I think you made your point.. Okei, at the end, it's your ... glass, even if it's broken
"My" point is, that doesn't mean some guys here would like to.
But let's leave it there. I don't even want to think what the next comparison is going to be about.

Bainaman wrote: NOME -- Jeff King's sled dogs loped down Nome's main street under the full moon early yesterday, with hundreds of residents cheering their Iditarod victory under the burled arch.
The Alaskan musher won his fourth Iditarod title with what he called the best sled-dog team ever, completing the annual 1,770-kilometre race from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nome in 9 days 11 hours 11 minutes.
After a final rest on beds of straw, his dogs finished the final 35-kilometre leg of the Iditarod at 1 a.m.
"It's a wonderful feeling to have them come in this strong," King said after the race.
He arrived in the old gold-rush settlement three hours ahead of runner-up Doug Swingley.
King, from Denali, Alaska, joined Swingley, Martin Buser and Susan Butcher as four-time winners. Rick Swenson is the race's only five-time winner. At 50, King is also the oldest musher to win the world's longest sled-dog race.
"It's a very short list of some very talented people," King said. "I feel very proud to be on the same list with them."
For winning the Iditarod, King received $69,000 and a new truck. The top 30 finishers split a pot of $795,000, and $40,000 will be divided among the remaining arrivals to Nome.
King won the race in 1993, 1996 and 1998.
"It seemed like I was due. It's really good to be here again," King said.
The top Canadian was Hans Gatt of Atlin, B.C., in 34th place, still on the trail.
King and Swingley jockeyed for the lead during the third quarter of the Iditarod, but Swingley's team faded last Sunday as the two veteran mushers left the wind-whipped town of Unalakleet, the first race stop on the Bering Sea coast.
Swingley's bold push to catch King on the Yukon River likely sapped the energy of his team. King said he suspected Swingley might be fading as the teams exited the Yukon River at Kaltag.
Swingley won titles in 1995, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The Montana musher was the first person not from Alaska to win the Iditarod.
Eighty-three mushers started this year's race and 11 scratched. As of yesterday morning, 71 mushers were still working their way up the trail. The farthest back was rookie Ben Valks of Norway, who was in the checkpoint at Galena, about 725 kilometres from Nome.
Paul Gebhardt, who finished ninth last year, was racing in third place, followed by cancer survivor DeeDee Jonrowe, 51, who has raced 23 times and has 13 top-10 finishes. John Baker of Kotzebue was fifth.
Mushers will trickle into Nome until early next week.
Rookie Rachael Scdoris of Bend, Ore., could be the first legally blind musher to finish. Scdoris, 21, who scratched last year in her first attempt, was in 58th place yesterday near Kaltag. Tim Osmar, a top-20 finisher from last year, is guiding her along the trail.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, usually called the "Iditarod" and known as the "Last Great Race", is an annual dog sled race in Alaska, where mushers and teams of dogs cover more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) in less than two weeks, frequently through blizzards causing whiteout conditions, and sub-zero weather and gale-force winds which can cause the wind chill to reach −100° F (−75° C).
The trail runs through the U.S. state of Alaska, from the city of Anchorage in the southeast, up the Rainy Pass of the Alaska Range into the sparsely populated Interior, and then along the shore of the Bering Sea, finally reaching Nome in the northwest. The teams cross a harsh but starkly beautiful landscape under the canopy of the Northern Lights, through tundra and spruce forests, over hills and mountain passes, and across rivers.
While the start in Anchorage is in the middle of a large urban center, most of the route passes through widely-separated towns and villages, and small Athapaskan and Inuit settlements.
The Iditarod is regarded as a symbolic link to the early history of the state, and has many traditions commemorating the legacy of dog mushing, most famously the diphtheria serum run of 1925 which saved the children of Nome from the dyptheria. The race is also associated with the spirit of "America's Last Frontier", including the traits of perseverance, testing one's own limits, and an adventuresome spirit.
