Although they apparently have tossed that in to the mix as well. :P
No, my complaint is that they started with A, went thru B, C and D,
introduced E, made up an F that invalidates A, G came flying in from left
field, H poked its nose in, ran and hid in the corner, I snuck in and
assassinated C, D and G, then J tried to act like B and F were its best
buddies while they were going "who the bleep are you?", K, L and M tried
to
start a whole new show, and so on. There's making up the story as you
tell
it and then there's pulling multi-colored fecal matter out of your
posterior.
