Still haven't gotten an answer to the question: What about "Traitors" instead of "Rebels."

Or is it political correctness for me, but not thee.

The 'Running Traitors' of UNLV just doesn't have a good ring to it.

Rebel: A person who rises in armed resistance against an established government or ruler.

Traitor: A person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc.

While some of the Rebels might have been traitors, "Rebels" is the better word to describe the Confederates. I'm surprised you didn't' know that.

That guy is Eric. He gained his original fame as being a regular caller to the Howard Stern show. Howard first called him "Eric the midget", which made Eric very mad. Howard was indirectly responsible for getting Eric a few very small acting gigs so Eric wanted to be called "Eric the Actor". Eric realized later on that "Eric the Actor" is not a recognized name by many producers, so Eric went back to "Eric the Midget".

Eric is confined to a wheel chair and has many of the physical problems associated with dwarves. He has to periodically use oxygen and has lived beyond his predicted life span.


Thanks for the info.I had never heard of Eric.Never listen to Stern,to rude and crude for my liking.I also thought the avatar was Chilcoot.

No, Eric is definitely not Chilcoot. Eric would not be able to write or research like Chilcoot. On the other hand Eric would not disrupt threads like Chilcoot.
