One definition of the word means a trial where people form two lines and someone is forced to run between them as punishment. Picture it like the beginning of a football game where the team runs out on the field between two lines of cheerleaders. The difference is that in this case the cheerleaders aren't going rah-rah-rah, they're beating the guys ass.
The definition which applies here is that a gauntlet is another word for the glove on a suit of armor. In ye olden tymes, you'd challenge a knight to a duel by tossing your gauntlet on the ground in front of him. If he picked it up, you'd fight. If he ignored it, that meant he held you in so much contempt that he wouldn't even stoop so low as to fight you, or that he was a big wimp. Take your pick.
Hey miinkie, it looks like Lord Night is leaving you an opening. Fold, Fold, Fold.

I'm going to take GHoodsum by my birthday. EOC says April 19th, but I've got a pair of 1.4GHz Pentium III Tualatin-S's in a dual board just waiting for some time and another pair in the mail ready to go into an existing machine. I think I can get him by the 13th.
I'm throwing a Tea stained gauntlet down at Shortys feet. You have 60 days mate. I've picked Shorty because he is at the top of the page (101, page 2) and I want to get off page 2.
OMG Gr81!!!! You kicked it into overdrive while I have slumbered. My fall from folding grace has been precipitous as of late. Those I have haunted in the past are now coming back to haunt me. And there is Bothered behind you coming for me too.

There are two definitions for "gauntlet".
One definition of the word means a trial where people form two lines and someone is forced to run between them as punishment. Picture it like the beginning of a football game where the team runs out on the field between two lines of cheerleaders. The difference is that in this case the cheerleaders aren't going rah-rah-rah, they're beating the guys ass.
The definition which applies here is that a gauntlet is another word for the glove on a suit of armor. In ye olden tymes, you'd challenge a knight to a duel by tossing your gauntlet on the ground in front of him. If he picked it up, you'd fight. If he ignored it, that meant he held you in so much contempt that he wouldn't even stoop so low as to fight you, or that he was a big wimp. Take your pick.

Floont: ur moving up at least 2 per day ..... bejeeze
