That would make me uncomfortable, both in that I would hesitate to offer up my not-good-enough-for-prime-time efforts, and in that ripping up someone else's work, virtually right there to their face, would not be very pleasant, to me.<br />-----<br /><br />Haiku News Commentary<br /><br />Well, you never know...<br />Soccer games can turn ugly<br />(Or so I have heard)<br /><br />And the spectators<br />Need their practice just as much<br />As the players do.<br /><br />Practicality<br />Suggests arming yourself for<br />Attack or defense.<br /><br />(/snarky sarcasm.
