Let's put it this way: you're scheduled for an armwrestling contest with Mr. T. You're allowed to train for up to a year, but can only go up to using an 80lb dumbbell. Yet you use a 20lber. You lose.
Should you whine?
PS, I appreciate that little nugget of spelling appreciation, Binky. I did earn my fair share of gold stars over twenty years ago, and I'm still mighty proud of them. The fact that you are concentrating on that instead of the larger point is quite telling.
Brice, move over, there's a new sheriff in town.
A more correct analogy would be: You are given a 20# barbell because you are broke and the original owner no longer needs it. You clean it up and get it working pretty good. Two years later you find out there is an arm wrestling club. "That sounds like fun", you think. You join and ask what class you will be in. The club members tell you that you are in class D, you later find out that MR T is in this class. You tell every one that you weigh 80#, have been training with a 20# dumbell. you are no match for MR T and need to be in the class with the guy that played Marty McFlys dad in Back to the Future, Crispin Glover. They tell you tough, even tho it may not have been right you are now in this class(They probably get their ass kicked on a regular basis and want to see someone else get the smack down. {Oooh, I may have discovered your line of reasoning})
Right out of Marriam Webster, Gold Star: tho, variant of THOUGH
