A Humble Suggestion

As a Penn State English: Writing Option grad (with a minor in general science), I'd like to point out that the dictionary definition of "Adventure" is "an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks."

If a person, any person, appears to have won about 90% of the time going back years and seems to have a firm grasp of all pertinent risks, he or she is obviously in no danger and faces no unknown risks.

I therefore humbly submit that the word "Adventures" in the title of such threads is denotatively inaccurate, and that readers would be better served by the word "Non-Adventures," which I think any dictionary would agree better characterizes the content of those threads.

Just a humble suggestion. It's usually a sound policy to label threads as accurately as possible.

So, like a dirty gas station bathroom would qualify?

Lets see what an obvious trolling thread will get you!

Thanks for starting yet another thread about our esteemed high roller. I doubt it needs publicity, so thread closed.
