Lars

What’s this in my Inbox? Could it be an actual turn? Yes, yes it is. Well done, Hanns, my trusty Squire. My other Cesspool opponents could learn a thing or two from you and actually send a feckin turn. MrSpkr and Agua, Happy New Years, have one for the ditch, drive fast, pass on the shoulder, and take lots of chances. The rest of you gamey lot, to which I could probably also recommend the above prescription, just have a Happy New Years.

Oh dear God, what was I drinking last night? Uzo? Chianti? Sambuca? Hacker Pschorr Alt? Apfelkorn? Guinness? Purple Hooters? What’s that? All of them? Yeesh, time for a Bloody Mary. P.S. You all remind me of something I found in the woods steaming under the south end of a northbound moose. Merry feckin Christmas to the gamey lot of ya. {edited for the Uber one's sake, twice, dammit} [ 12-23-2001: Message edited by: Lars ] [ 12-23-2001: Message edited by: Lars ]</p>

Seanachai, Let’s shoot for Sherlock’s Home during January. I could use a little Welsh Rarebit, a good Beef Wellington, and a few dozen pints of Bitters. Should we get the usual round-robin of e-mails going?

What can you do, it’s early and they don’t put bourbon in my coffee on Thursdays. Were the Nazgul worth cheering for?

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Goanna: ...the G9 (thats' the good guys, you pillock not the ringwraiths)...<hr></blockquote> I’m pretty sure Berli was cheering for the Ringwraiths.

I believe you can do it under dial-up networking.

No, tis not I he's engaged with. I'm just feeling a little pissy because I just walked into a panzerscheck trap and lost 3 Shermans. And I was gloating so well too.

Mars has smiled upon you, enjoy it while you can. You'll be back to whining yourself soon enough!

Looks Fantastic. I can't wait.

Has the American Robin been taken out and the correct bird songs modeled?

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr> Originally posted by the “Wok Pot Pilot”: Lars, i'll tell you what, keep practicing against your amature friends and mabe i'll give you a game.<hr></blockquote> You’re too kind. I’ll keep practicing, you wait. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>it does'nt matter if you play gamey or ungammey,<hr></blockquote> Actually, I like a nice Gamay, and like you, it’s best served young.

Oh, you meant Polish. See what capitalization can do for you? <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>i don’t even need any tanks, or your welcomes. <hr></blockquote> And you’ll receive neither. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>i have an idea,<hr></blockquote> Be gentle with it, it’s in a strange place. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> when i get bored of taunting you Lars, then i'll give you a game,<hr></blockquote> Great, because I was bored with this about six quotes ago. But you keep trying. Maybe you'll come up with something original. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> that was i won't have to type anything at you,<hr></blockquote> Hope does spring eternal. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> your strategies alone will be self imposed taunts against yourself. <hr></blockquote> And they will be far funnier than anything you’ve written so far.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Iron Chef Sakai: i don't think anyone here is very good at cm anyway.<hr></blockquote> Wait, what’s this? A glimmer of hope! He got one thing right! And it’s almost a taunt! Could it be saved with a little polishing? Could it be directed at an actual individual? Could the “Wok Pot Pilot” be catching on? Nah, nevermind.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Seanachai: How did you pillocks let him get away with it?!<hr></blockquote> Because my liver started to give out on turn 28 of our match-up.

Since this seems to be turning into the ”Bon Appitit” thread, I’d like to point out that I had a roast beef sandwich, a bag of chips, and a can of pop for lunch. Idjits.

Haven't we done this before?

An AAR of a different kind today, As part of the duties of a Knigget is to be sure his Squire is on the right path to true Cessdom and Ubergaminess, and not to fall into the abyss that is CombatGeneral, funnyman, and the Iron Chef, I took it upon myself to visit Hanns (and the lovely Sasha) at his place of gainful employment. This is not your local VFW. This place had more leather than most biker bars that I’ve been in. And these people weren’t afraid to use it, either. Nice warehouse ambiance, large dance floor, gyrating scantily clad women in cages and some rather peculiar activities going on upstairs. The people watching was truly educational. In fact, I believe I saw Seanachai out on the dance floor. And the guy wearing nothing but a shirt and white underwear could only have been Peng. I didn’t spot Berli, though he might have been upstairs supervising the dripping of hot candle wax onto some poor lass tied to a bench. Hanns graciously offered to fix me up with a rather nice looking woman. This should have set off all alarm bells, but it didn’t. Fortunately, Hanns informed me that it was, in fact, a man (Nice ass, he must work out). Oh yes, Hanns is gamey alright. {edited cuz it's early and I was out late) [ 12-14-2001: Message edited by: Lars ]</p>

Doesn't sound like heat is causing the problem. But take the case cover off and see if that helps. Actually, I've yet to even put mine on. Also, check to be sure you are running the latest graphics drivers or go back to the reference drivers. If you're running DirectX8.0a that might be conflicting with old graphics drivers. At least that was my problem anyway. Oh, is the fan even running on the graphics card?

BTW, if you look at the river from the OTHER direction, it does indeed run downhill.
