@Gamerman01:

Nothing worse than having a battle like this pending

I can think of a few.

For example, that was rough wheat….

I had second thoughts after I wrote that, so you know, but jeez

It’s just a figure of speech

Yes, Wheat had a rough 2nd round in an important battle, but he gets no sympathy from me.  I’ve been waiting for this for more than a year.
