**YK2** Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 The life and times of the poor wee haggis: As you can see the Haggis is a lovely wee thing, full of the joys of spring..... There is of course his poorer cousin known as Horribilis McHaggis... And I must mention "Wee Bagpipe McHaggis", very much the life and soul of the party... And so it all began...... Then along comes this famous Scot, known to some as "The Bard" Such a bonnie wee laddie, dont you think? Anyway, he took it upon himself to put his quill to ink and write a little ditty, here is an extract... And as she wept her son was seen, To eat his head his heart his spleen And there he lay, a boy no more Just a stomach on the floor None the less since it was his They ate it - and that's what haggis is.. (oops, sorry getting my Burns mixed up with my Python) Goes like this... His knife see rustic Labour dight, An' cut you up wi' ready sleight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright Like ony ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin', rich! Well, what can I say.. after reading that we Scots couldn't figure out what the hell this Burns guy meant. So... we decided he must have been referring to that cute little McHaggis Clan, and that they might taste quite edible with a wee dram of Scotlands finest.. So, from then on, the poor Wee McHaggis Clan could be seen heading for the hills... Of course they were eventually found, and before long they were caught, butchered, and ended up looking like this.. not a pretty site eh? Anyway.... There was much rejoicing, and to ease the guilt of killing those poor wee McHaggis's the Scots decided to make the upcoming feast a grand occasion with pipers and all.. Now referred to as "Piping in the haggis" And to this day, the more canabilistic of our Clans still go through with this age old ritual.. Boy... Rabbie Burns sure has a lot to answer for. (This poetic piece of verbosity is dedicated to poor wee Angus Mchaggis and his Clan. May they R.I.P.) Dated this 9th day of March 2003 YK2 MCHAGGIS MuuuuuWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadr Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Gotta admit, I like the way that turned out, despite the weather. Now, pardon me whilst I go work on my tan. You don't want me down there Berli, if your performance here is any measure, I'll be running the place a week after I show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Vadr spake thusly: You don't want me down there Berli, if your performance here is any measure, I'll be running the place a week after I show up. You'll be roasting in a room full of lawyers discussing litigation without pause for eternity. And you won't have Joe around to force your presence upon me either (already cut a deal... Joe goes to Heaven no matter what). Yep, looking forward to locking you in that room and then forgetting you even exist.

Pillock. Papa ...I'm sorry, did you say something? Whenever you begin speaking, I just sort of zone out. But I imagine you're used to that... On another note (B-sharp), my wife's car was totaled in an accident this last Thursday by a gimboid who felt that 4-wheel drive gave him authority over "black ice". Not to worry, though, no one was hurt, just some metal got bent. I bring this up merely to point out that the accident happened on Thursday and by Friday we had gotten letters from no less than 5 different lawyers wishing to represent us.

The forces of RIGHT and JUSTICE have prevailed and his gamey, last minute, tanks unsupported by infantry flag rushing prolonging the game FAR beyond it's normal course tactics have UTTERLY FAILED.

Haggissss... haggises... haggisi... sheep stomaches stuffed with repulsive things. Then surely there must be a variety stuffed with Rune scenarios? For some reason I can't explain I'm "playing" two of them. Of course, nowadays "playing" a Runario means "trying to get my tanks to move reasonably down long roads for some reason." Surely we can all chip in and buy the creature a sense of perspective? Such pain.... -dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I imagine you're used to that... Well, I'm used to it from you, anyways. I imagine we all are. Shall I even go to the trouble of describing to the rest of these nincompoops how you sent me the wrong blasted file again? Boo, I realize that the concepts of not only numbering the files, but doing so sequentially must be daunting for the likes of you. Especially since it normally takes more than 10 file exchanges for me to crush the life out of your pixel-truppen, requiring you to play barefooted, keep track of "tens" using all three of your thumbs, etc. But do try to keep up, all righty? On another note (B-sharp), my wife's car was totaled in an accident this last Thursday by a gimboid who felt that 4-wheel drive gave him authority over "black ice".

Boo Radley Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Originally posted by Papa Khann: What number was Mr. Peeper? Papa His was the last to come in, actually. You know, that's the first time I've ever gotten a business letter written entirely in crayon. Fascinating. Oh, and the reason his arrived last is because someone should tell him that you can't just draw a stamp on the envelope. The Post Office requires that you use one of theirs.

Papa Khann Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Originally posted by Joe Shaw: Moonscape hell ... there was wheat everywhere. I was going to call you Liar until I noticed that you said MORAL high ground, for a moment I read it as MORALE high ground and that was just WRONG. And before you mention it, my using the gun damaged PzIII to contest that last VL was a complete oversight on my part. I'd never have done anything as gamey as that ... I'd have used a Kublewagen ... if I had one left. Joe Oh, so now I didn't occupy the MORALE high ground either? Nonsense. If you recall (What am I saying? This is Joe I'm talking to. He can barely remember his own name. And then only because the attendants at the home yell it at him all day long), we designated the grassy lump to the left of the smoking ruins of several conscript T-34's as the morale high ground. I'm sure I had at least a crew on top of that. So no matter what you say I occupied it. It doesn't change it if the crew was dead either. They were Russian conscripts. They're not supposed to survive. Papa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Originally posted by Moraine Sedai: But where are Elvis and MrSpkr? Get off yer butts and send me turns!!! Or rather, get ON yer butts (in front of the computer) and lets get on with it already. It's much easier for me to send a turn when you do your part and return the last one I sent you. If that is too difficult for your Georgian-on-my-mindlessness to understand, may I suggest you send a letter to Slapdragon? He could probably suggest one of his inbred, family-tree-ain't-forked-in-six-generations cousins to explain it to you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalem Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Hey Joe. Since you have time to disconnect the O2 tank and wave your cane around at the crowd in here, why don't you send me a turn? Or surrender? Or get a lobotomy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
