Jim Boggs

Throwing his last t-shirt into the bag, he zipped it close. He had already checked out and now he tossed his bag into the backseat of his Volkswagon, painted black with tape over the headlights. He thought he had been prepared. He had sparred with some of the best in the outer reaches of the Forum. But he was not ready for the pool. He had been taken totally by surprise by the innocuous, lilting phrases of "These are a few of my Favorite Things". His blood already worked up to fighting pitch, still reeling from multiple blows suffered at the hands of Berli, he had been startled at first, then as the song went on he began to lose it. The last thing he remembered was the phrase "Touching your miniatures can be messy". Then all went dark. The next thing he remembered was Sir Lars standing over him laughing uncontrollably. The pool had claimed another unsuspecting wanderer. He never really had a chance.

Excuse me, I was looking for THE PENG THREAD , you know the MBT . My God what has happened here? I feel like Lord Chauncey is going to come bouncing ever so lightly up to sip his Chardonay and powder his nose before heading off to touch-up his miniatures. Listen up all Sissies: SOD OFF! This is the MBT. Where are the Guardians that have allowed this to happen. The Peng Thread is about CHALLENGES. Insult, berate, cajole, belittle, bemoan, bother, irritate, isolate, inebriate....anyway you get the idea. If there be any more "Lovey-Dovey" stuff posted on this Most Sacred of Threads without immediate and complete rebuke by the "Ancient Ones", then I will proceed to proclaim the deathknell of a once feared and respected thread.

My dear Berlichtingen: The nip of an Illinois frost has apparently frozen solid the 12 lbs of earwax you have collected over the past 107 years. What I said was: I' ve got a bottle in front of me and been catching fat bass To further disprove your claim, I would NEVER use the word partially TWICE in the same sentence! By the way, nice marching song. I didn't notice any Florida cities mentioned. Coincidence?

Terif: Many thanks for your time and sage advice!

Sound of the cyanide pellets falling into the old bucket in the gas chamber. Gaylord, I knew him well. [ March 13, 2003, 02:36 PM: Message edited by: Jim Boggs ]

Terif: This is like asking Tiger Woods for Golf Tips. What are your minimum requirements for HQ,s, armor, and air to accumulate for the German invasion of Russia? Is it worth it to pursue a Mediterranean Stategy for the Germans or should the Italians handle it exclusively? How many units do you leave as a garrison in France once it falls? I don't want to overdo it, so thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

"Is this the Bureau of Records?" "Yes it is" "Do you have a listing for a Boo Radley?" "We have a listing for a Gurley Radley, nicknamed Boo." "Does it say how he got his nickname?" "Apparently it was awarded to him as a tribute to his athletic abilities." "Hmmmm....Okay, thanks very much."

I have a crystal clear perception of the value of your worthless state... and as soon as they bring back nuke testing... </font>

Florida is NOT a great state... it is a swamp Your state has no honor... it is where the young send the old when they are tired of them. Glad I could clear that up for you. Now, go away </font>

Liar. Hockey in Florida, what's next, software companies in Maine or somefink? Steve </font>

Uh Steve, For the sake of BTS and BFC, PLEASE let someone else drive your car. The thought of you getting BOGGED is not something I want on my conscience.

Dear Pudlians/Pooligans? This thread deserves a place of honor *snickers* on the General Forum and yet for some unknown reason you refuse to let it go. I realize that there are the immature and insecure among you who still cling to the childhood utopia ("MINE!!!! MINE!!! MINE!!!! WHINE!!!! WHINE!!! WHINE!!!). However, it would behoove you to spread your good works to the further reaches of this esteemed forum in order for the unwashed to feel your pain and realize that no matter what horrific scenario life or quickbattle has dealt them, there are those whose pitiful existence can only serve as an inspiration. Many times I have been asked "Boggs, you dumbass, why do you care about these misanthropes?" I can only shake my head at their lack of perception. The puddle thread serves a valuable function in a modern society. It is a place where the dregs, the castoffs, the misfits can gather and be among "their own kind". Many times I have observed the goings on of this bizarro world and have come to appreciate the reduced crime rate that it has spawned simply by allowing life's losers a place to congregate. So I would ask once again: In the name of all that is disgusting and perverse, let this thread go.

I think his name was Henschel

Doesss it have a cold in it'sss nose, Precioussss? </font>

*Sniff*....Hmmmm.... *Sniff, Sniff* Yep, this baby is just about ready for the ole General Forum.

Maybe he thought the doorknob was his wong?

Uh, Steve, there has been an unusually rancid stench coming from the General Forum lately. I'm afraid there might be a leak. We've also been getting the smell of molten TNT (which isn't really a bad thing). Have you done a bed check lately?

Tigger: I think the correct spelling is bogs as in one "g". Hope this helps!

Members of the General Forum: Please stand by to receive a gift from our good friends at Strategic Command!!!

Gentlemen of the SC Forum: Bumped to the forefront of this excellent forum is one of the all time classic AAR's. My question is: HOW COME THERE AREN'T ANY MORE? Since the ladder started and the competitive juices have started flowing, I'm inclined to think that they were stopped because they were giving away too many secret strategies, but hey, that was the BEST PART! You guys were even getting CM grognards to drop by and COMPLIMENT the damn things. I'm really getting nostalgic for them. I remember rushing home from work in order to get the latest update on Zapp vs Terif or Wachtmeister vs Sven. It was so way cool. To all the newcomers: Since you will be permanently ranked in the lower strata of the Ladder, how about some AARs? Games I would like to see: 1. Rambo vs Zappsweden 2. Archibald vs Irish Guards 3. Waltero vs Shaka of Carthage 4. Liam vs Kuniworth 5. Anybody vs Anybody If something doesn't happen soon, I will start an AAR of a hotseat game I will play. You have been warned!!!!!

Jersey: No way dude. This forum would go stale without ya. Keep up the good work. Some of us (me) actually LEARN stuff from the discussions here!

These guys around the boards here are like sharks, and when they smell meat... Martin </font>

Immer: Great post, are you sure this is weather you're talking about?
