Oh well...

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door

He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"

The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before

And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill

And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill

But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will

Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led

Into her rooms with her tapestries red

And she never once took the crown from her head

She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young

But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won

And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun

And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye

She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"

But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry

But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread

It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"

He laid his hand then on top of her head

And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel

As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed

But I won't march again on your battlefield"

And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray

And she wanted more than she ever could say

But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away

And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man

To get all I deserve and to give all I can

And to love a young woman who I don't understand

Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break

And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached

She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait

She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard

And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word

And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred

The battle continued on

I know! It's kewl, and by "kewl" I mean totally sweet! I hear - if you feed them right - with time they turn into half-decent mortal enemies. Either that or die a slow and painful death, which can't be all that bad to watch either. </font>

I'll be gone for two weeks but as I've abandoned all CM games it won't matter in that department. I AM concerned, however, that the CessPool will fall into rack and ruin in my absence and without even the highly dubious assistance that was once lent by Boo Radley the rules will be neglected once again.

What to do, what to do.

I’d offer my services… but it could be dangerous merging the secular hierarchy with the religious hierarchy.

Still I’m overly qualified for the task… I turn up at all the wrong hours in relation to the yanks, I’m often drunk and I’m ALWAYS cranky, I’ve been trained (if it can be described as such) by your former helper and I might be able to find time to bust v42below to SSN…

Heck with traits like that do I even need to send in my CV?

PS

I’m the only one who actually noticed (and I suspect EVER notices) your post

If you can't find it with the info given, we don't want you there.

And be sure to post plenty of smack talk about me, my parentage (or lack of same), my pets, etc.

But, keep it in mind I can edit your posts.

Edited to bold the really old guy.

If no one else steps up to the plate I might have to consider making you the Probationary Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure In Training of the Peng Challenge Thread ... always assuming that Berli hasn't had you flayed and crucified first.

You don’t mind if I take that as yet another title, do you?

I’m starting to have difficulty in keeping track of them all

I'm hoping desperately for another volunteer.

I hereby volunteer to torture said personage, providing there are numerous pointy sticks for me to use.

I hate sharpening those damn things.

Give in to the dark side you must. Tell you what, instead of being my mortal enemy, you can be my Darth Vader. You have asthma, don't you? I thought you might, growing up in those softly padded, steamed up rooms at the brothel. But you must promise not to make faces at me behind that mask. I'll go and get your costume ready, I'm thinking hot pink with yellow racing stripes and a big "powered by HONDA" sticker.

The very THOUGHT of having you don the badge and pocket the bullet of the Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure of the Peng Challenge Thread is enough to turn my stomach ... which was probably your plan all along.

Still, you DID offer and as you so obnoxiously point out you were the ONLY one ... so far.

If no one else steps up to the plate I might have to consider making you the Probationary Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure In Training of the Peng Challenge Thread ... always assuming that Berli hasn't had you flayed and crucified first.

I'm hoping desperately for the later ... or another volunteer.

Joe

I hereby volunteer Harold (pictured below)

Cactus.jpg

for the position of Probationary Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure In Training of the Peng Challenge Thread. He is infinitely more qualified to perform the relevant duties than the Village Idiot, or, for that matter, you - Joe. Furthermore, Harold will take all the pricks of all the pointy sticks rleete may procure with the dutiful silence of a true Probationary Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure In Training of the Peng Challenge Thread, whereas the Village Idiot will likely squeal like a girl. Hmmm...this really does make it an even call...

Hmm Darth Vader… sounds a little lame doesn’t it really?

“Hi I’m Darth”

“Yeah sure you are buddy”

No I’ve already stated that you are a ‘smear on my life’…

Perhaps I should clarify this statement.

****e… faecal matter… turd’s… poo… greatly unpleasant stuff I think we’ll agree?

So what if I was to say… I don’t know… “the last time I saw a piece of yellow ****e like you was when I was staring at the rear end of a French Poodle” (I know, I know that begs more questions than it really implies insults but still it’s just a ‘top of my head’ hypothetical insult).

Would you be insulted?

I don’t think so… or certainly not enough anyways.

You see think about ****e for one second…

Are you thinking about ****e?

D’ya see what I see?

Yes?

****e has substance, it’s natural, it provides life for hordes of creatures, ****e has impact, community. ****e is nothing to be embarrassed of or ashamed of… we all ****e. It is BENEFICIAL to ****e, having a ****e can be relaxing… not having a ****e is bad for you. ****e matters… people study ****e or the history of ****e disposal. There are experts on dinosaur ****e because it’s really useful stuff… ****e can fertilize fields which allow agriculture & civilization & BFC & CM. I also expect that a piece of ****e could probably play Combat Mission far better than thou. Indeed, all in all, it might not be too much of a leap of imagination to claim that ****e makes us what we are!

And yet these are all traits I don’t want to bestow upon you with my, supposed, insult!

This you see is why I consider you merely a smear… I cannot think of anything good to say about a ****e smear… JUST like you.

EDITED a little bit, but to be honest I don't care... I get passionate when discussing ****e

I dare say our Village Idiot is improving. Sure, he's still rough around the edges, grammar and spelling are not his friends (but then again who can blame them) and he spends his days analysing poodle's ****e (not that there's anything wrong with that), but nevertheless there is a noticable improvement. Keep at it, boy! One day I might even consider thinking about entertaining the idea of possibly accepting a challenge from you...provided you don't get yourself crucified before then.

So it's sing-song time eh?

Ob's stürmt oder schneit,

Ob die Sonne uns lacht,

Der Tag glühend heiß

Oder eiskalt die Nacht.

Bestaubt sind die Gesichter,

Doch froh ist unser Sinn,

Ist unser Sinn;

Es braust unser Panzer

Im Sturmwind dahin.

Mit donnernden Motoren,

Geschwind wie der Blitz,

Dem Feinde entgegen,

Im Panzer geschützt.

Voraus den Kameraden,

Im Kampf steh'n wir allein,

Steh'n wir allein,

So stoßen wir tief

In die feindlichen Reihn.

Wenn vor uns ein feindliches

Heer dann erscheint,

Wird Vollgas gegeben

Und ran an den Feind!

Was gilt denn unser Leben

Für unsres Reiches Heer?

Ja Reiches Heer?

Für Deutschland zu sterben

Ist uns höchste Ehr.

Mit Sperren und Minen

Hält der Gegner uns auf,

Wir lachen darüber

Und fahren nicht drauf.

Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze,

Versteckt im gelben Sand,

Im gelben Sand,

Wir suchen uns Wege,

Die keiner sonst fand.

Und läßt uns im Stich

Einst das treulose Glück,

Und kehren wir nicht mehr

Zur Heimat zurück,

Trifft uns die Todeskugel,

Ruft uns das Schicksal ab,

Ja Schicksal ab,

Dann wird uns der Panzer

Ein ehernes Grab.

How about posting some more songs instead? I'm sure there are plenty out there.
Ok Shiney Moose, just for you...

From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli',

We fight our countrys battles In the air', on land, and sea.

First to fight for right and freedom , And to keep our honor clean,

We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marine.

Our flags unfurl'd to every breeze From dawn to setting sun';

We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun.

In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes,

You will find us always on the job - The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve;

In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.

Semper Fi Guardsman
