Label them Polish.

We'll see if you think there's anything serious about bass boats when you've gone through the plywood flooring and are standing in the bilges. Hmm, I kinda like that image. When you coming up to go on the pontoon boat again? {for the lubberly amongst you, there's no bilges on a pontoon boat…}

So you're saying we might be getting good death icons, eh? I think a flaming Strategic Bomber going across the map for another two or three hexes before crashing might be very cool.

Glad you enjoyed that. Seriously though Dave, this is a computer game. Why not have the icon change after the drop turn for a bit of eye candy? If they're in supply that is, otherwise replace with a tombstone.

Yep. But on a system that old, you just yank the smaller sticks if they're taking up slots. I mean, we're talking cheap.

Er, not exactly "friends". Yours is in the mail.

Well then Dave, perhaps assclouds for the turn they drop. After that, we just squint to see if the trousers are bloused.

Mine's slower than that. I suspect it'll run, just take longer for the AI turn. btw, you should go buy some more ram. Tis cheap these days.

[serious ON} I had a 1988 Tournament V-17. BassTracker makes a good aluminum boat for the price, but they use damn cheap plywood. Be prepared to replace the flooring and transom if buying used. All that carpeting keeps it wet if not covered, so it rots pretty quick. Just about when the warranty goes. Man, I really admire good engineering like that. Brings a smile to me heart to when you screw someone on a schedule. It's not hard to replace, but something to keep in mind. So if you're gonna get a used one, bring a pocket knife, look for the rot, and then beat them down on the price. You can redo the whole boat right for about $150 in TREATED plywood and new carpet. [serious OFF]

My advice. Lie. "No honey, the sails keep it stiffer so it doesn't roll". "They only sail in the lee of the islands". "It's 230 feet, much bigger than the cat we were on" Lie like a rug. Lie, lie, lie. Then stick a scopamine patch on her once you get there.

Now there's good news!

Yep. They did send the Amazing Grace out to Tahiti a couple of years ago. No word on whether they are going to return as that ship is in drydock for a good long while. But if they do, I'm on the plane… Btw, where you thinking of going? Got a few links. [ March 01, 2006, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: Lars ]

Pah, mere beginners. Needed: 1.- Compound Bow. 2 - Arrow. 3 - Estes rocket engine. 4 - Fuse. 5 - Duct tape. The real trick here is timing. It is much to be desired that the engine go off on the ascent.

That's a pretty good euphemism for not being able to read beyond a 3rd grade level. Who told it to you?

Buy it? Hell, they were giving the stuff away. Now, don't you feel sorry you didn't go you old hippie?

I'll have you know that's Captain Fernando, our Venezuelan skipper of the three-master in the background and lady killer extraordinaire. Welcome to the Caribbean, where anything goes. Nearest cop was four or five islands away. What the hell are you doing looking at my legs? Seen Brokeback Mountain twelve times this week or somefink?

Mooo... {answer may vary by country, county, or whether or not anyone is watching}

It does these days.

Q - What do paratroopers and bird **** have in common? A - They both fall from the sky.

Same here. Let's hope it runs on my old dinosaur or this is going to be a real expensive game!

Well, it's not like he uses it either.

All turns out. Even Boo's.

Credit card comes out in the morning at work! When the bride can't see me...

Heh, that'll shut them up. For a little while....

Don't forget to include the screenshot with the game settings.
