MrSpkr Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Originally posted by Leeo: Were I to "come to my senses," I would canvass the assembled Kanniggets and hangers-on to run you out for shirking your duties to the game, your opponent, and the love of battle itself that drives this very thread. It is just a game, but the way one plays it; THAT is an art. Ahh, young Leeo, I too remember the days when the cry of 'It's not winning or losing, but the TAUNT that's important!' wafted through fields filled with dead and dying Hirams, Shavians, Speedbumps, more Shavians, Geiers, and still more Shavians. It is a sad state of affairs when one of the Justicar's own fails to cleave to this simple maxim. But, honestly, could we have hoped for anything more?

Gaylord Focker Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Would it be a bit much if i demand singing when i click add reply to a post? Surely i deserve my own theme music, only a fool would disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hortlund Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well, I dont have much of a singing voice, but if you want I can break wind every time you reply to a post. I think it would be an appropriate fanfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, been a very busy weekend. Turns will go out late this evening. Even for MrSpkr. BTW, I hate clogged injector ports on outboards. Why does the g*ddamn wrench always have to fall off the back of the boat? SSN Hint Of The Day: Assume that your place is next to the hostess. Now sod off.

Nidan1 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 YOU WANT SOME TAUNTS, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME TAUNTS!!! Well maybe just some Updates from the Front: AussieJeff : Went from playing five games a day to one turn a week. Lord knows, perhaps losing all the time is finally sinking in; " hey Jeff, this is your EGO speaking, can't you find something to do that elevates me a little? Maybe you can volunteer for the local sheep shearing festival or something? This CM stuff is not good for you, take my advice. Boo_Radley : My former Liege, though probably an upstanding member of his community and a fine family man, could not play an effective game of Combat Mission if his life depended on it. Even the act of attaching a ringing generator box to his privates and "reaching out" , cannot rouse him from the lethargy which seems to consume him. Gaylord : Though capable of the most inane and sometimes funny Thread postings, cannot figure out that the Victory Locations are a GOOD THING, and that you are supposed to get them, not run away from them. Leeo : Though he sacrifices his animated forces like a French General on the Somme, nothing he does is of tactically efficient value, other than sending his pixelated troops into "Cyber Heaven" Must work now....to be continued.......
