    Sort of Goofy, but interesting... WWII radio station

    I am glad you fellows seem to be enjoying it.

    I guess being a slack arsed web surfing Cess-poolers pays off sometimes.

    I found this site a couple hours ago. Due to selfessness...er... research I listened and waited a while to see if it was worth posting.

    Whats odd is we have been listining to it at work now for several hours. I guess that is a benifit of being in the IT dept. and surrounded by geeks.

    Umm.. this is interesting.

    I wonder how much of the German's ability to cross bad terrain was due to the experience of the drivers though? I go off roading with some friends now and again. Most are using the same equipment (old jeeps), but there are some drivers that just know how to drive and cross rough terrain.

    just my .02

    Found this WWII music and propaganda station while wandering around the web today..

    Now I believe you may have to use Winamp to hear it. Winamp is a free download.

    the address is 198.76.133.133:8000

    Can also find it on the winamp web site.

    www.winamp.com

    For example: right now a speech by Mussolini is on. Kind of interesting. Oh, and they seem to cover both sides of the war effort. A nice song making fun of Aldolf just went off.

    Picking up weapons from dead enemy

    Also,

    If you notice. Your infantry never runs out of ammo. The lowest they will go is to a "Low" ammo state. This makes them kind of usless for an offensive role. But leaves them enough ammo to defend themselves. I believe this is suppose to represent scavaging. Your troops can scavage enough to remain armed and protected. But not enough to continue on the offensive.

    THE BLOODY PENG CHALLENGE THREAD: ESCAPE FROM DOWNUNDER

    Tomb updates:

    Stuka-win

    OGSF-loss

    Berli-win

    Croda-loss

    Jshandorf-win

    Hiram-loss

    jd-win

    ninjis-loss

    David-win

    Babra-loss

    Games in progress.

    OGSF... He is surrounded, looks like he is stacking all of his men like firewood under his last victory location. I guess I need to apply a litle fire.

    Berli... Sigh, He thinks I am whining about his tigers and heavy artillery. Nay, I am whining about my total lack of defense! No matter. I may lose, but men know how to go down fighting (they have had practice)

    Germanboy... Didn't notice the turn sent back until today. Guess it is time to continue the skeet shoot.

    Ummm... I believe those are all of the pool games I have going at the moment. I guess I take my leave now, until I find it is time to bless you with some more knowledge from the Lorak.

    Ahh, as tomb keeper and messenger, I have a umm... message.

    Now for the message..........

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>by Fionn:

    Well apart from the fact that I detest fish and thumb sucking Speedy's taunts are as accurate and effective as ever. Unfortunately I have a policy of not mercilessly crushing or disagreeing with the mentally unstable ( a position adopted after meeting a certain S.C. on this forum), congenitally idiotic, those suffering the neurological sequelae of tertiary syphillis or immature children.

    Given these simple rules to live by it should be obvious that an immature, mentally unstable, congenitally malformed idiot child of syphillitics shouldn't expect a game. IOW Numbnuts, nice try but you still failed miserably. The only plus to this failure is that, by now, you must be almost inured to it. It is, after all, your habitual PBEM companion if reports regarding your ability are correct.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Believe My work here is done.

    Good, glad things have settled down.

    I just hope people didn't think I was an ass for stepping in. I just notice that some people read things the wrong way when they are directly involved.

    I figure sometimes a thrid party's take on things clears them up sometimes.

    no harm, no foul...

    Now... Kitty smile.gif are we going to see the mod? huh? huh? are we? please?

    I would attempt it. Except for the fact that I have not one artistic cell in my body.

    Jeff and Kitty,

    Once again misunderstanding blossums. Why I venture from the pool anymore is beyond me.

    Jeff,

    Bastables ask you to post the pic.(nice by the way)

    In bastables next post he says:

    "And now for Kittys next trick smile.gif"

    Kitty does some nice Mods and I believe Bastables was droping a hint.

    I don't think the picture was causing any grief. I think Kitty just wondered if she could get it in color so she would know how to paint it.

    Cripes It is always like walking on egg shells out here. I wish people would actualy take the time to read all the post before conclussions are drawn.

    Ahh... I have a little news to post.

    Fionn contacted me in an e-mail and ask that I pass this along. I will not post the whole thing... Just the important parts, manily for you celtophobes.

    So, keep your post there and be sure to let any of those bottom-dwelling ****-eaters in that thread know I'll take any of them who slag na Fianna off.

    If they try particularly hard I may even go public with AARs to commemorate the beatings I give them. wink.gif<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Brings a tear to my eye to see Fionn and his Fianna defending the homeland.

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Berli bleated:

    Let's see, Irish history can be summed up in two points.

    1... It took Giere's ancestors to bring them civilization<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Umm lets see...

    "Though the Viking invasions checked the normal development of Irish civilisation, undid what the efforts of successive centuries had realised, and gave Ireland such a shock that learning scarcely ever fully recovered from it. A brilliant intellectual life prevailed during that period and, in all the things that pertained to the mind, the Irish were far superior to thier invaders and Irish genius made itself felt upon them."

    "Irish sculpture, building, metal work, art, and ornament, flourished and influenced all the art of the scandinavians. It was Irish scholars who introduced the literature of Greece and Rome to the men of the north. In this, the influence on the early literature of the north men is unmistakable. Indeed the Norse were the imitators of the Irish, motives and forms of style are clearly of Irish origin or delveloped through Irish influence. The Irish were also of considerable influence in softening the wild Norsemen they came in contact with and It is the Irish to who the Norsemen owe thier Christianity."

    Humm... Now it makes sence that "they" brought the irish civilisation.. NOT!

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>2... They still have Pommies in their country... a problem the rest of the world has managed to solve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    The Pool has lasted a long time. I am not about to go into the troubles here.

    Hey I'm a stupid american! I know 200 years ago something happened. But since I'm ameican I am allowed to be a dumb ass. And I am a good one at that.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Ahh, yes. How could I ever think that you would bother to concern yourself with anything more than what is on must see TV this week.

    Herr Oberst,

    Obviously I didn't write that myself.

    What really suprises me is that someone like you with the intelligence of blind fruit fly would actualy know the Tao.

    T-Shirts?

    in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)

    Posted

    Hey Wilhammer

    PBEM game is fine by me. If you like you can just send a file to me at the address in my profile.

    As for meeting at the waffle house... That would be fine by me. I work on Hanes Mill road. So that one is the one I tend to eat at... sigh(every night). Only Problem might be that I work 4pm-12am(second shift.) But I can get away about any time I need to. SO if you come up with a date or time just let me know.

    As far as the T-shirt designs. I like the cover for CMBO too. But I wonder if it might not be too busy for the front of a shirt?

    I just wonder if something simple might not be a better way to go.

    Hell I think on of Max's joke POTD's from CMHQ would be pretty funny too.

    Mark IV, would you be willing then to try and update our game then? If so I could send you the file when I get home tonight. I just guess Germanboy would need to send you his password.Oh and if so, weather you need it zipped or not.

    Hey! and you could see just how much his smoking armor is clogging my roads!

    Lah,

    That was a nice try. But you really need to be a little more cryptic in your responses.

    Being just you will have an open mind.

    With an open mind you will be open-hearted.

    Being open-hearted you will act with grace,

    you will attain the divine.

    Being divine, you will be one with the Lorak.

    Being one with the Lorak is eternal.

    The body will die

    But the Lorak will never pass away.
