Oh, and Lars, what's with all the Biblical quotes? Practicing up for another court appearance or something?

But it's an insightful and brooding look into man's inhumanity to man (and woman, and Russian cities, and trees, and flowers, and puppies and even lumps of concrete, for that matter). It takes a deep and philosophical look into the souls of men (as well as a deep and rather more physiological look into their abdomens, skulls, and the place where their limbs used to be). Finally, it is a comment on the human condition (at least in so far as it's wound up with tanks, machine-guns, explosions, ruins, and grievous bodily harm). I don't know what she could possibly object to so far as an evening of entertainment goes. Of course, I'm not concerned because that slack bugger Papa Khann always lays himself out on the floor with Dalem's pets draped all over himself, so I know I can get out the door before he does.

All this attention for the arrogant Horsemen, and now Rune's getting strokes as well? Bah! Why, it was only the actions of my Mortal Enemy Cabron66 and myself that even revealed the existence of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso! But who ever remembers us, eh? No one! I wish I had those Apocalypso buggers here right now, I'd give them all a horsewhipping!

What was it Cyrano said? One needs but three letters to write you down: a - s - s.

I'm sure that Berli will make absolutely no bones about transferring possession of your sig line over to me. And even though the agreement will be reached between Berli and I, it will still have to be signed and notarized in your blood. Berli's funny like that.

Yes, but his Real World GF is much nicer than our GF here. You should have seen the expression on her face after Lars made her sit through the Winter War movie we watched at the first get together at Dalem's House of Food and Beer. At the second meeting we watched 'Kelly's Heroes', and she perked up enough to tell us 'I hate all you guys, and you're really boring'. The war movie theme and talk is wearing her down. We do much better with her when we're all out on a boat.

Why bother with the qualifier?

I'm sorry, perhaps I'm misunderstanding you. As I read it right now from your above posts, you are basing this entire discussion on one play through of a single scenario? I don't think the modeling can be scrapped or seriously questioned on the basis of one play through of a single scenario by a single player. But perhaps I misunderstood you.

And the list just grows and grows. I guess we should honour you for the sheer number of things you've turned your hand to, however badly they've all turned out. It was a very nice day today, Lars. Is the ice off that sodding lake yet, or is that another thing that you've left hanging? Oh, and Lars, the title should have read: The Abomination of the Desolation.

Dalem, I saw your reply in the previous Thread, and you prance like an aging hooker trying to make meat that's long passed it's sell-by date looking appealing. Out of one side of your face you mock fools for the same offense that you can't wait to reward with tongue to your chosen fools on the other side . It's like watching the mask of Janus do something really, really...icky. But I forgive you. However, after Lars lies at my feet, well and truly slashed about his doublet and his person by my mighty sword, I must needs take issue with you, blade to blade, in combat most righteous. And, because of the fellowship that I feel for you, I will warn you that, when our blades are locked at the hilt, and we stand, face to face and with teeth gritted, I will kick you in the fork. It may not be completely honourable, and, as we all know, I am the very paragon of honour, but...I'm comfortable with it.

Well, I admit that soup isn't always my first cuppa, but knowing how to do good stocks and sauces is far more freaking important than anything you'll learn later. It is upon that bed of culinary granite that the sheer delight of the house of food will be built. If you've seen my photos, you'll know that I know of what I speak.

That's right, the wife is out of town, isn't she? Chew off your own foot. There's plenty of times in the last six months when I've thought of nothing else.

Does someone need a hug? Possibly the inconsistencies in behaviour this would lead to simply made coding it in of no importance. It would be hard to imagine a two man vehicle crew having the focus to watch prisoners while fighting their vehicle, so it would be unrealistic to be able to load prisoners up into a 'piggy bank', and then send it right back into combat, for example. Within the scope of a CM battle I can't imagine that it would be realistic behaviour to be loading vehicles with prisoners. They'd simply be put under guard somewhere as convenient as possible given the current combat situation.

I tried very hard, but I couldn't avoid finding this statement morally culpable. That would be one lunatic leftist group-hug thread compared to the several thousand right-wing jackal arse sniffing and tail wagging festival threads, then, eh? At least, Dalem, I avoided using some variation on the 'pot calling the kettle' cliche.

Everyone please note that the use of the term 'Abomination' is strictly the province of the Church of Seanachai, and unauthorized bandying it about may result in severe penalties. Whether Rune and his various 'whoopy cushion' scenarios should be considered 'Abominations in the Eyes of Seanachai' is still under review. Until such time as the Church makes an official pronouncement on Rune's status, please refrain from designating him as an 'Abomination'. Remember, here at the Church of Seanachai your Spiritual Needs are important to us, and will be addressed in the order in which they are received. Please remain dangling until Seanachai is available to manifest himself unto you.

I imagine he simply mis-typed 'Spandex'...

Probably because you're having a flashback. Beg all you want, I'm not putting on a wig and a mini-skirt, you demented Aussie bugger.

Dear God, you actually follow golf? Do you have to register before you can move into a decent neighbourhood? Oh, well, perhaps it's a sort of 'cultural baggage' phenomenon. With that in mind, then, a quick singsong for Axe2121 From the old sod to the new land We came over by the score We cut the ties and said goodbye And closed the old world door We settled on your praries In your cities and your towns There's another oatmeal savage Everytime you turn around Chorus: There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod We soon found our own kind Formed clubs and social nights And we practised on each other Just to keep our accents right For there's more tartan here Than in all the motherland We came 5000 miles To the gathering of the clans Chorus: There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod There's a bar in the rec room In the basement of our house A little shrine to Ballantynes Haig and famous Grouse There's a sprig of purple heather From the land that once was mine And Robbie's on the t-towel With the words to Auld Lang Syne Chorus: There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod Canada's been good to us We've a living and a home We've all got central heating here And most are on the phone I'm a citizen of both countries And very proud to be For the the thisle and the maple leaf Are the emblems of the free Chorus: There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod There's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod "The Old Sod" -Spirit of the West

Well, let's be fair and even-handed about this. How many here agree that, because neither could reach any sort of conclusion in their Blood Hamster Deathmatch, that Boggs and Boo should both have to suffer with sig lines written by myself? I leave it to the will of the people...such as they are.

A quick joke from a friend of mine: The difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers is that mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets.

A draw in a Blood Hamster Match? Dear God, you're both as weak as a beaker of urine from a 9 year old girl, which you not only resemble, but which probably figures rather disturbingly in your 'behind locked doors' personal lives. In the case of a Draw in a matter such as this, it's clear that I, as the Olde One of the Peng Challenge and recently resurrected from the dead Messiah of the Church of Seanachai, not to mention a really great guy, get to craft the sig lines of both of you wee, powerless tykes. I shall try and have them to you both by the weekend, and may the shame of them both cause the two of you humiliations galore.

I'd say that as long as it's only used against MrSpkr, it's a feature, not a bug. It's also the funniest thing I've heard of in a long time. Do it again, do it again!

They're prisoners, not day-trippers out for a bus tour of the war!

Sorry, but the image of both I and Mace on our knees, kissing each other's hands is just...wrong, somehow. Mace, how about if we give each other a simple, manly nod and excuse each other from the ring kissing ceremony?

We could save the corks from this Friday's French wines for you, Mr. River Runs Through It.
