<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: And Roborat is now officially the towel guy in the bathroom for the entire Pool. I have spoken. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> We have a bathroom?... in a cesspool? ... seems a little redundant, doesn't it? All my hard work, polishing the armour; repainting the camo on the tank when one of the other knights piss you off and send you on a drooling and raving rant; cleaning the hamster cages, and then having to fend off those little bastards when you traipse off to taunt the northern wildlife, and the reward I get is towelboy in the bathroom? In that case, I am going to have to put my eyes out, as I certainly don't want to witness what goes on in there, what with the noises, the sheep bleating, the hamsters squeeking, the bricks smacking soft flesh, the moans of pleasure, etc. I am already having nightmares just from the noises, actually observing the activities would be too much to endure. How about I get the womans bathroom, instead. yea, that's the ticket, much more interesting scenery, and a lot less work, what with only two users, although I'm sure I have seen croda and hiram slipping in, hand in hand, late at night. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by *Captain Foobar*: And roborat, where do you get off asking to be the doorman. I try imagining you dressed up in some epaulet laden monkey suit, but picturing your oafish visage in anything other than rags is enough to make me blow milk out of my nose. You constantly duck me in our 5 month Peng Thread challenge. Blah blah blah.. something about incompatable CM versions.Blah Blah Blah.. I am sick of your excuses, you squire-whore. What happened to Berlichtengensenden? I thought you were HIS squire? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Foobar, what the hell are you talking about? Let me see if I have this straight. You screw up YOUR game doing the beta patches and somehow lose the PBEM files. I resend the last, you can't load it. I, at great personal effort and time, reload older files until one can be saved and reloaded as a 1.24 file. I send that to you, you send me back not only a 1.05 file, but one that is your (allied) turn, not mine. So after all this, your screwups are somehow my fault!!! Bite me softly. And, for your information, I have again sent the file, converted to 1.1 format, and checked on my machine before I sent it. If it is still screwed up, I would suggest that you wipe your entire directory, and reinstall from scratch, because you have obviiously fouled something up in there. Better yet, find a little command called "format", and apply it to all your hard drives, don't worry, it's ok, don't bother backing up those shaved sheep jpegs you got from pNZer .... there, problem solved. As for your other questions: 1)I have always been Meeks's Squire, not the evil ones 2) (a)- Because I am his squire, and I should get some perk for having to put up with that indignity, and (- nobody else has asked yet. Besides, I have this cute little red velvet number picked out, big ass epaulets, gold piping, a new kilt in the (correct for my ancestry) royal stewart tartan, complete with a wolverine fur sporran, decorated with genuine Canadian gopher trim. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

Just one question, if Meeks is now the keeper of this thread, does that mean that I get to be the doorman, being his squire and all? Or how about custody of the dungeon?, ... priesthole? ... broom closet? ... wardrobe ... small hole in the floor ??? One other point, I am in agreement with some of the other posters, and I am not entirely sure of the veracity of the Meeks in the Arctic thing. I mean, I have been watching the local news, and there haven't been any reports of any depressed arctic foxes, despondent polar bears, or anything unusual with the local fauna. If Meeks had really been in the Arctic, there would have been an immediate mass exodus of wildlife to safer latitudes. And for the last time, there are no penguins in the arctic, wrong pole (sit down ..., ummm no, it's too easy). I hope someone devises a truly evil setup for Meeks TCP/IP cherry tonight. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: ... stuff ... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yea, I love you too. Glad you're back, just try and get back in form, ok? you are way to mellow.

Its late, I'm bored; question answered. And yes, Meeksies, I am glad you survived your little walkaboot, and apparently in fine humour too. Now go steal some kids dolly, or kick a dog, or croda, or do something else mean and petty to something equally small and insignificant. If it wasn't for these meanless posts, the pool would have fallen off the first page a few times today. At least it is more interesting reading than "bump", nest pas? ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

What? don't any of you east coaster types post from work!! This post is about (or aboot, for fellow Canadians) to fall off the board. I guess it's up to me. There, that's better now. Hey Hiram, what the h*** happened to your bald buzzards, (although the Gigants weren't much better, they could only score on defence). I usually don't watch 'murican footsball, but your bleating inspired me to take a peek. I'm cured now, I will stick to Canadian from now on, at least the games are interesting to watch. Just to justify this post, me and fubar are still attempting to play that stupid "welcome to hell" squire challenge. Between foosbar screwing up his upgrade to B24 and loosing the game files, and me forgetting to play it, due to extreme time between posts, this one is shaping up to beat the last squire game in total time required, and will be measured in geological epochs. Am also playing speedy, although I suspect he has been playing possum, and I am about to get flattened. I thought I was holding my own (don't bother, it's too easy), until I ventured onto the CMBO ladder section and saw his rating. ...come to mention it, foobar's pretty high on it too, I am in BIG trouble. Well, the boss is glaring at me, so time to pretend to work again. TTFN, and any other appropriate acronym (just a thought, why doesn't acronym have an acronym?) ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

One question, when trying to connect, would be be possible NOT to have it dump out to the main screen on an unsuccessful connect attempt. It is a minor quibble, I know, but it is a little irritating to have to make two clicks to get back in to try another attempt, or another address, also functions as a bump, I suppose.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by jshandorf: Actually if I recall correctly before Meesk left he mentioned that the trip to the South was off and that they were now going to the Artic. Jeff <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Oh, I must have missed that one, so what, some desk jockey decided, lets send them to the arctic, instead of the antarctic, they are both frozen wastes, nobody will even spot the change. I bet someone is in for a shock when that harmless penguin turns out to be a 500 pound polar bear. These critters are the only bear species that not only are not afraid of people, but considers them a food source. So that means that both Meeks and Mensch could be running around Canada unchaperoned. I have a bad feeling about this. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S [This message has been edited by Roborat (edited 01-05-2001).]

Hey Speedy, I could only wish that I was drunk, between visiting in-laws, typical Alberta winters, and screwing up my CM in trying to keep up with the viciously permutating and mutating tcp/ip beta patch. And then on top of everything else, my wife having this strange idea that I should be spending Christmas with my family!!. I finally got on line tonight to find that I was seven pages behind in the pool thread, although half of these were (sir) hiram's rantings (I also quickly put a word in with Canada Customs, hopefully they can turn back a certain 'pooler, who apparently is trying to infiltrate my fair county, just because he is from here doesn't mean that we have to let him back in). Overall, I think it would have been easier to tolerate the last week in an alcoholic stupor. Oh well, I think CM is working again. I will be saving our game in whatever is the latest version, and, assuming the crashes have been banished, send it your way.

I must getting acclimatized to those vile mormon wives, that last one I actually caught myself thinking that it wasn't bad looking.... AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Must find girlie magazine, and fast.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by *Captain Foobar*: You never liked me anyways. Roborat : where's my freakin turn, man? SHEESH <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Roborat checking in, just visiting the new digs, about time too, that commute around the world was killing me. Hey, phulebut, about time you surfaced from whatever rock you were hiding under (or sheep, more likely). In reference to above, I was about to ask you the same question. I just checked my sent file, it went your way some time ago. I will pretend to believe that you didn't get it and send it again. I am anxious to get that miserable, masochistic son of a scenario finished, maybe we can both get kniggeted for having the intestinal fortitude to just get through it, based on the precedent recently set by those other two recent inductees. In response to another recent post referencing my august personage, I haven't diappeared from the pool, just holding my breath, treading water, and perusing the inane blatherings therein. I wasn't posting merely as there weren't any posts worthy of my time to bother responding to. Unlike a certain Hiram type (sorry, SIR Hiram type) who scatters posts hither and yon, resembling muchly the liquid outpourings of an over excited terrier overdosing on chocolate. However, since you seem to miss me, I could, if desired, start posting incessantly, without, however, the charm and humour of the abovementioned Sir H's posts. It's up to you. Bye the way, my inner Croda was going for a stroll to get some air, and unfortunately (not) was caught unprotected by a platoon of my attack gophers, just returning from a patrol. The nasty thing tried to go escape up a tree, but fell out and was immediately run down and torn apart by the boys, it was a truely disturbing sight. I guess I am just going to have to requisition another one, perhaps this one will not smell like rancid beer and limburger cheese. Could I have an inner Hiram instead? at least it would be cute and cuddly, my inner Croda resembled Yoda's evil and even more incoherent brother. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

Damm it, just when I was recovering from the grannies from hell, UTAH boy resurfaces and catches me with the filters off. It will take weeks to get the systems purged and recalibrated again. And if one is going to steal G&S tunes for an anthem, I think that the Pirate King tune from Penzance would be a better source than that Pinafore drivel. I'll toss out a potential first line, just for inspirational purposes: "Oh, I am a penging king..." ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Horrido: Anyone remember Empire? Horrido<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Are you kidding, I still play it, classic basic wargame. It is the only game I played cross platform. Had it on the Amiga, then when I bowed to reality and transferred to PC, went out and found a PC copy of Empire, later upgraded to Empire Deluxe and tried Empire II (not nearly as good). Also loved the original Falcon on Amiga (actually finished the campaign on the hardest level) and 3.0 on PC. Haven't seen Tie Fighter mentioned too often, I consider it a top ten classic, regardless of genre. I went out and bought the win95 copy when the original wouldn't run after an upgrade. ------------------ "With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel." -G&S

What the heck is going on here, I check in and the post is about to fall off the page. What's the matter, all you yanks comatose from eating too much turkey and staring at football games all day??? And I suppose the rest of you are sleeping, or other silly things, like earning a living. Well, I accomplished two things at least, pull the post to the top of the board, and get a post on page 100. Oh, and post meaningless drivel, three things. Time to go now. I have nothing to say, and will defend to the death my right to say it.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Germanboy: Well if it isn't Roborat, Geoscience teacher par excellance coming to my rescue. Why thank you oh exalted one, finally proving that wherever you got your edukashun it is considered to be quite enough for the pupils to either know their basic fauna facts or read, obviously not both. Oh well, let me help you out then oh poor demented one. I said clearly that I hope somebody 'brings' a polar bear. This should imply to anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of ye olde English that I assume there is a need for it to be brought since (here getting into easier to understand trailer-park slang for the benefit of Roborat) it ain't there, buddy. I am a product of the German post-war education system and living proof that it stands head and shoulders above all others, if fed with intelligent students like me. No need to tell me obvious facts. Why don't you surprise me and tell me something I don't already know? BTW, if you want to feel like a fool now, that's quite okay with me, because you are one. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, as usual, germangit, you have totally missed the point, tell you what, next time I post, I will append a sarcasm warning, so you can attempt to understand the post. Now, I know you said "bring", however, that appeared to imply that you had some demented idea that they do live in the general area. And based on my experience with your "vaunted" german post-war educational system, that was a reasonable conclusion, as was demonstrated by the abovereferenced post. This is the same "educational" system that produces those demented twits who worship the primitive north american native lifestyle, and think everyone still lives in teepees communing with the local wildlife. These same idiots then come to Canada to get back to nature and inevitably either require our search and rescue teams to pick them out of the muskeg; get the crap beat out of them by the very natives they are trying to emulate; die of exposure because they have no idea what they hell they are doing; or get gored to death by a moose they were attempting to hug. Also, I am also well aware that many people, generally products of the US and UK educational systems, seem to think that polar bears do indeed live at the south pole (and that there are penguins at the north pole), and as such wouldn't get the irony and humour in your post (assuming I stretch my opinion of your intelligence far enough to consider that it was intentional). Although I suppose the back to nature thing isn't nearly as silly as the Japanese fascination with the Anne of Green Gables stories, but that at least doesn't get people killed. I still have nothing to say, and will defend to the death my right to say it.
