USA! USA! USA! If you've got room for more ugly Americans, then I'd love to play. Can the my current game raping Pawbroon's frenchies count? HA HA PAWBROON!! ------------------ "Nuts!" [This message has been edited by Croda (edited 10-16-2000).]

Allright, the long overdue Croda update (mock cheering from the peanut gallery): ChupaChupaChupaChupaChupaChameleon: The platoon you think is running, is not running, it is redeploying to a more demonstrative position. The platoon that will be running is the group you tried to "stealthily" sneak around my flank. You will notice it's location by the smoke pouring off of your flaming halftrack. That thing's burning so much it's probably visible from space. And the spread out squad that you have there will soon be cut to pieces by the nasty things I have on that hill. And as for you scaring my Sherman? Let me tell you something...area fire that exhausts your ammo and does nothing more than give my tank crews a nice massage is far from scary. I'll tell you what, you keep digging that whole deeper, I'll watch. When you think I've had enough you let me know. In the meantime, I'll be dismantling the buildings between your men and my armor. I suggest you retreat now. Hiram "Weekend Warrior" Sedai: Hiram learned a great lesson in the art of the ambush this weekend. He lost 2 pieces of armor in 1 turn to a fantastic AT ambush. Looks to me like you've got 1 tank left, and he won't last long. Then it's just a matter of chewing up your infantry...and that was just turn 2. Elvis: Not sure where you get the idea that I'm going down in flames...although I wish you could see my situation...you'd laugh. Granted you don't know my disposition, but suffice it so say that there's a KT that I would have liked to have worked you over with who's stuck in the mud in an area that won't allow him to see any piece of this fight. oh the pain! But seeing as your little men are cowering in their foxholes, and those AT guns you have are shrinking like color-forms...I don't see a big win in your future. Stuka: It's foggy out today, it's foggy out today, hi-ho the derry-o it's foggy out today. And that is the report from the Knight's Challenge. No contact. Meeks: I loathe you more than Lorak. Again, my forces are bested by the army of rodentia, and it pisses me off really bad. Battle #3 has been issued, my axis forces attacking his allied defenses. Naturally very hilly, a seemingly custom made map for defending. High hills overlook narrow valleys. There will be some long-distance fighting to be sure. I'll send this one back as soon as I figure out exactly where I want my men to die. PawBroon: "Tearing you a new one." I believe that is how you phrased it in the mail you sent me. Your left is collapsing (and that TD and utility car will soon be off the map if you reverse them anymore...oh, maybe that's the plan), your right is being worked over by my armor, and soon the twain SHALL meet, and that armored car you have in the middle will not be enough to stop it (by the way...he's going to die this next turn too. Just wanted to give you advance notice so that you could prepare the letters to the next of kin). mensch: I'm waiting on you buddy. You've got the upper hand, after sending my Tiger crew to the hell of being burned alive inside a hulking mass of scrap metal. Let's see if you can exploit the gap there. Send that file. I can't remember if I'm kicking the arse of anyone else right now...well I am, but no Cesspooligans that I can think of. And as for you ridiculous Cesspool newbies (most of whom seem to have names that end in head for some odd reason), I am the character that you do not want to mess with. Pick fights with the other morons, but stand clear of me, for we great commanders are subtle and quick to anger! I shall dispatch you all to the Hell of Being Skinned Alive with a Cheese Grater! ------------------ "Nuts!"

and to think I (of all people) actually tried to post seriously to this thread...geeez. I hope you guys get locked up and they throw away the key! ------------------ "Nuts!"

It figures I'd guess the wrong one...thanks for the help ------------------ "Nuts!"

Hey, while we're on the subject of quotes, let me add one from (uh-oh, brain fart) FDR, I believe. It's a favorite of mine: "It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points how the strong man stumbled or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and often comes up short again and again. "Who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold timid ones who know neither victory nor defeat." ------------------ "Nuts!"

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MrPeng: its not praise for me I want!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Peng, the humble. Let it ring from the mountains that from this day forward, Peng has asked for no more praise! Therefore, let him have none! Let the praise go to daring and courageous men who strive valiantly against worthwhile opponents. Mister Peng, I salute you for your Meekness! ------------------ "Nuts!"

I don't know...just a little bit of pee in someone's cornflakes is a tough road to hoe. But then to lose to someone from Scranton? Yuk! He's obviously sulking himself to sleep somewhere, he lost his thread, his match to Peng, and now he's staring down the barrel of Sneezyachai. He's probably playing QBs against the AI, 5,000 pts for him and 300 for the AI, so tha the can inflict lots of animated pain and try to shuffle his own inadequacies under the carpet. Or maybe he got hit by a car? Who knows? Anyway, we're all Very Proud of your teensy-weensy victory over Grand Master Meeks. Happy now? ------------------ "Nuts!"

Quick! Somebody push him in! ------------------ "Nuts!"

And stop posting this senseless drivel!! Kidding, of course. I think that there have been several threads lately debating topics that have no evidence that will support a victory on either side. The amount of armor that a 75mm shell can pierce has concrete evidence to support it. Whether or not the U.S. could have fought the Germans without the other Allies is all worthless conjecture that invariably ends up with insulting "my country is better than yours" posts. I feel the moderators have given leniency to these types of posts in the past, only to see them always come to the same end. So, being good moderators, when they see a fight getting ready to break out, they send the combatants home and close the bar for the night. Some of the topics that have been locked up lately boil down to ugly generalizations, and ugly comments between people, and that type of thing is only supposed to happen in the Cesspool! Hope that helps you a little. ------------------ "Nuts!"

Gettysburg = fantastic. 2nd Maine defending Little Round Top, and Colonel Chamberlain (head bowed in reverence) calling for the bayonet charge...my heart leaps everytime, which brings me to perhaps my alltime favorite movie... Glory! - A great account of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the first all-black regiment to fight. A wonderfully told story of men earning the right to be called men, on many levels. ------------------ "Nuts!"

No words today from the Meek one. Perhaps he's ashamed and won't show his ugly self back in here unless he beats old SeeN'Say. The board is noticeably more tranquil without him. Could be that it becomes "the reflecting pool" if the ugliness doesn't pick up. ------------------ "Nuts!"

Amen Rommel you magnificent sonuvabitch, I READ YOUR BOOK! Not sure if he really said that one or not, but I like it anyway. ------------------ "Nuts!"

And if you know what's good for you, you'll listen to my suggestion. You're just mad that you didn't think of it yourself. And Mess, that wasn't the trick that she sent me, though I'll admit it is much more devious (and interresting) than the ones she shared with me. I can't blame you for losing now...well, yes actually I still can, but I got all of my anger out on German Prepubescent. Send that turn back to me so I can go about beating you in ways that don't include the use of my scrap heap Tiger. and Stuka-boy, send me that file back. If we can get a few more turns in here soon, our men may see battle before Christmas. ------------------ "Nuts!" [This message has been edited by Croda (edited 10-13-2000).]

Your wife taught me a few tricks on how to beat you good...I've got them waiting for you on the other side of the map. ------------------ "Nuts!"

For the Great Unholy and Allmighty Joust of Cleansing and Retribution, I concur with our long-winded SenSai, and feel that an all-infantry spectacular is in order, though I feel that the size of the forces should be battalion in strength, and the weather should be the same evil haze that was given Stuka and I for our Squirely Joust: Dark as sackcloth and Foggier than PawBroon's English. This will ultimately lead to 2 battaltions of infantry slugging it out at ultraclose range. The river will run red with the blood of cleansing. What say you? ------------------ "Nuts!"

A great view of after war life is "The Best Years of Our Lives." It shows 3 people returning home and how the have to learn to re-adjust. Great film. And how come no one mentioned the World War III epic, "Red Dawn?" ------------------ "Nuts!"

Mensch! Nice to see you rearing your ugly head once again! I thought you jumped off of a building after the loss to the wife. Now explain to me what happened in our last turn? How does my Tiger have your Cromwell all sized up, then still sized up, then triple checks his aim, then the Cromwell notices the Tiger, Tiger still making sure he has a kill shot, Cromwell takes aim, Tiger has a bratwurst, Cromell fires, Tiger crew becomes bratwurst. What's the deal there? Anyway, I have more tricks waiting for you, so please keep coming. ------------------ "Nuts!"

Well I appreciate that little scouting report, ChupaFett. What your little monologue has truly done, other than scare me {ooooo, jinkies! it's the ghost of old man Chuppy! let's get out of here, Scooby!}, is to show me how littl you actually know about my disposition. I have men right in front of you, and you don't even know it. There is a tank in town, yes you are correct (you'll see more of him later), and my SP has also seen better days, but the fact of the matter is that I hold the VL flag, I have better ground to fight on, and I'm not stoopid enough to open the Ark of the Covenant! So there! I will send you a little turn this evening. And oh, that artillerty? It wasn't just chewing up dirt, it was creating foxholes for my men from which to shoot your retreating forces after I've driven your line back. ------------------ "Nuts!"

Posted in two forums to support a general audience...original post in a separate, but here un-named, thread: -sniff sniff- just comparing scents... so how many people are on this side of the ball? 2? hmmm....who's to taunt? Let's stop the charade and get everyone together in the same pool like we had before. Kumbaya my lord, Kumbaya. The insanity of 2 cesspools is beyond me. Cesspoolnarock was hard on everyone, but if we all keep our cool, we can show topplement to this ordeal. now the reason that the other thread doesn't stink enough, is that there is one large hamster who typically orally defecates in the water, who hasn't appeared yet. If we can add that, we may be in business and have all of our topplements in order. The rest of the forum is chuckling and guffawing at our lack of cess-cohesion. 2 threads? Do you recall "Croda, you little sissyboy?" How we all disbanded that wonderful taunting thread for the legitimate cesspool? Should we change now and go with a 2 thread system? I think not. Let us choose a thread, and let the majority rule and get along with our lives. I vote a 24-hour window with closed windows. Whichever thread has the worst stench by this time tomorrow, becomes home. So let us muddy the waters with the bile and gall of our posts, and the venom dripping from out tongues, and may only the stankest survive. ------------------ "Nuts!"

Hiram, I'm not worried about you hurting me today...it's not the weekend. ------------------ "Nuts!"

I'm glad to see that I've started a movement. What you're missing is the 'Hi!' Segment like this: Hi, Old Peng Thread, wherever you are! ------------------ "Nuts!"

Don't you worry about me, PapaBroom. My guys know exactly where they're headed, and they have blood in their eyes. You now know from which direction to expect the attack, let's see if you can stop it. An update on my Squire Jousting match for Kaniggut standing with Stuka: Bor-ing. I'm still marching towards an area where confrontation is likely. I have to expect that Stuka is doing likewise. I can't see the grass I'm walking on it's so dark and foggy. I'm guessing that in these conditions, at least half of my conscripts will run away in the dark so they don't have to fight. The ones that will stay are too old to run. Oh, this is going to be ugly. ------------------ "Nuts!"
