Now I must protest....to besmirch the teaching qualities of my former Liege Boo Radley is way out of bounds. Now I know he tends to long windedness in the fashion of the Justicar , but after all he is a Junior Justicar .At least he isn't as long winded as Seanachai . I do remember as a young Squire, feeling the sting of his **BOOT** many times. As for Aussies...you are right in that case. So I guess we're even.

I didn't, you annoying little man, Speedy did.

Oh thats easy....The USS Archerfish, and she sank so quickly because they had no damage control systems in place.

Oooh, oooh, quizzes, I love them....was it the Shinano ??

I beg to differ Dear Lady in this particular rune monstrosity, the artillery spotter is implied to be calling in Naval Gunfire , hence Sir Speedy's reference to boats. Therefore the blame lies squarely where it should. Your loyalty is quite commendable, to be sure.

I believe you should be blamed for everything....don't you think that's fair?

Blame rune, not me.

A state which you have already achieved, however since your brain is still partially alive in the e.Coli medium, it hasn't dawned on you yet.

Why is the old thread still open? It seems that several boobs are still posting in it,(not myself of course...I'm way smarter than that). With all the pomp and circumstance required of any official request in the MBT, I hereby and in perpetude request that one stikkypixie, having achieved the proper level of serfdom, and having reached such lofty height, has met all obligations to such station. Be granted the position of my Squire and a new member of the Glorious House Croda whose notable lineage having already been stated by my former Liege Boo Radley Said stikkypixie should be welcomed by all here present, especially the Glorious Ladies, who seem to have the most sense of all. As a Squire of House Croda and a full dues paying member of the MBT (and it will always be here).

I never left! What with all that VT artillery pinning me in place.

...unlike Nidan1, who isn't cultured at all. Mace </font>

Scientifically speaking....how does one culture E.coli?....do you leave your bloomers on the counter for a few days, and then scrape it off? Do you cut up a whole chicken and stuff the parts under your pillow for a fortnight? Tell us man....we want to know!!!!

Not as much effort as it does for you to send a turn I guess. </font>

Not as much effort as it does for you to send a turn I guess.

Waiting.....for what? The men in the white coats?

Whereas Boo has a pendant for stating the oblivious? </font>

Humbug, I say.....are there no prisons?...are there no workhouses?

Sure, what's your email address?

Gee Lars that must be painful...would a lubricant help????....perhaps some Immodium AD???

You actually want a setup ???. Is this a trick, or part of a new twelve step program that you have enrolled in? While I hope you enjoy your trip to the Magic Kimgdom, I am worried that your fragile ego will be forever crushed as you watch hordes of wide-eyed eight year olds running passed you as you stand forlornly...head down...hands in pockets..in front of the "You must be this tall to get on this Ride" sign.

You girly-handed glad-hander. Why, I bet Boo has tougher hands than yours, and I hear he's a spokes-model for Palmolive. Oh, and so as not to waste bandwidth, rleete's hands are like doe-skin. Like rabbit-fur even (who'd a thought he had fur on his palms, eh?). Crappy taunt number 666 brought to you by Moi. </font>

Did I tell you all that when I was on my vacation cruise, I got my very first manicure ever. I have always wanted to get one, but I was hesitant because I thought it was...well, you know unmanly. However, I realized that the rich and famous men of the world get them, and they cant all be sissy boys, can they? Then I thought that it would be very embarassing because the condition of my hands and fingers is less than appealing, what with scars and callouses and unsightly cuticles. I did not want to impose myself on some unsuspecting young manicurist. Well, I made an appointment on the cruise for a haircut and a manicure. When the appointed time arrived I was apprehensive, but young Erika from Capetown South Africa was very nice. She even told me that she had seen worse looking hands during her young career. We chatted away...she asked me lots of questions about 9/11...she had never seen the WTC live, and asked me where it stood in relation to the docking berth of the cruise ship. I found it odd trying to describe to her where they would have been, for 25 years I worked in Manhattan, and they were always just there. Anyway, she did a wonderful job on my hands, polish and all for my nails...nothing sissified about it. I have lost my virginity...so to speak, and now I plan to get a manicure on a regular basis.

The image that this statement conjures up is well....***shudder***....rather horrific.

Never got it, send again...."upstater"
