Boo Radley Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Oh lordy, the memories. Do they hurt you, Mikey? Do they cause you pain? Deep, deep, unrelenting pain? It's sooooo nice to have you back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noba Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's sooooo nice to have you back. That's typical of you, everyone else wants him in front so they can punch him in the nose if required, but you... you want his back. Seen any Heath Ledger movies lately? Noba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 ...and goes a bit of the way to explain why good people keep their distance from you. You've got that right....why do you think Noba lives on the other side of the country from the rest of us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 ...why do you think Noba lives on the other side of the country from the rest of us? His maps are all upside down and he hasn't figured that out yet? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that only makes sense, when you live in a country where every single animal is trying to kill you and your primary spoken language is screaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that only makes sense, when you live in a country where every single animal is trying to kill you and your primary spoken language is screaming. Not really. It's only the snakes and spiders that make you sweat, and of course a wee bit unhappily lately, sharks. The rest is just harmless. Oh, perhaps Box Jellyfish, can't forget those little nasties... and perhaps the mosquitos, and cane toads.... Noba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The land where a mammal evolved with a poison claw. Ok, an early, primitive mammal. There's a few down here and they don't all wear clothes. Noba, fer example, 'cept without the cool claw, the clean personal habits and the duck's bill. We're top of the food chain, and we're not about to relinquish it to the spiders or snakes. Sharks and crocs bring some grief to holidaying ignorami, but a hidden glee to the locals - it helps if you believe the big signs that clearly show people being et by crocs, big red letters, exclamation marks - five or ten different languages go on those signs, but common sense doesn't. In the old days and further north and west where the hard people survived, the tourist often wouldn't be missed for two or three days. It was often the case that there would be no remains to be found (protein gets used quickly where you have a fauna able to support multiple apex predator species) - another reason to rejoice. If one of the clubs could swing it, a relative was invited to a wake and presented with a piece of crocodile, possibly the one that et the afflicted. Much beer and jollity. So the apex predators serve a purpose under the sun, and are in some sense a true measure of the wealth of the land we live in. The remainder of the extant organisms are mostly addled by heat or choice, and show the barest signs of sentience, let alone intellect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there we have it, a thumbnail (dirty one at that) description of the inhabitants of that barren and blasted land beneath the equator by one who lives there. QED and all that.

Boo Radley Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 ... multiple apex predator species... So, where everything is trying to eat everything else? Sounds like your typical Carnival Cruise to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 A Peng thread that's lasted a year?!? A few questions from someone returning from the hinterlands after a few years of sabbatical. What happened to Seanachai? What happened to Madmatt? I checked their profiles and neither has posted in years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costard Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Seanachai got lost on a canoe trip up his own fundament, I think Madmatt got a big serving of importance and can't be seen to mix with the likes of Emrys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 oooo, lookies who else showed up after a long hiatus! May I be the first to extend a hearty hello at dear old _Axe_?

Boo Radley Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 NOT ON MY WATCH, SPARKY! There shall be no TNT "slinging" in the Peng Challenge Thread while I am the Justicar!

mike_the_wino Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 NOT ON MY WATCH, SPARKY! *yawn* Soooo, I just need to wait until the end of your watch? What time is that? 3pm for nap time? 4:30 pm for the Early Bird/ AARP card holder special dinner deal? Or after Jeopardy? At the latest, you are off to bed by 8. And that's O-high-O time so 5pm for us West Coasters. Okay. I can wait until then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 *yawn* Soooo, I just need to wait until the end of your watch? You'll be waiting a long time, lad. A long time. A long, long, long time. The clock will tick, shadows will lengthen, seasons will change. Somewhere, a dog will bark. For I am always on watch. As the ONE AND TRUE Justicar of the Peng Challenge Thread, I remain forever vigilant and my shift never ends. The overtime I get is just... freaking AWESOME. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noba Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Which means nothing, as we are on EST. Bloviating buffoon. Well done there Boo, you had me searching for my Wiki link thinking... "He's made that word up!" But no; you hit upon the perfect word to describe Emrys (spelt, not bold). Congratulations, you have justified your existence if only for a very short while... Now when are you getting MG? Your poor pixeltruppen deserve an outcome, not to be left half dead. Noba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
