Lars Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Originally posted by Seanachai: Might that not inspire too much horror in them, as it would be all too reminiscent of Lars' emails from the last exchange? I mean, does a guy in Las Vegas really need to know all the ins and outs of various animal urines as a fashion accessory? I noticed on my last trip there that they were sadly lacking in this regard. I did my best to spread the word. However, to their credit, they were well informed on the many possible accents that a spritz of the human stuff could provide. They even handed out flyers. Next time I think I'll bring some of my own flyers. Perhaps even a atomizer for free samples. Give something back, that's my motto.

Joe Shaw Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 I'll do you one better, Satchmo. I'll let some other Poolers pick the scenario or QB or what have you. So long as it's not some technicolor yawn from the colon of Ker Dessel*, I don't much care. So, have we a deal? And do we have someone who will provide the battle?HAH! It's on then lads! Operation LasVegasTimmy and Muffin Freedom has commenced. Now, as you say, we need a battle ... smallish lads, and quick so that we can rescue poor LasVegasTimmy and Muffin without delay. Now Boo_Radley if you'll just send your surrender along with the next turn we can finish up and be ready for the REAL match. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm open to suggestions lads. Joe Having freed them from the tyranny of Radley's friendship (doubtless at some point an international tribunal will be called to review their suffering and take appropriate action), I imagine that we should introduce them to Freedom and Democracy, and allow them to select new friends without threat of reprisals from Boo. Also, I imagine that shortly we'll be informed by the Government that Haliburton will take on the responsibility of helping them to reconstruct their lives.

Seanachai Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Oh, I guess that still begs the question of their status and title. What are we calling the Iraqis these days? Wards? Protectorate? Economic Opportunity? Perhaps we should call Muffin and Timmy the 'Official Cesspool Captives Liberated from the Tyranny of Boo', or somesuch.

To be associated with Boo they must have a certain quality that separates them from the norm of humanity. It would take a tough person with heroic qualities to withstand that association. We could award them the "Cesspool Legion of Merit" (if there is such a thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm all in favor of that. Also, since I think gitmo is still the province of the Marines, I nominate Berlichtingen as his jailer. Trident and forked tail optional.

As if we're not getting enough flak from other countries about the way we're treating the detainees already. Joe p.s. It occurs to me that Boo_Radley may feel just a bit set upon right now, every man's hand against him, every post another attack, never a moment to rest, never a moment to reflect, never, never, never ... It's TRUE of course, it just occured to me. [ August 07, 2003, 04:52 PM: Message edited by: Joe Shaw ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
