    The Peng Challenge Thread: We Were Here When It All Began

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    We stand on the shoulders of giants. And though the giants may have passed into another world, their shoulders lift us up still. I'm here to pay my humble respects to  the Kannigets of old, whether they walk the Earth or lie in it. You, and those like you, create the moments that make this world the wonder that it is.

    За тех, кого нет с нами...

    The Peng Challenge Thread The Chunder in Red Thunder!

    Things change, and yet remain the same.

    There was, upon a time, a great and worthy place. It existed between the 'Everyday', and the 'What a Strange Place'. People posted there. Some, by choice, were given over to strangeness, and some simply wondered.

    If you have been here, you know where you are. If you think you know where you are, then you actually know nothing.

    THE PENG CHALLENGE THREAD WOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BY FOX TV AFTER 3OO POSTS.

    But that's not where you are, is it? I'm pretty sure there are no 'new' posters here. Probably not for a long time. Why would there be? Nothing to draw them in.

    Except this. We are one of the longest running Threads anywhere.

    Here, you will encounter it all. Mythology, magic, abuse, mockery. Song and poetry. Hatred of the Norwegians, Swedes and Finns! C'mon, fer chrissake! EVERYONE hates the Squareheads!

    And yet, here...you will come to grips with all your hatreds. And you will, one by one, put them aside. Because, here, as you learn to understand the Peng Challenge, you will learn to understand those you've always despised.

    For some of you, that will be your father (quite a lot of you bastards, I'm willing to bet), and for some of you, your mother. Some of you will despise some, or all of your siblings.

    But here in the Peng Challenge Thread, we're going to take you, by the process of SERIOUSLY DESPISING A NEW BROTHERHOOD OF USELESS FECKS, to an acceptance of the people who've, hopefully, loved you all your lives. And then you can embrace them.

    So, don't worry about that Bad Christmas with your parents, when your brother came out as gay, or the year your sister admitted she'd been working as a prostitute for the last three years, or when your father admitted he'd been screwing your 18 year old cousin for the last 2 years.

    Because, if you qualify as a Knight of the Peng Challenge Thread, you can rest assured of one thing. We hate you. And we'll never go back on the promise of that.

    I thought you'd carked it. Made me sad. Now that you're here, you make me mad, grandma Steve.

    Will The Peng Challenge Play Better If The SSN's Read The Manual?

    Oh well, no takers. I will just have play hotseat with the 90 year old grandmother sitting next to me on the plane. At least she'll provide a challenge. I'll SOD OFF now. (I say that becuase it seems to make you giggle).

    Don't worry, I'll check in whan the plane gets in to Boston in about 20 hours.

    You know, I was an analyst once. If that's not an insult, I don't know what is.

    Oh, and I'll see your 20 hours and raise you another 20, flying NZ-Azerbaijan (Wellington/Auckland/Los Angeles/Frankfurt/Baku).

    The Irony - I finally find a job that has no internet blocking of any kind, but it keeps me too busy to post! At least this job will mean the end of anal-yst jokes.

    NG, Welcome back! Funnily enough, I'm heading out that way in October. Two weeks in Azerbajan for work, right on the border with Iran (aren't I the lucky one - if you're out that way "dismantling" enrichment facilities, do pop in).

    Almost forgot, Sir Sir 37mm- you are a pansy. If your computer melted down, you should simply stick one finger down the broadband socket and the other down the power one - you'll be up and running in no time.

    He wanted you all to know.

    I for one will be glad when he's back. Seems he'll be less likely to destroy any laptops.

    And here I was thinking there's never any good news in the MBT.
