Re: What we REALLY need is a couple more outrageous, ridiculous decisions

Stegosaurus would be watching the heads. Velociraptor would be watching the arms and big old Brontosaurus would be in the distance munching on an assortment of vegetation types.
The big old T-Rex types would fall in a heap and await the decision with curious interest. All too often one of them would get the hump and skulk off sulking because he felt hard done by. "Why wasn't that sodding Brontosaurus looking more closely?" was a common argument. "I was waving my arms like a bastard. Not that old steggy would ever notice" was another common retort.
Boxing and unpopular decisions are as old as time. I do not expect they will vanish in a hurry.
Love the analogy.
