HAHA, MADE YOU LOOK! ... childish you say ... {sigh} yes ... wasn't it.

GITom, I loath admiting this, but this is brilliant! Pat yourself on the back laddie.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now how is one to keep track of your chemically altered states of mind which induce THIS name being the right name or THAT name being the right name. I, quite naturally, took your FIRST word as THE definitive word and ignored all after, thus, I was correct. However, let us not forget ... HAHA, MADE YOU LOOK! Finally I re-read, with some pride, one of my finer opponent descriptions which I share now: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Please forgive Lower GI, he's pretty much in a fog at the best of times and having lost two of his three AFV's on consecutive turns has loosened the setscrew on his already slipping cogwheel of reality. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The old days are gone for good, Berli.

Roborat Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Just an addition to the Peng reading list: The Monty Python TV series script collection (forget the title right now, am at work, will provide from home if there is any interest) Any of the Flashman books The Callahans Crosstime Saloon series, and related spin-offs Anything by Heinlein, particularly Starship Troopers, (note: NOT the expletive-deleted movie which happens to have the same name) Game updates: Just started a small scenario with Speedy, in which I have three infantrymen, one officer and a sharpshooter defending on a small map in heavy fog, AND the forced setup locations SUCK. No idea what the attacking Yankees have, as they haven't blundered into me yet. He better hurry, it's only ten turns. Also started a match against someone who turns out to be a SSN, but since he mostly lurks here I was fooled into accepting. As he is an SSN, no more updates, unless I actually manage to win. As I am assaulting a german held town with green Yankees across an open billiard table, I am not holding out much hope. That is all, everyone return to their mundane existence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeo Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lawyer: (remember "Deliverance"?)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually, no, I do not. Apparently you've found some driving force within that movie that makes it stay foremost in your mind. Makes you want to take a long canoe-trip on a back-water river, does it? Makes you want to shoot the rapids, and "squeal like a pig", eh? Why, I bet you're quite good at it. The squealing, I mean. Me, I just partake in "outdoor experiences" to kill things and get in touch with nature (no better way to touch nature, really, than fondling its innards). No need to defend yourself, city-Lawyer-boy. I'm sure your greatest outdoor experience involved waking up in the vacant lot behind the new K-mart down the road and trying to navigate your way home. Did you take your compass and plenty of bottled water? No, more likely you endured the trauma of calling a cab and having them take you the 7 blocks to that Ranchero-de-la-asphalt you call home.

Mark IV Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 I am now in the new house. The movers were finally here this morning with my stuff so I no longer have to sleep on the floor, it is only a matter of choice, or as we delicately say, a "condition". I have just now fired up the Big Rig (instead of the laptop) for the first time in a week, and collected the pathetic mewlings to this addy for the first time in a while. To the idiots who wondered what happened to me: You Idiots. I have posted updates here (where else?) on the fact that I was moving my entire life to Foobarland (SoCal), and so I have. This is hardly a matter of bundling my spit cup and my lucky bent coin into my kerchief and heading for the Greyhound terminal, as with some of you who queried, but an OPERATION. Phase One is complete. The stuff is here. Now I only have to drink, clean, paint, rewire, and unpack, in order of importance. Careful readers will note that I had a head start on this (the drink part) a post or two ago. CMBO will start being phased back in (this is the longest I have ever been away from it and it feels funny) as time permits, beginning with tomorrow's SoCal CM get-drunk-together as advertised elsewhere. Peng has, as usual, tested the ocean floor of my estimation, by neglecting Nietzsche (the only comedic philospher) from his liszt. The only salvation was including "Confederacy of Dunces", a book with a lesson, that being that if you want to write one of the funniest American novels ever, you have to die right after. I urge you all to attempt this. Don't post it here but have your mumma do so posthumously. The awful SSN (shouldn't it really be ssn?) that plopped by was dealt with quickly, but not really, really brutally. I was a little disappointed. Prease tly a rittle harder!!! Back to unpacking, ta for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on a two week vacation this summer nearly caused me to claw my eyes out trying to read the threads that went by during my absence. I imagine you'll be jamming pencils deep into your ears and trying to saw off your own head with a rusty hacksaw if you read the last zillion or so threads. As for MkIV he's in Oceanside now-- further SoCal than you or I. 360 or so perfect days a year, and smog only when the wind is from the north. The San Diego/ Southern OC (that's Orange County, not obsessive/compulsive, though many of the grogs probably qualify as the latter) contingent is meeting in a seedy bar somewhere in that general vicinity. A bit of a long drive to meet with people who are just going to annoy you to death.
