Lawyer Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 We have re-scheduled the first-ever Washington area CM players meeting for next Friday evening after work. All those interested are welcome to attend. Five or six guys have already said they will be there. The meeting agenda is to drink beer and talk about CM and WWII stuff. If anybody has a digital camera, bring it and maybe we can post a picture here on the forum. As promised before, I will buy a FREE BEER for any CM enthusiast who is smart enough to tell me: "Jake, you are the best CM player I have ever met!" You have almost a week to memorize these magic words in order to get something free from a lawyer. It may be the only time in your life this happens, so don't screw it up. Place: Grevey's sports bar, located in Yorktowne Center shopping plaza at the corner of Route 50 and Gallows Road. This is just off the Beltway in Falls Church near the Mobil building. Take the Route 50 West exit. Grevey's is about one half mile from the Dunn Loring Metro station. Time: 6:30pm on Friday, September 28. We should be there for a few hours. What to look for? I will be there wearing my khaki "Gen. Jake" ballcap. If the weather is nice, I hope we can drink outside at Grevey's, but otherwise look for us inside. We will be the group of guys who all the attractive women are avoiding. So come on out and join us! We look forward to seeing you. If you plan to come, post below and keep this message bumped up so people see it. Cheers, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Jake, you have the tactical acumen of a ground squirrel in traffic. I can't collect the beer, so the truth must be told. But you owe me one for bumping your thread, in support of drinking CMers and CMing drinkers everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Well, you are to the extent that you live off the Ozzie taxpayers doing "work" of no value while spending 24/7 perusing this forum. God Save Australia! Frankly, I've wondered about you for a long time, and now it's confirmed. You are nothing but Steve Irwin masquerading as a CM player. This is not an "animal dress-up event, so put it where the sun don't shine. Mark IV Your absence on Friday will be noted, though not lamented. Feel free to make amends by sending me your corporate credit card number. I assure you it will earn more money and dispense more pleasure in my hands than yours. Don't you have a bit more reading to do catch up on WWII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.Tankersley Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I'll be there, unless I can't make it. How's that for committment? And as long as I spot you before any of the other attendees, I should truthfully be able to say you are, in fact, the best CM player I have ever met. Up to that point, anyway. Everybody else, kinda hang back, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalem Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Well, I won't get back to your neck of the woods for a few months now, Lawyer, but I'll be thinking of fields of burning Mark IVs right about that time..... Have a few for me, guys. -dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I'm sure the explication of your recent, sad, personal deterioration that was posted this evening on the Peng Challenge Thread won't affect turnout, as I'm sure that after your recent, inconsequential victory you're 'all better now'. Still, lads, keep something pointed and sharp nearby just in case. And if the man asks you to 'pray with him', run like a bastard for the exit. On a happier note, Moire is currently finishing her BA at the UW Madison on Lawyer's money, a naturalized citizen of America. There's no wind so wierd that it blows no one any good.

ElGuapo Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Ack, is there any way we can move it into Metro-able DC? A know 2 CM players who live in Georgetown and Cap Hill respectively who would love to be there. ElGuapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I will definitely try to make it, but this weekend is very touch and go at this point. I think it is metroable, albeit on the far end of the Orange line. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White4 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 The stop you want is Dunn Loring, the second to last stop on the Orange line, headed towards Vienna. Walk south 4 blocks or so. Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So screw up your courage and head on out into the hinterlands... Why we even have running water and bathroom facilities out here in the boonies... Lawyer, I'd love to be there, but Friday evenings are spent working with my Cub Scout den on advancement. Tip a nice dark beer for me. I'll think about you rotters while I have my juice and a snack with the boys. Herr Oberst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGuapo Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 ==================================== ElGuapo, there is life outside the beltway... ==================================== I know. I've heard of this mythical "Suburbia" land in my storybooks. Apparently the rail doesn't go there, so you need a Kubelwagon or a Puma to get there. I've heard there is some nice stuff out there. I've ever been to a museum several hours to the north to see a JadgTiger, and we couldn't take the Metro there! Preposterous! I'll try to make it Friday. Ok, so I come out of the Metro and go north on which road? Which side of the street is it on? ElGuapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGuapo<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Guapo, buddy, look for the moss on the side of the Dunn Loring station and you'll know which way is north. Not that anybody cares. I don't know which way is north, but if you turn right on Gallows Rd. coming out of the station and walk straight down Gallows Rd., past Lee Hi-way, you will come to Grevey's. It's just past McDonald's on the same side. About a half mile. It ain't a pretty walk, but you get there, and you get a FREE BEER if you say the right words. If you doubt your wilderness abilities, you can get a cab at Dunn Loring. The ride can't cost more than $3 or so. VA cabs actually have meters. Maybe one of the CM drunks will give you a ride back. Most of the CM guys seem to live out in VA. At least the cool ones... Hehehe... Just joking. See you on Friday. Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCHANGEL Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Thanks Lawyer, I'd love to come and meet another member of my profession, as wella s the rest of the lads, but I'll have to pass until the next event...and until I get a new round of shots to enable me to visit such a remote area as Falls Church... See you next time, Archangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGuapo<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sorry ElGuapo, I forgot that I didn't include any familiar landmarks or terminology for you to reference... You come up from the Metro tracks facing towards DC (the place everyone will be trying to leave at that time of day, just look down at I-66), and turn to your Religious Right to exit the Metro station. This will place you on the South side of the Metro. Meander out of the station, with a little bit of leaning towards the Marxist Left, being sure to miss all the pork barrels strewn about (it's not that far from DC you know). This will deposit you on Gallows Road. Knuckle under to those PC-spouting Religious Righters again and you will eventually arrive at a crossroads. Lean neither to the Right nor to the Left, but proceed cautiously in a bi-partisan manner straight through the intersection, continuing on Gallows Road. After a short distance, and having passed by the Golden Arches on the opposite side of he road, take a short dip into Marxism, and you'll be looking at Grevey's. Try not to get hit crossing the road, some of the locals don't take kindly to city yokels comin out into the country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGuapo Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 I'm looking forward to this little gathering of self-righteous CM bastards. If this goes well, we should all go up to Aberdeen some day and visit the tank park. Though I'm not going to get a free beer, because I've never played ya, Lawyer, and I don't heap praise on those I haven't played. Maybe I'll bring my laptop with CM and we can bet a beer on the results of a 500 pt QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted September 27, 2001 Author Share Posted September 27, 2001 Guappie, the sad remains of my many slain opponents litter the landscape. All died at The Hands of the Law. I wish you a better fate, so I shall refrain from slaying you until I've seen you. Marlow, don't even think about mentioning the outcome of our game. It was, truly, an anomaly of the sort not seen more than once in a lifetime (depending on whose life it is). B-Day minus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
