MrSpkr Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Originally posted by Yeknodathon: Dear Gnome Preservation Society So distressed that their habitat is under threat. I've always enjoyed a good Gnome staggering around the place... Please accept some prize brussels sprouts and several *sniff* abstract crayon scribblings for auction plus a very rare Julie Andrews song book. Will appreciate further news on breeding program and release back into wild. May I suggest an Adopt a Gnome policy to increase yer revenues? Good, good, I'll have the first one... I'll call it Doris and I want to see it now. Yeknod Dear Eeyore: While we here at the Save Seanachai campaign do believe an Adopt a Gnome program might be a worthwhile endeavor, for legal reasons we are unable to endorse it in regards to this particular gnome. Frankly, an AdApt a Gnome campaign might be more appropriate, particularly if the adaptation involved involuntary surgery. However, noting your interest, be assured that we look forward to your prompt donation. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....this offer is available for those of you who made a donation to the SAVE SEANACHAI fund. All you have to do is email your photograph to me and I will make sure you get your own personalized "Me and Seanachai" picture posted on this thread. Your family and friends won't believe it....they might even be a little bit jealous! You could print it out and frame it...something to cherish for a long time... All it takes is making a small donation to the SAVE SEANACHAI fund...a very worthy cause (I think).How much does it cost NOT to have a picture with Seanachai?

REVS Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 We Aussies might be a tough and fearsome lot, and upon reflection, for just a moment, I thought to myself, "Gosh, Seanachai and I have more things in common than those which separate us", and I thought "we both play CMBB and have an interest in mil hist," and that lead to the appalling concept that "maybe I could help this degenerate, bludging, Minnesotan bike rack of a pig-eating breakfaster "... and then I had a reality check – JUST IN TIME!!! No. Let him suffer. Let him suffer. Let him suffer. Let him suffer. Let him suffer. A long long time. Let him suffer. A long long time. Think of all those Rwandan kiddies who want to play CMBB. They ought to come first. Think of all those Uzbeks who want to play CMBB. Think of all those Canadian losers who can't afford the CD. Let them all come first. Think of the Chinese! Let the whole billion of them come first! So, Seanachai, of cold, frigid, loser-ville Minnesota, my heart has a place for you, but currently it's number 1,238,485,639,278 – and the moment your number comes up, here's a dime for Minnesota! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Originally posted by Persephone: NEW! YOUR PICTURE WITH SEANACHAI!

Obviously this 'Reviewer' [of CMBB] is capable of using a computer, and even finding employment (or at least the right to display their almost inspired lack of intelligence under the auspices of an organization), but it's equally clear that they're both incapable, and unashamed of their inability, to actually come to grips with something that requires more intelligent focus and mental participation than an arcade game. On this planet thousands are daily made homeless, crippled, and even killed in pointless and heart-rending incidents of political, ethnic and religious conflict. If any such incident had managed to whack this reviewer, we'd have to consider it worth the anguish –Seanachai, CMBB Forum, 10/12/2002. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlow Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 The Save Seanachai Project? What a great Idea! Now he can be preserved for future generations along with the other freaks in the Mutter Museum! Oh how the school children will whisper and point! The only question is how do we do it? We could go with an ancient approach, and take out his guts and brains, fill his belly with preservatives, and then wrap him in cloth strips. Since he is a romantic at heart, perhaps we go with the way they preserved Nelson after Trafalgar and dunk him in a barrel of rum. Seems like the waste of good booze though. Maybe the Ted Williams way, and use liquid nitrogen? But what if someone drops him. I’d say on balance, the tried and true formaldehyde or alcohol is probably the best bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 WAIT! HOLD EVERYTHING! Well, not that, Axe2121. It's not polite. No, I don't care if you like holding it, and do so constantly in any case, it's not seemly in a gathering of people who have not requested to see you naked. Now, this is my news: I can once again play Combat Mission! Yes, a non-technological friend (probably stunned into desperation by my endless litany of the woes of not being able to play CM) came up with a solution so simple, so pure, so straight-forward, that I was left speechless. It worked. And it was so laughably simple that I won't tell any of you so as to not hear your mocking laughter. Sometimes we tend to over-complicate the world, those of us who think we understand things. So, I am once again able to glory in the joys of Combat Mission: Barbarrosa to Berlin. Now all I have to do is straighten out my email situation with MSN. MrSpkr, recall the troops! We're going home! And to all the fine members of this community who've stepped forward to say: "Who the hell is Seanachai? Oh, that SOB? I hate him! Save him, I wish I could put my foot up..." Well, to all of you, I give sincere thanks. For the many, many postings of contemptuous affection here, I thank you all. Now, don't let this sudden reversal of my misfortunes prevent you from sending imaginative postcards, cards, letters, CDs, DVDs, MP3s, Audio Tapes, or more threatening devices filled with your hatred for me, Seanachai, to the address found elsewhere in this thread (yes, it's my home address, but my mail carrier is quite nice, so nothing that might detonate prematurely, please). What a great Community, what a great Game, what a great day to do the Underpants Dance of Victory. I wonder if the neighbours are home? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Well, you can still have the ten dollars, BUT, Seanachai - you must post a review at the Scenario Depot of the Save Seanachai scenario. An entertaining, jolly sing-song type of review that will keep us in stitches as well as educated. Off you go. http://ns9.super-hosts.com/~dragonlair.net/combatmission/CMBBscenarioreview03.php?UniqueID=526&Name=Save+Seanachai Congrats on the good news.

_Axe_ Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Well Seanachai, my hard earned money is already on the way. Treat it nice. Buy a beer. Or, better yet, some strychnine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I have no hard-earned money to send. I only receive a mere pittance for doing little to nothing. On the other hand, I have an near endless supply of "samples" at my disposal. As such expect wine. I like it when Seanahai is all hungover and grumpy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
