Right on, Graham. It's actually probably round 9 in a 15 round title fight. I think their lack of conditioning is beginning to show. They're way softer than they talked at the start of the fight. And they have lousy corner men.

They're always hitting below the belt and they just got caught ear-biting. So although they've bloodied you and made you a little vangoughish, you could still come out ahead even in that round. The judges are pretty sure by now that ref Williams is crooked.

Glad to see Henson in your corner. He's a good cutman, and has connections to keep your ear on ice. And he can keep you in stitches until it heals.

Congratulations on your judicial declare. I will propose a clam cluster and a purple (tell Jerry Falwell I mean nothing at all by this) heart to the ARSCCWDNE certs and awards committee.

Being declared a vexatious litigant by $cientology's own judge almost deserves its own SP designation.
