The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 26, 2022

It was a one way talk.

That just means he was a very talented debater.

My reply, if I were Brutus, would be: “You weren’t there, so you wouldn’t know.”

That’s debatable.

And let me guess…he always lost the debates.;-D

Gladys always was a killjoy.

This brings up a subject for debate, can a natural “born loser” actually become a captain of any team?

Only member of the debate team? Debate practices must have been interesting.

I still remember the debate topic from my senior year: “Resolved: That the United States should significantly change the method of selecting presidential and vice-presidential candidates.” Seems to be as pertinent today as it was 47 years ago.

that’s okay, he don’t need anybody else. :D

that’s debatable

I guess he argued with himself. He probably won and lost.

He’s THAT good. Impressive. Shows that he can think on his feet and is usually well prepared, or at least should be. Debate was a serious activity back then. I teach it today at college level, or try to I should say. However, I now know that they were in High School together, possibly sweethearts back then and at least have a History. Oooo…..

It was the arguing team back then…

Brutus was the only member of the debate team, thus he became the captain, Yea!

Brutus must have looked really lonely in the schools yearbook picture of the debate team.

It was quickly renamed the “debacle team.”

We were having a bragging contest one night in our college dorm, and everyone was touting their class rank, or SAT scores or awards until my roomie said, “I WAS the top 10% of my class.” (there were only 11 in his Senior class — IN HS before consolidation) It was hard to top that.

She is doing to Wilberforce the same she is doing to Brutus. Unfortunately, many do this no matter the subject: eggs, religion, politics, sports, life, death, right, wrong, games, fun, male, female, …

That’s OK Brutus, I’m my niece’s favorite aunt. Oh, and I’m her only aunt. :-)

Captain Solo?!
