Play-By-Play Commentary

Take That You Cat Lover

Unexpectedly Drap-man has recovered the lead with what is tantamount to a brilliant slam dunk, grand slam, wham ham, etc.

Who would have anticipated this turn of events? Reducing his opponent to a sniveling, smarmy, writer of Photoshop trick books. Hey, I wrote one of those (The Designers Guide To Astounding Photoshop Effects - How Books). Hey! What are you trying to say? You mean we who write design books about Photoshop tricks should be ostracized as unfit to live on the same planet as you? Hey Drap, I take this as a personal affront. A slap in the face. A heel in the head. Well, in any case, I take back what I said.

Still, in my role as objective commentator, this was a good return.

David, you are my savior. Defend my honor.
