So Graham, your short term memory is obviously shot.

Shot: n. Nautical. A length of chain equal to 15 fathoms (90 feet)
in the United States and 12 1/2 fathoms (75 feet) in Great Britain.

So you're trying to say that my mind is like a piece of 90-foot
chain in the US and a piece of 75-foot chain in the UK. Learn to use
language properly.

Senile dementia at your young age? How much crack does
that take, anyway?

Depends how much she charges.

You'll find out when you arrive...

I arrived a long time ago.

But where? Clearly not in the 21st century.

Clearly as in totally without any basis in fact. Correct.

Not that kind of arriving.

Right Graham, not the kind where you actually got some place in
the real world.

I have multiple places. The table was certainly never set for you
though, was it.

Can't figure the difference between a noun and an adjective?

Shot:

3 : reduced to a state of ruin, prostration, or uselessness his
nerves are shot

Can't figure out that the word shot in Mr. Krueger's initial post can
be interpreted as either noun or adjective? In other words, shot can
be a direct object as well...

If you wish to quibble about a dig, so can others...


Note the well-known Weil talent for reducing *anything* and *everything* to
a quibble over unlikely meanings.
