I thought promise keepers were guys in shorts, t-shirts and Teyvas waving their arms and crying about being good fathers at Anaheim Stadium.

I understand your point on McClintock and Schaivo–both promises were self serving and I suppose you could say, stubborn. However the third fella, Huish, was doing more than keeping a promise to castrate himself if his team unexpectedly won. He was performing a public service by eliminating unneeded and unwanted genes from the gene pool. Don’t be dissing public spirited acts. In fact I have a little list of public spirited officials that should perform that same service and I’m sure you have a little list too.

Well, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Wales (my brother used to live in Carmarthen), and knowing how Taffy feels about rugby, this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
