I am returneded from a week in rainy Tacoma ... and I'm off for a week in Colorado on Sunday.
Could be worse ... I could be here reading this drivel.

Oh I think you're reading too much into that Boo Radley ... what makes you think anything he says is reasoned?What exactly is the correlation, in your teeny, tiny brain, between having a cold and having a hot water heater? Are you implying that people with functioning hot water heaters do not catch cold? Is there some statistical relationship between viral infection susceptibility and the availability of hot water?Please enlighten us, Michael, because we'd all LOVE to hear your reasoning on this.

You know Michael I don't often say this, for obvious reasons, but you hit the nail on the head. Now if you could just hit Stuka on the head."Shaftway"...how appropriate.Michael

Whatever ...Go Big Blue!Joe

Admit it Stuka, when you saw those shots you immediately bought the game.It seems you are holding yourself more than the game ever could.Joe

Don't deny it Boo Radley, if you hadn't taken an arrow to the knee you'd be out there adventuring with the ... well, not the BEST, but certainly with the average.So, are you a functioning nutter? I mean, can you go out in the real world and work and buy groceries and gas up the car like regular people, or have you gone completely around the bend?Just curious.
There's no shame in being an assistant to Belethor of Belethor's General Goods ... it IS annoying when you constantly remind everyone that you work with Belethor at Belethor's General Goods ... got it, got it the first dozen times you told me.

Foul Temptress!! Do not confuse me with the other fantasy-role playing weirdos you commune with online.
Why is it you always take the character of Elfin princess? Do you like to think of yourself as a doe-eyed, large breasted pixie with pointed ears?
No, you're thinking of my loyal and trusty Housecarl Lydia who accompanies me on every quest ...
Or perhaps my lovely and talented game wife, Karita ...
Or even my other Housecarl in Solitude, Jardis ...
Odd how this game has such a hold on me ...

Now Stuka, there's no need to hide it any longer ... you are ALSO Dovahkiin, Dragon Born and I acknowledge you with the traditional shout of FUS RO DAH!...you know it's OFJ's gums working overtime.How do I know that you play the game? Come now, all one has to do is Google "Skyrim Cheats" and page after page comes up that allow a player with less than the normal amount of honor to win consistently without effort or ability. Of course I prefer to play the game honestly but not all feel that way.
Why it's tailor-made for you!

No Michael, as you know only too well, the difference between arrows is small but significant. If you let a giant get within striking distance it's all over but the shouting as you get literally launched into the sky.Sure, Joe. Now why don't you just sit down here and try to be calm until the nice nursie gets here with your feel goodies. Everything's going to be all right.Michael
Your best tactic is the stealthy distance kill and for that you need a superb bow and the best arrows gold can buy and that means Daedric arrows. Where do you buy yours? I've only found two sources where you can at least hope to find them on a semi-regular basis. The first is, of course, the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun and the second is the Fletcher in Solitude.

I know Boo Radley, I know ... and I'm sure I'll feel a twinge of guilt when that Ancient Dragon swoops down to grab you, lifts you up by your arms to a couple of hundred feet and then drops you to "tenderize" the meal. The guilt will be because I could have saved you ... quite easily in fact, but didn't because ... well, you would be too far behind me and, having taken an arrow to the knee, you wouldn't be able to run away fast enough.Well... um... good luck with all that, Joe! You know we're all behind you on this. Very far behind you. Watching.I keep telling you that there's a time and a place for gathering rocks but it isn't on an open plain when you hear that telltale flapping above you. And, of course, there's no profit in plain old rocks but you continue to insist on "mining" every rock you see without paying attention to those with the stippled pattern that indicates some value.
Also I may not have enough Daedric arrows and there are standards to be maintained when fighting an Ancient Dragon, a crummy Blood Dragon sure, I'd use Iron arrows for that but I'd be drummed out of the Blades for using Iron arrows on an Ancient Dragon ... Michael will understand of course.

I do have a Daedric BOW ... it's a deadly creation let me tell you. It required Ebony ingots and a Daedric Heart, then I improved it with more ebony ingots and finally enchanted it with dual enchantments of Flame and Soul Trap. It's pretty much maxed out at this point ... one shot, one kill say I.Joe used to have a Daedric zither, but he could never keep it in tune.I wanted to engrave it with "Boo's Bane" but apparently you can't find a single engraver in all of Skyrim.
The problem is that finding Daedric arrows is difficult. I can usually keep a solid inventory of Ebony arrows but they're just not quite the same are they. And, as Michael is well aware, for some reason you can't craft arrows in Skyrim, heaven knows why.

You not only get points (Level 58 currently) but you get gold ... GOLD I say, and jewels that even a lousy lapidairyist would drool over.So do you get points in that Skyrimjob game you play? Or do just get power ups and stuff like that?Of course in your case the drool is pretty much a constant state of affairs.
Joe
-
Well the good news is that you will likely score SOME points this time.Actually, I just discovered that Stukey-Pookie and I are both defending and both attacking! It's a madhouse, a madhouse, I tells ya. The scenario designer (And I use the term in "air quotes" put both of us right beside the VL. So, for 20 turns or until one of us is mostly dead, we'll stand there at point blank range and just shoot each other.Doesn't that sound interesting?????
Joe
-
Not 1/2 as surprising as the next ass-whipping you've got coming up in...oh, 20+ turns or so.
It's going to take you 20 (or more) turns? You gonna handicap yourself by not looking at his forces ahead of time?
Joe

P.S. Before the grammer nazis get up on their little hind legs and start yapping, I know I spelt 'genius' wrong. Deal with it...
You also spelled Stuka wrong ... it should be spelled "Complete Idiot and Resident Buffoon."
Joe

Sorry ... what?You mean this kind of victory?
And this kind?
I wont post the traditional Australia day vegemite bikini wrestling photos though I don't think your pacemaker could handle them.

What does Australia Day celebrate? The arrival of the convicts or the victory of the wildlife over the convicts?HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!! W00t!!!!!Joe

Well I wrote that in response to your question and as is usually the case when you have to explain something to someone who is "less gifted" you have to go into more depth with the answer in the hopes that some of it will actually stick.So many words, so little sense...Michael
Joe

Yeeessss ... that would be ONE interpretation of a result that showed the utter and complete incompetence on the part of both players to score even one crummy point.Nidan1 and I had a PERFECT draw in out last game. Absolutely perfect. 0 to 0.We are soooooo freakin' good!
Well done ... I suppose.

The Bossa Nova is no longer Boss ... it may be Nova since Nova is Latin for new. So if it's an old Bossa then it can't be new and therefore can't be Nova.I've noticed that nobody blames it on the Bossa Nova any more. Is that progress or what?Michael

And one can only speculate with a shudder how much he would stink when not on ice but rather, as is his usual state, on the frying hot griddle that is the Middle East.I'm happy that Lady Lydia's surgery went well.You, on the other hand, stink on ice.
I hope the good Lady Lydia didn't have her sense of smell fixed ... that would surely put the kibosh on the whole deal.

Excellent, tell the former Ms. Shaw that her extended family is pleased with her recovery.PS. for those in the know the GLBVS had a successful op and is resting well, hence I can watch SX racing an ddrink bourbon unimpeded,,,w00t!As to you ... "ddrink" ... yes, apparently you are unimpeded though not unimpaired.

I'll cut you some slack, a little mind you, because you live in Fredericksburg.Joe, I have been around plenty long enough and know exactly what it is all about. I pace myself on posting, averaging 2 or 3 missives a year. Having said that, and having reached my post limit for 2012... you can SOD OFF!Cheers

He can never die and is never wrong.If you don't know what the Peng Challenge Thread is all about then follow the gracious advice we give all who venture into its sacred realm ... SOD OFF!
