    Joe, has he played Jabos! yet?

    Argghhh...always with the "Perfect Squire" thing...kicks a rock...hits a passed out Iskander in the head...I would have been his favorite if I could've got an extra 5 pages out of "Jabos!, the most sinister scenario ever?"

    I do so hope that our little discussion of this matter has ameliorated any questions you may have harbored regarding your sig line.

    Your Lord, Liege and Master,

    Joe

    Joe, since Papa doesn't appreciate what he has, can I have his Stenographer?

    Twit.

    Inquisition and trial are two different things.

    Trial... run by Joe Shaw, Justicar. Includes stenographers.

    Inquisition... run by Meeks Grand Inquisitor. Includes varoius body parts scattered about, hamsters and, of course, the Brick</font>

    Your friend,

    Oh boy...oh boy...oh boy...

    ATTENTION: SSNs, here follows a lesson of the MBT! One of the great traditions of the pool is the Inquisition also known as a trial!

    I nominate MrSpnkr to bring charges as prosecutor against Gaylord Focker. Seanachai to represent the defendent. Both will argue before the right honorable Sir Joe Shaw.

    And most important.....I got first choice of the Stenographers!!!!!

    edited to get the names correct in the court papers...

    Tapes of original ABC shows

    International Roast (if you have to drink instant, ours seems to be preferred)

    6 packs of REAL Australian beer like Boags, Cascade, Carlton Draft,etc, which are not typically allowed for export lest we run out.

    Okay, I am sorry I ever brought it up. Please stop. Or as Hiram would say: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

    I can't take anymore of your inance ramblings about consumer products not found outside of your horrid little (metaphorically not geographically) country...So please Seanachi, as much as I hate to say this, another sing-song please. Anything to drown out these damned Aussies...

    Yeah, but it's something like, "Our liege is a fumbling twit who can't recall what side he's playing in a pbem, doesn't send you a fecking turn for weeks and weeks, then finally (after much prodding and abuse) sends you back the same goddam file you sent him weeks and weeks ago, but only after first whining that he had already sent said incorrect file, when in fact he had merely confused his in-box with his out-box (down, Bauhaus!)," except in Latin or somefink.

    PS: Joe, send me the right feckin' turn, already! You, too, jdmorse. I see you skulking back there.</font>

    Boo Radley makes an excellent point. Can anyone name anything of value coming out of the former Penal {down Bauhaus [by the way, I haven't seen too many Bauhaus references here lately, oh for the good old days], that is not what Penal means...} colony. Let me start the list:

    1) Crocodile Dundee

    2) The Wiggles

    3) The Crocodile Hunter

    4) The toilet bowl effect (you know, goes the wrong way around)

    5) Mel Gibson...strike that, he was born in the U.S.

    6) .......any others?

    Oh, sorry. You probably want a little back story first.

    I was upstairs working on a 34mm piece of citrine I'm cutting and got up to go downstairs to replenish my wine glass.

    (and no, this is not about a drinking problem. I don't happen to have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem. Anyhoo...)

    As I'm going down the stairs I hear this obnoxiously chipper voice go...I don't even know if I can repeat it...OK, here goes (gulp)... <big>"CRIKEY!"</BIG> Oh God, that hurt.

    Yes, my wife, the lovely and charming, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed™ was watching The Crocodile Hunter! AND SHE WASN'T MAKING FUN OF IT, EITHER! I think she may actually have a thing for that gap-toothed, coulotte wearing, John Denver look-a-like, winking wanker. Oh the shame!

    But I knew I could tell you all because I know what thoughtful, caring, nurturing tender souls you are.

    So is there any kind of support group for this kind of thing, or do you think we can stage an intervention? Maybe get her into EST or somefink.

    I'm just so confused...

    I have a solution. I will mail you all of my kid's Wiggles tapes and kill two birds with one stone.

    First, she will be entranced by Ozzielands other finest export, while I will have the prime colored simpletons out of my house!

    My dear dalem, a girl is one of the most precious gifts a man can be given. Only those who work in network development or build plastic models, or huff paint from their $300 airbrush system would not know this...uh, dalem it just struck me...you work for a telecom and...ahem. Sorry, no more to see here, move along, nothing to see....

    Brilliant, my former liege. What beautiful prose. Course when you are as old as that, talking like an Englishman with lace at his neck and goat hair piled high atop his head must come naturally.

    Ps Don't one of you reprobates start a new thread around #300?
