Yawwwnnnn. The details of battles outside the 'pool make a good sedative.

Hiram, be a good lad, and do some amusing tricks to keep me awake. Cat juggling comes to mind.

Anyone here who was present at the Third battle of Ypres?

Or ”Bloody Wipers” as it was so fondly known at the time?

No?

Oh well, there was mud you see, for as far as the british eye could

see it was mud, mud and two muddy hills. I moved there yesterday

and it hadn’t changed at all. Except that it now lay on the west coast

of Sweden and there (sadly) were no German artillery observers with

love in their eyes staring down from the muddy hills.

While Ethan may feign comprehension of what cold, dark and wet means he really doesn’t have a clue. As I stated previously I moved here yesterday and as an omen the Weather God acknowledged my presence with the first full day without precipitation for twelve weeks. Thass raijt folks, twelve bloody weeks.

And when the Weather God comes through, he comes through in spades. He blew the air temp down to a whopping –5 centigrade (no wind factor included, which is a bit sissy in a way but you gotta appreciate the effort, dontcha know) which resulted in a frozen muddy landscape from hell.

It was beautiful and I took my son out for a stroll in it, scared the locals a bit, robbed the general store and came back just in time for lunch. Lunch incidentally

is at about the same time as the sun sets. 17 hours of darkness baby, can you gimme halleluja. Of course you can.

I am enjoying myself tremendously and look forward to the day when my son (should he survive this) conquers the world, slaughter the hamsters and ride off with your daughters.

Now for my games, as a general rule folks remember that I’m not necessarily beating you thanks to my superior intellect, my finely honed skills or because of my evil nature. The reason I’m beating you is because I’m much much better than all of you put together.

Now my ISP has some trouble with giving unto Caesar what Caesar bloody wants so I have not, repeat not, received ANY files that you may have sent me during the last six days.

They may be able to rectify this shortly, it really is amazing what you can get done for you if you know what people to kill.

But just resend the durn things OK?

Yes, I noticed we moved. I thought it fitting since I had to.

Sadly, this is true. Upon reading this I did stride forward, opened my 'Mail Waiting to Be Sent' folder, and found both Von Shrad's and OGSF's files sitting there, as well as a turn for Mr. Shandorf. Apparently after telling my software to 'send all emails' and leaving the room to cook food (to strengthen me for the upcoming battle with OGSF and Von Shrad), the software crapped out and not all turns where delivered. They wing their way to you now, and I would feel shame, if shame was something that I remotely had a clue about.

Roborat checking in, just visiting the new digs, about time too, that commute around the world was killing me.

Hey, phulebut, about time you surfaced from whatever rock you were hiding under (or sheep, more likely). In reference to above, I was about to ask you the same question. I just checked my sent file, it went your way some time ago. I will pretend to believe that you didn't get it and send it again. I am anxious to get that miserable, masochistic son of a scenario finished, maybe we can both get kniggeted for having the intestinal fortitude to just get through it, based on the precedent recently set by those other two recent inductees.

In response to another recent post referencing my august personage, I haven't diappeared from the pool, just holding my breath, treading water, and perusing the inane blatherings therein. I wasn't posting merely as there weren't any posts worthy of my time to bother responding to. Unlike a certain Hiram type (sorry, SIR Hiram type) who scatters posts hither and yon, resembling muchly the liquid outpourings of an over excited terrier overdosing on chocolate. However, since you seem to miss me, I could, if desired, start posting incessantly, without, however, the charm and humour of the abovementioned Sir H's posts. It's up to you.

Bye the way, my inner Croda was going for a stroll to get some air, and unfortunately (not) was caught unprotected by a platoon of my attack gophers, just returning from a patrol. The nasty thing tried to go escape up a tree, but fell out and was immediately run down and torn apart by the boys, it was a truely disturbing sight. I guess I am just going to have to requisition another one, perhaps this one will not smell like rancid beer and limburger cheese. Could I have an inner Hiram instead? at least it would be cute and cuddly, my inner Croda resembled Yoda's evil and even more incoherent brother.

Why the damn thing was in color! And he dares to claim it as a true Mormon wife! And he not even a bloody squire to this the one, the true CessPool! Is this blasphemy to be borne by the Knights of the 'Pool! I ask all TRUE KNIGHTS OF THE ONE THE TRUE CESSPOOL (yes even Andreas) to stand with me and MOCK him for his insolence!

MOCK ... MOCK ... MOCK ... MOCK

I'm sorry my friends (and Andreas) but I had no choice, it was HIS Act of irresponsibility that forced my hand and on his head be it ... not my hand, the blame.

As to the suggestion of Eathanwhosenamesoundslikeasneeze that I am somehow ducking his game (sit DOWN Blousehouse, not THAT kind of duck) ... I SENT Turn 14 on Dec. 8th ... I shall resend it since you were likely under the influence of plastic adhesives ... AGAIN ... when it first arrived.

Finally ... the game between myself and ShermanToy resulted in ... a draw, which is better than a loss. A full and formal AAR on the battle will be forthcoming (sit DOWN Blousehouse ... oh never mind.)

Uh-oh, now you've done it. You have made an R.E.M. reference. You will never hear the end of this. For starters, you shall now be regailed with every potential title for the next Peng thread I can think of which relates to a song by R.E.M. or any of the other bands I listen to (all five).

But first, I shall relate a brief anecdote which is of absolutely no consequence to any of you, just because I want to and I can.

It should initially be noted that the only reason I'm posting here now is because I couldn't face going to bed without listening to The Cure for a bit. Even if it is after 3 AM. In other words, in the absence of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, prozac, ecstasy or heroin, it is music alone which keeps me alive.

Now, I've just bought all of The Cure's records. This morning (or it may have been yesterday) the radio alarm was making its usual futile attempt to arouse me (sit down bauhaus!). And what did I hear being sung, but words which were extremely familiar but which I couldn't place. Turns out some wifie has done a cover version of The Cure's Love Song. I wish pop singers would just bugger the hell off unless they can write their own songs. Anyway, I thought that was quite a coincidence. You can all wake up now.

Where was I... oh yes.

Joe has the right of it. Posting Mormon Wives is not something that should be left in the hands of amateurs. On the other hand, that freaking website Oberst found will keep me shivering under the covers for weeks to come, afraid to sleep now that I know such a place exists.

Herr Oberst, I think the only way you can make good on this is - wait for it - give up your indie/peasant status and become Shaw's Squire. And I mean Squire with a vengeance, full of forelock pulling, and scraping, and toadying, and 'yes Shaw, no Shaw, three bags full Shaw'. Else refrain from posting Mormon Wives, and leave it to the man who's been specially trained to deal with these Biohazards.

Well, if nothing else, we should be able to stave off the visits of more tourists.

Come now David, of the two musical references in my post you pick R.E.M. over the Who? (Quadropengia anyone?) Picking Peter Buck over Pete Townsend is akin to picking Rachmaninoff over Tchaikovsky, Roger Moore over Sean Connery, MJD over Guinness.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> After cutting a swath thru some of the lesser denizens of this pool, it's time for some fresh scenery. I am as we speak applying the coup de grace to your erstwhile countryperson, Maced. Since your record in pool play is not a losing one (yet) I need to warm up on some corpulent toad like rock warmer such as yourself.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Aha! Finally looking to trade up then, are you councellor? It’s a well know fact that Mace is only called that due to the over application of said instrument to him as a small child. Well you have come to the right place, you most vile of obfuscators. I’ve got your certiorari right here.

But first, I must ask for a continuance, as I am currently scheduled to arrive in terra lizardous no earlier than 9 Jan after having removed copious amounts of cash from a certain oil company which shall remain nameless (an exercise that you would be well familiar with no doubt). However, as I have a nearly clean slate (other than the interminably slow Peng and Seanachai, who defy all efforts to finish a turn) of fodder due to methodical and timely planning on my part prior to my departure, I can accept your offer without reservation.

In the meanwhile, let us discuss terms, shall we? I’ve heard all the hype and feel it is time to get sucked in, so how about a fiendish little creation of rune? One in which we select our own units and he purchases them and then throws all the random switches he can. If that works for you, select a year, a side, how many points you want and if you want to attack or defend. Once we have finished the negotiating, you or I can get off a not to rune for his assistance. I will start off the process by suggesting I take 1500 pts worth of krauts.

Now while you labour in your deliberations, I will go warm up the propaganda machine. I should have this battle one before I even hit the field.

My sad little games

DisclaimerI am 1/10/1. Keep this in mind before reading my goings on in the PBEM world.

Croda I was digging for treasures in the litter box when I realized that Croda may be as slow as I am when returning PBEM turns. Granted, he's playing twice the number of people I am, but I can still lose better. We have an infantry only game that should be entertaining. Perhaps I'll put my WWI knowledge to use and recreate Galipoli.

OGSF Armor only game with me as the Axis. They will probably be yelling stuff like "Ow, my bean!!" or Ach, du eisel or wilst du mein nachbar seine? I drew first blood and wait for his response. I hope to learn much from him. Wait a second, who am I bull****ting? I want to eviscerate him and make him cry for his mommy. Squirt some tears, capital letter boy.

JDMorseI'm not playing him any more, but I miss the emails. He was like my uncle Evil Lawyer. Speaking of evil....

Berli Smoke is the order for the day. This one is going to teach me something if it kills me. No really. I want what he knows. When I master his talent, I will be unbearable. I mean unbeatable. Mooohahaha ha ha

Marlow This one has turned into the killing fields for my brave british lads. The town has squatters and I've been tasked to excavate and evict them. The hiding in the building didn't work for me though. He sort of knocked it over ala Meeks style. I'll figure out a plan 3 turns before the game is over, and then...you are up poop-creek without a paddle, Marlow.

Elvis The King of South Philly has shown me the magic of a hetzer. I suffer from British armor and he already knows that, so this won't mess up FOW now. Perhaps I should unlease my Archer brigade upon this "hammerhead" and see who the real "slacker" is "babe" hehe

PeterNZer Dirty deeds done with sheep Two PBEMS going on with Mr. Pumpkineater. VOT2 is going so poorly for me, I have a tough time seeing the monitor through the tears. When he parked his Panthers next to each other at the highest part of the map and his black shirted evildoers got out and had a picnic, I knew he wasn't taking me seriously. I think he left one person behind to answer the phone. The second PBEM has FOW off and I am totally at a loss on how to attack. I thought I knew but then I forgot. whoops

Seanachai I'm still waiting for him to have vengeance upon me for the two pieces of armor I broke of his. He is now threatening to hurt my cat too. Sad sick Seanachai

Now for a mini-sing song to brighten your day:

Why are there so many

threads about Pengman?

Whats on the other side?

Maybe we'll find it,

Shandy Duncan Thats you, Jeffrey Huxtable Shandorf!!! You can be mean to all of the people some of the time or you can be nice to some of the people when they visit your cage at the zoo. So there. Here is something I read on the board. "You need to go back to the stone age to find a friend or someone who will hit you with a very big stick" - Rob/1 Fun PBEM too. hehe

Germanboy Our game is scheduled for Feb 1, 2001 or 01/02/2001 in European script. I have some time to learn how to play until then and I've been fervantly emailing him to find out what sort of character he really is. I'll hold my opinion to myself until after the game gets underway. Just curious, if I moved to Germany, would I be Jerseyboy or Americanboy?

If I forgot someone, too bad. I'm not geting any sleep these days with my psychotic cat singing her songs.
