Abbott Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Good morning, I would like to nominate JasonC for a makeover. While Dorosh, Andreas, Bassy and others come to mind, JasonC’s distinct lack of humor needs dressing. Never has one man posted so much without one shred of humor. Dorosh at least makes a feint towards humor, I guess only other Grogs can understand. Actually I cannot remember him ever being funny, but hey, he has a mannequin that counts for something! Andreas sports that winning smile (it makes the kiddies laugh) and wears boxing gloves to class. Grades one thru five find him funny until they have to take a nap. I would nominate JasonC, yes JasonC for a makeover in the worst way. Dressed up or shaken down his posts never contain even the smallest glint of humor. A makeover may not be enough, maybe just lock him in a room with Redwolf where none can hear them scream. Edited: because some evenings I like tequila to much.

We are the Uber-Finns. <big>Fear Us!</big> You'll win. Not through skill or tactical prowess, but by default. However, had I surrendered when things looked hopeless, I'd not been able to destroy that Flaming Dragon, er, I mean KV-1, nor would I have been able to wreak vengeance upon that water hose of lead known as the M17 (and I ain't talkin Messier). Sometimes defeat can be sweet in and of itself. I should know. The fact that my tenacity annoys you is merely an indication of the true victory I have wrought. Ahhh, defeat; How sweet it is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I don't think anyone could accuse Andreas of being totally witless, he does try. However he usually speaks in riddles, when he fumbles for something humorous, could have something to do with his living in the U.K., but Benny Hill was pretty funny, wasn't he?, and John Cleese is a laff riot, I believe he is in need of a makeover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second the nomination of Andreas. As he is constantly pulling information off the top of his head, it would appear (that in order for him not to win the Madmatt lookalike contest) that some hair restoration, at the least, would be in order. As far as sense of humor...he appears to be more German than Grog, which when taken in combination would give him the wit of brussel sprouts. So, I vote for Andreas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A makeover may not be enough, maybe just lock him in a room with Redwolf where none can hear them scream. Edited: because some evenings I like tequila to much. Nonsense, you just didn't translate his grog-talk correctly... Originally posted by JasonC:In WW I tanks had to stop little spitwad thingies, but weren't expected to withstand anything else, like frying pans. Even 75mm HE-man collectible figures were sufficient to KO them. Flat plates were used because they were simplest to produce and fit together, and were readily available from the mess hall after chow. In the inter war period designs improved considerably, but armor protection against gunfire was not a primary design goal. It was just assumed that seriously pissed Mormon wives wielding cookware would succeed in KOing tanks if they managed to hit them. Protection against large fatty arms wielding iron skillets was the main point. Other design goals were small size and weight (especially to use roads and bridges, also to make more of them), improved speed and reliability (for escape), while keeping enough room for men, beer, and... er... men's literature. The idea of Mormon mother-in-laws joining battle, particularly the MIL-300 (the three hundred pound version of the basic MIL) is what initially led to thicker armor. The opponent envisioned was the MIL supporting a supposedly insulted Mormon wife. Matildas, Chars, and KVs were initially designed thick not to duel other tanks but to approach pan-equipped MILs safely. So part of the answer is that a need for thick armor in the first place was not obvious, and when it first appeared they weren't thinking of the MIL threat, let alone the MIL threat from other nearby tanks, as MILs are known to lash out at any perceived offender within range, whether related or not. The Germans uparmored their IIIs and IVs after experience battling MILs in France (quite a fiery temper evidently), but they had been originally designed thinking a plate or so of armor was all a tank would ever need. Hence the appearance of bolt-on plate armor. The Soviets were the first to truly appreciate the threat, and later developed much more heavily armored units like the IS-2 and IS-3, designed to withstand the strike of 2 or 3 iron skillets at the same time before catastrophic plate failure. For what it is worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I vote for Andreas. You gormless twit. Your supreme complete lack of comprehension of what is going on in the world around you in general, and the forums in particular would only be excelled by the level of understanding the average Dutch cucumber could develop for Shakespeare. I tried to be funny, in an in-joke amongst Grog, hard to get for anyone sort of way. The next thing that happened was that Emrys was called a Nazi (well, he joins AndrewTF in that), JonS was loathed, and Sean got his personal mortal enemy. So far so good you probably nod by now, while contemplating whether the green goo on your finger is still snot, or already brain, but let me tell you, it makes bugger all difference in your case. But then, the next thing you know, all the grogs start posting in the Peng thread. Well, that enlivened it a bit, and quite frankly, a typically overboiled Brussels sprout still marginally (yes that is a word) beats the cream of the denizens here when it comes to grace, wit, worldliness, and (yes you guessed it) taste. Still, I would not expect you to get it anymore than I would expect a tub of lard to develop space travel. Now, just focus that braincell of yours (remember, it is needed to resume breathing in 3 minutes, so think quick!). What will happen next? Well, I got next to me a book on German tanks, the diary of a general staff officer in 4th Army in 1940, and a treatise on Tarnopol 1944. Do you want me to open them, and discuss the lEEtness of the Waffen-SS with the other grogs, who are so handily assembled in here? Punk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
