  1. You know, I might like to get in on that action, Mu. But I'm a little
    confused as to what it is exactly. That you're not Chung?

    The problem with that is no one knows who "you" are. Chung at least has a web
    site, phone number, etc. We have a pretty good reason to believe Chung is at
    least who he says he is.

    Who do you say you are? You appear to be simply a variable usenet handle. I'm
    confused as to how anyone could prove or disprove anything about "you".

    Could you clarify this challenge a little more?

    That you are you is irrefutable.

    That Mu is not Chung is a proposition not well posed enough to allow either
    proof or disproof. I would dearly enjoy relieving you of the $10,000 but it
    is certainly safe if you cannot pose the proposition with enough specificity
    that it can be tested.

    "Mu" is simply a variable usenet handle. It cannot be associated with a real
    person... Hell, even I can post under that handle as demonstrated by this
    post. Maybe I'm you?

    It would be an interesting Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde relationship though,
    wouldn't it? Dr. Chung, the soft-spoken, passive-aggressive Baptist and Mr.
    Mu/Roose, the bitter, mendacious, trainer-wannabe buffoon, crying out for
    attention. There are well documented cases of individuals with personality
    disorders who acted like different people, independent of each other. The
    Mu side of Chung could well believe that he really *is* a sperate
    individual; even having separate friends. An interesting case study.

    Well, with mu/roose, all you have to do to prove he's Chung is to see the
    Truth that he is Chung. No proof is necessary. Just open your heart and you
    will see that mu/roose and Chung are the same.

    I want a piece of that $10,000, pal!

    Perhaps we could form a Syndicate and Mu would up the ante ;-) I'll bet
    Pastorio would be in for some.

    Oh we know Mu is not Chung and we know Mu is not you. Mu is a
    fictitious character and a sound emitted by cows.

    Uh-oh, now you've done it. He'll tell you all about the bet.

    While reading his description, think of the guy with the three little
    cups with the ball under one. He keeps shifting them around and you
    have to guess which one it's under. Mu_sicalChairs will present smoke,
    mirrors, sound and fury. You'll love it. Order the CD, it's good for
    hours of mirth.

    Looks like the "challenge" was nothing but a bunch of hot air in the end. Too
    bad, but not surprising.

    While reading his description,..

    Until you answer the questions regarding your quad bypass, your
    smoking, your obesity and why, with all the information known to you,
    by your own admission, you nearly killed yourself with a lousy diet,
    gluttony, excesses and no exercise, you can keep your hands off your
    keyboard and in your pants.

    It will be the only thing you will have left to play with, Cheffie.
    I'm no longer interested in your pitiful TROLLING and useless
    demagoguery.

    Oh, sure you are. That's why you keep replying.

    People laughing at your challenge again? Three cups and only one ball.
    Switch 'em around. COnfuse the spectators. Still, only one ball.

    Story of your life.
