Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 I love this messageboard. What a great way to pass time while it crawls by here at work. I work for a small comapny in the ISS (information system services) department. On the busy days it get quite hectic. On the slow days, I'm bored out of my mind!!! (I like the slow days ) This messageboard keeps me from falling asleep at work, so I just wanted to thank everyone out there who has helped to keep me awake!!! Should recive my copy of CM today or tomorrow, so if there are any other newbies out there looking for a PBEM game, send me a quick message!! Happy gaming all!! ------------------ Never mistake motion for action - Ernest Hemingway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von shrad Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 ....some people claim that the Waffen's to blame, but I know its Montgomery's fault....

Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 So is Jimmy Buffett dead or what? I haven't heard anything from him, or about him in quite a while. Maybe he is living as a hermit on some carribean island drinking Mai Tai's all day long Sounds like the life for me............ ------------------ Never mistake motion for action - Ernest Hemingway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 no he's not dead. I dont think he's released anything in about 15 years but his concert here in St. louis sold out in about 30 min. Talk about a no pressure gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrapGame Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 IIRC, nowadays Jimmy only does shows on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. He's alive and well, as my brother regularly does maintenance on his Grumman seaplane at the Easthampton airport when he's at his house in Amagansett. The Good Life indeed. ------------------ CrapGame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 Is that the same seaplane that Jimmy flew in his "Jamaica Mistaca" incident? Jimmy still turns out albums. His "Beach House on the Moon" was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrapGame Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Spook, I believe that's the one. I think it's an old albatross, and that he has a newer one, but my brother says he's got something special for the old bird. Gasses the thing up, loads up some bait, and flies 20 miles offshore to go fishing off the wings.

Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Lorak, Nope, I dont live near you. Waterville Maine is where I call home (for another month, then its going to be Washington D.C.). I have a friend who's a manager at AOL in DC and he said he could get me a job there, so I'm going to send him a resume and keep my fingers crossed !! Hopefully the move with go nice and smooth, I would hate to have it cut into my CM time!! Anyone out there fans of the movie RAN? I heard it is going to be re-released in theaters. Check out this link: www.ran2000.com/ I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! If you havent seen it yet, GO RENT IT!!

Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Hey Jarmo, You seen Sanjuro yet? I heard it was just as good as Yojimbo.

Lars Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Buffet's plane is indeed a HU-16 Albatross. You can pick a good one up for about $700,000. If you can afford that the $4,500 gas bill to fill the tanks won't bother you a bit. ------------------ Everybody speaks .45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By coincidence, I just purchased the DVD for Sanjuro this week. Haven't seen it yet though. If you go to AICN, check out the post by Airchinapilot. That's me. I list out my favourite Kurosawa films.

Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Another AICN fan......sweet. I'll definetly head over and check out your post on the site, man. Kurosawa is easily my favorite director. That man knows his **** (his business, not a stinking pile of poo. I just ordered Seven Samurai and Yojimbo from dvdexpress.com. I can't wait for them to get here, seems like I'm always waiting for something to come mailorder!! I live in a constant state of torture as I check the mail every freaking day and there is nothing in my mailbox except the damn bills!! When you get Sanjuro and watch it, let me know how it is. I'm thinking of buying it, but if its crap (which I'm sure it won't be) I'll pass on it. Looking forward to hearing your review! ------------------ Never mistake motion for action - Ernest Hemingway [This message has been edited by dirkd1976 (edited 07-20-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 IMO, Sanjuro is good, but not up there w/Yojimbo or Seven Samurai. Hidden Fortress is also well worth watching. Guess which blockbuster movie it inspired... ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone checked out Shogun: Total War? It looks good but I can never have more than one wargame on my plate. I would love to see CM used as an engine for a wargame set in other time periods. Not saying Tokugawa Japan but how maybe....Thirty Years War? I just saw another DVD "The Last Valley" set in the Thirty Years War. It's such an interesting period militarily what with the development of cannon and gunpowder with hand to hand combat still prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
