NEWS FROM THE FRONT:

Brave Lt. PeterNZ, realizing that the IT boys weren't up to the mighty attack of the 'Acer Power 6100' model enemy dove head long into the trenches.

Armed with only an improvised screwdriver and the mystick goldy disk of win98-ness he tackled the might ACER which had previously defeated hordes of IT professionals.

Coming in with a flank attack he tore into its cabling and guts, it kept trying to outwit him but soon it was beaten and hammered into submission, bringing the beast to its knees before it mewed like a baby kitten and dociley dig anything he requested.

Throwing it over his shoulder he marched off into the sunset to tweak and adjust it back into life and thence to turn it upon his Foes in mighty topplement

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Berli bleated:

Let's see, Irish history can be summed up in two points.

1... It took Giere's ancestors to bring them civilization<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Umm lets see...

"Though the Viking invasions checked the normal development of Irish civilisation, undid what the efforts of successive centuries had realised, and gave Ireland such a shock that learning scarcely ever fully recovered from it. A brilliant intellectual life prevailed during that period and, in all the things that pertained to the mind, the Irish were far superior to thier invaders and Irish genius made itself felt upon them."

"Irish sculpture, building, metal work, art, and ornament, flourished and influenced all the art of the scandinavians. It was Irish scholars who introduced the literature of Greece and Rome to the men of the north. In this, the influence on the early literature of the north men is unmistakable. Indeed the Norse were the imitators of the Irish, motives and forms of style are clearly of Irish origin or delveloped through Irish influence. The Irish were also of considerable influence in softening the wild Norsemen they came in contact with and It is the Irish to who the Norsemen owe thier Christianity."

Humm... Now it makes sence that "they" brought the irish civilisation.. NOT!

I currently have my good monitor and speakers hooked up to a Compaq Presario. I'm trying to use my Mac with a godawful Compaq monitor and some naff Sony speakers, but it is hard. I could retreat back to the good kit, but then I've got to use Windoze. I have nowhere to go!

Ahh... I have a little news to post.

Fionn contacted me in an e-mail and ask that I pass this along. I will not post the whole thing... Just the important parts, manily for you celtophobes.

So, keep your post there and be sure to let any of those bottom-dwelling ****-eaters in that thread know I'll take any of them who slag na Fianna off.

If they try particularly hard I may even go public with AARs to commemorate the beatings I give them. wink.gif<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Brings a tear to my eye to see Fionn and his Fianna defending the homeland.

ahh jd,

That is also true.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Joe Shaw:

Reasons why I'm a victim of cephalorectalautoinsertion:

1. I like MY version better.

2. I stated in the preamble to my post that I probably missed something trivial ... trust EWNSLAS to ignore that and try to make a Federal case out of it.

3. I should waste MY valuable time doing a search? Nonsense, in the first place it would have deprived EWNSLAS of the joy of posting the allegedly correct version (he gets so little joy we must do what we can to brighten his life). In the second place, I ask you, how many of you would looked to a post by EWNSLAS for the correct version of ANYTHING?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

1) Then you just prove, as if proof were needed, that your taste is lodged firmly in your nether regions. Your version doesn't scan. It doesn't make sense either. Why do these Afghani women have "pains"? Are they in labor? If they are, then how come they're walking out on the plains, apart from the rhyme (surely you could come up with another rhyme for plains? Mains, cranes, trains, refrains...). And by removing the reference to the Diety, you eliminate an entire layer of meaning from the poem. Of course, that makes it easier for one of meagre faculties to grasp, so no wonder you prefer it.

2) Such Clintonian periphrasis. You said you butchered it, which you, in fact, did. I go to a butcher for dry-aged ribeye; I go to Kipling for poetry; I go to Joe Shaw when I want to kick some super-annuated kiester around the field of battle.

3) *Sigh* There are none so blind as those who have eyes but do not see.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>

4. As to the status of our battle, it is true that there have been some minor setbacks on my right flank (his left flank), but he neglects to mention the OTHER flank in which my victorious Panzers are sweeping all before them and leaving the field littered with the burning hulks of his Shermans.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Your precious Tigers are burning hulks, your troops should really check the status of their term life policies and I've lost a few Shermans, the Bic disposable lighter of armored fighting vehicles. I'm happy to flick them at you. And you haven't even approached my fire sacks yet.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>5. Despite that ... {gag} it's nice to see Eathan posting to the 'pool again ... as much as I hate to admit it.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I know how much it must have hurt you to say that, so say it again, but this time let me watch, OK?

I was going to be nice to you (well, not really, just less cruel), but now you include me in a reference with Thin Red Poop and Bauhaus?!?!? When I'm through with your knock-kneed troopypoopies, you'll be begging for an opportunity to grind your privates in a pencil sharpener for a substitute agony.

And need I point out that some of your posts in the other places have been, shall we say, grog-like of late? 105mm AP indeed!

I have received word from the oracle, and Peng lives. He's functional enough to work and send out the occasional message (basically that he is alive but weak), but is still too weak from the vile pneumonia to play CM very much, if at all, and possibly to spew his usual bile and vitriol.

In other bronchially inspired news, while I was off I had an interesting experience with bile and pus of my own. I managed to develop a wicked hacking cough that generated large amounts of phlegm, which in and of itself is relatively uninteresting to the cesspool, other than as another source of disgust and slime. What's really relevant is some of the loogies that I launched as I cycled through southern California, spewing vast boli of snot on the road. Most of the loogies truly reminded me of Hiram. I'm not sure why, but I would plug a nostril, let fly, and watch a loogie zoom away behind, and it would usually make me think of Hiram. Many of them, if I was going slow and could see them hit the road, really looked exactly as I always imagined Hiram does. The rest looked like Croda. It was truly incredible, much like a vision of the virgin mary in a tortilla, to see visions of cesspoolers arrayed in snot across the ground. It's really the proper medium for a vision of a cesspooler-- it was quite a surprise, but thinking about it, it really does seem appropriate.

Fionn's expulsion from the board was of course a BTS cover-up. As has become plainly obvious, he has been wired into the BTS server and, while maintaining his silence to avoid suspicion, orchestrates a strategic intelligence campaign, constructing psychological profiles of all board members, cataloguing attitudes towards CM and suggestions for the future, conducting a behind-the-scenes subterfuge campaign via e-mail with trusted board veterans, and when things get out of hand, acting as a forward observer and calling in tactical Madmatt strikes on unruly members. Every word posted on the board passes through Fionn's conscious. He has, however, attracted the attention of Interpol due to the mysterious disappearances of "JOCHEN PEIPER" and "CPT_STRANSKY", who are rumoured to have been incarcerated at BTS HQ, for purposes of research leading to the hotly anticipated Historically Accurate Blood And Gore Engineâ„¢ tipped for CM2.

(At the press release for CM2 in 2002)

Steve -

"And as you see here BTS has managed to fully develop accurate 3D generated decapitation of a soldier's head when hit by a 88mm Armour Piercing round..."

Press -

"Wait a minute! Those aren't 3D generated!"

Steve -

"This exhibit is closed!"

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>When you're wounded and left in Afghanistan's plains,

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

Jes' roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,

And go to your gawd like a soldier!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Rudyard Kipling

"The Young British Soldier"

I always loved that verse. My favourite though:

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>When the officer's dead and the sergeants look white,

Remember 'tis ruin to run from a fight;

Just take open order, lie down and sit tight,

And wait for supports like a soldier!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The whole poem is a code of conduct for Her Majesty's Soldiers. Believe it or not, that latter passage has been a great comfort to me on more than one occasion.

Oh, and you suck. Send me a set-up at once.

Let's see what EWNSLAS had to say ... should be good for a giggle if nothing else <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Your version doesn't scan.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Does too. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>It doesn't make sense either. Why do these Afghani women have "pains"?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well duh! Because it's their time of the month. I'd go a LONG way to avoid a Afghani woman with a knife, a grudge, and no Midol. As to the removal of the diety, have you never heard of political correctness? Kipling may not have had to worry about that but I assure you that BTS is worried sick about it and I'm doing my part. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>You said you butchered it, which you, in fact, did.
