SirReal Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Due to a sudden downpour of work, I have suspended CM:BB for a short while. I'll resume as soon as I'm done flipping these burgers. Er.

mike_the_wino Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 The fair dame Y2K has requested the presence of mike_the_squire. Alas, the lad took off for your cellar at the first mention of "wine" and has not been seen since. Perhaps a search party might be in order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Originally posted by Nidan1: I'll have you know, you Aussie Skrimshanker, that my S-60, AKA "The Swedish Princess" is one of the sharpest looking cars on the road, and with a 250hp turbocharged engine, allows me to admire the competition mostly from my rearview mirror. What a revolting thought. Here in Gude Ahld IngoLand, Volvos are driven by the baby milk crowd and the possibly dead. I have strict rules on giving way to people, and it's: No Caravans No Taxis No SUV's No 4x4s No Volvos You will notice that the Volvo is the only manufacturer especially selected for this treatment. The reason behind this is that everyone who buys a Volvo buys it for its 'superb safety record'. This classifies them as the universe's most boring people, the kind of people you avoid at a party because they are busy rootling through the host's collection of dictionaries or cheese graters, the sad mortals who are talking at a lonely young couple with a glazed expression about how great having children is, and how people need to move on and commit, and how the stench of baby spew and poo is socially acceptable, and hanging a 'baby on board' sticker is also socially acceptable, when the real truth is that the kindest thing to do these pathetic, Volvo-buying scrapes of humanity is to throw them bodily into a blast furnace and torture the evil Swedish idiots who introduced such purgatory to my motoring joy. The worst, of course, and the most frequently encountered, are Volvos towing Caravans, who drive at a nice, safe, 38mph down the centre of the main roads, ensuring that it is impossible to either overtake or push them off the road. I hate Volvos. All Volvos are evil and belong in the eleventh pit of hell. Although to be fair, it's hard not to have a sharp-looking car in America, even if it's a Max Suckage Volvo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just afraid of the huge advances my poor, bedraggled Aryan Supermen are making in our little pas de deux. Advances that can be measured IN FEET, IF NOT...SLIGHTLY MORE THAN FEET! And soon I'll be making that last valiant dash across open no-man's-land right into the face of your pillboxes, which will no doubt mow me down to a man. And here you are, taking a time-out in the last two minutes of the game, trying to "ice" my field goal kicker. Ha! And I say again to you, HA! We'll just see who has the cold nose between us, before this is ended laddie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaylord Focker Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I think the war in Iraq that was outlined in the planning sessions went pretty much according to plan, though one could argue that the Turkish front could have beend handled in an alernativly better way. Barring that minor blunder the Allied forces did make great haste towards victory in removing a tyrant from power. Are the Iraqi's better off? I would say yes, but one has to wonder how much the U.S forces can sustain themselves as around 73% of the armed forces are deployed, and will eventualy need rest from the front. I for one hope the hooligans over there lay down their rpg's and embrace a new and free democratic Iraq, which given time will come to pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must make hay while the sun shines...although it's dark now, of course... But wasn't there sunshine for a while? That's puzzling. Oh, well, no worries until Monday. gurgling noises Here's to Mike the Winerider...no, er...Winetalker!...no, wait, that's Navajos...Here's to Mike!

**YK2** Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 What's going on here! has there been some sort of battle since I last posted? Are you all dead or lying wounded in some corner? Why are all these empty cans and bottles lying around!! Where is everyone? Stumbles over something lying in a heap on the floor....... Seanacoochie what the hell has been going on here!! where is everyone? The pathetic shadow of the once proud man known as Seanachai struggles to stand upright... Fair Emma, my lady... I.... I.... and he looks shamelessly around the carnage of the MBT... I have no excuses My Lady.. Well Sir.. you dissapoint me.. Last time I checked we were well ahead of that Other Thread in the posting stakes...and it looked like our next re-incarnation of the MBT would happen before the night was out.. Joe goes off for a few days and you lot take it upon yourselves to stop all normal duties and laze about till he returns....drinking the cellar dry by the looks of it.. Seachachai stands with his head down and tries to form some words but nothing comes out ............ Yes... I, of all people am fully aware that drinking while posting has never been frowned upon here in the MBT, but hiding away in some corner drinking until you are incapable of carrying out the most simpliest of duties.. (making a few posts) is indeed something you should be ashamed off... The Fair Emma gives the Gnome one of her most fearsome looks :mad: :mad: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR then smooths down her skirts and composes herself... Oh dear.. dunno what came over me then... Must be a throwback from when I posted in that Other Thread.. Anyway .... what's done is done, but there is work to be carried out.. and in the absence of Joe I call upon MrSpkr to get the paperwork in order.. Hmmmmmmm come to think of it, ain't MrSpkr doing some editing for that master of scenarios Rune ? And Berli ... off recruiting some new souls.... Peng .. haven't heard a whisper since he sunk that last bottle of whisky.... I told him you know.... told him to at least water it down a little.. normally being a Scot I wouldn't suggest such sacrilege but in Pengs case I thought it necessary lest we lose him to the DEVILS CURSE .. or should that be lose the DEVILS CURSE to Peng ? Whatever.... my point is, that I, Dame YK2, LADY OF THE POOL have had to draw my own bath, fluff my own towels, and even fetch my own wine, now I know the Justicar wont be happy about this.... I mean there is busy and there is busy... Hell I am busy... extremely so, at least until an hour ago I was... then upon hearing the news that there had been some sort of disruption to the MBT I dropped everything in order to check it out... So... First things first.... A search party is in order to find the Squire known as Mike.. I intend to take him as my own... The details of which are yet to be drawn up... Find him... and bring him to me... The man or men who carry out this request will be greatly rewarded.. I'll see to it that all usual duties (including Guard duties) are waived for a month, and a hundred more Eurodollars be added to their monthly pay. And Seanacoochie, please clear up all this mess and sort yourself out... in the absense of the Justicar you are the only Olde One around at the moment... It's time you put down the wine and get this place in some kind of order before the next incarnation.........

When I had the fortune of being recognized as a SSN, there were no other SSN's or squires around, I had to thump Sir Nidan1 around quite a few times before he relented. I would guess that the poor outboarder has it's work cut out for it, trying to bash a game out of Boo. Not that getting a game out of Boo is something to be proud of.
