slam topics but could find them.

If you can't find it here's a quick synopsis.

Iowa fans - It was a legal slam!

Everybody else - Gilman's a POS!

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

@KCMO2 that's not quite accurate.  Iowa fans were claiming Waters was the one who illegally slammed (himself).

I will always root for anyone above a Sqwawker- and especially Gilburg- but I was proud and sooprised to learn this summer that my cousin is an uncle of Alan Waters. 

Welcome to the family,  my friend!

He learned this technique at DF’s summer camp, and executed it perfectly!

Go away.  I'd just as soon slap you than read your nonsense. 

Giddy on,  boy! Heyah!

Slap me?   You haven't changed one bit.  Boom... straight to violence!

Hence,  "just as soon."

Heyah, as we told our horses growing up.

Yes,  yet another antagonist from 20 years ago who initiates an argument with me,  I reply,  and get cancelled because I'm the one causing the trouble. 

Like a broken ***duck duck goose** record.  I'm so tired of it.

Good lord man. You are so insecure. I don't think you have ever been able to grasp how banter works on a message board. If you can't handle it, simply ignore my handle.

It ain't a stereotyp if it is real.

After all, we know the tooth brush was invented in Arkansas because if it had been anywhere else it would be called a Teeth Brush.

I believe @jross archived the old site.

He sort of tried - which was cool. Much of it is available on the wayback machine, too.

It's a hit or miss type deal - which is OK. At the end of the day, it's always better to look ahead than behind.

You can find the previous discussions attached.  You must navigate the directory structure to access page 2, 3, etc. for each discussion.

Ah, so it can be proved,  once and for to Bob,  that we never formally agreed to the final conditions of our bet,  never solidified with a "handshake."

How,  when the final comditions were never agreed upon?

No, sir! Talk about a biased pool!

Here's how betting works.  Both parties clarify to each other exactly what they are betting on,  both agree,  then seal it with a handshake.  None of which happened with us. 

You changed the conditions and claimed "victory," but I never agreed to the conditions.  Why would I have?! I only engage people in sucker bets, and why would I have EVER agreed to a bet that I'd clearly lose?

B.S.!
