Oh dear, another Marine. I'll keep it simple. "P" - is for "Persiflage - (means whatever the heck I decide it means - usually something that pisses Seanachai off, which is a great side benefit)" "E" - is for "Entombment - 'interaction with Peng on any level will ensure the further entombment of one's capacity for intelligent discourse'" "N" - is for "Neanderthal - 'Peng reminds me of something that Neanderthals used to make fun of'" "G" - is for "Gargoyle - 'reading Peng's posts drives one to the same dizzying heights of intellectual rigor as does listening through one's bathroom door to the groans of a large, hungover Gargoyle suffering through a painful and embarrassing post-whiskey and -burritos diarrhetic incident." As far as you know, none of what I just typed is a vicious falsehood. [ November 02, 2003, 02:46 PM: Message edited by: dalem ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkur Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Imagine my relief when discovering the Queen of the Cesspool was Faire Emma and not some Odstralian in drag...not that there's anything wrong with that...as long as you're on the other side of the planet, that is. Anyway, all hail the Queen! SirReal: My e-mails are bouncing back as well. Might be that Anti-House of Croda™ firewall you installed on the server. I keep getting a message with your e-mail address, and underneath it: " Permanent Failure: 513_Relaying_denied." I love those moments when truth, beauty, and technology converge.

Joe Shaw Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Gawd, as if all the blooming Aussies weren't bad enough, now we've got more Gyrenes showing up. Son, since my brother is a former Marine Officer and my son is a former Enlisted Marine I'll cut you some slack and advise you ... to take the advice of the poker hand you're holding AND DIE! Look, it's not MY fault that Berli is ALSO a former Marine and Seanachai is a former AND CURRENT idiot of the first water and neither, therefore, can remember to post the freaking rules properly. You MUST be THIS high to post here ... opps sorry, that ones still under consideration, you MUST have a general location (Frederick MD will do) AND an email address in your profile or we'll just ignore you. Actually we may ignore you anyway but at least with an email address you have a slim shot at someone at least telling you to Sod Off. And that, coming from a Pooler to an SSN, is just about the best you can hope for. So ... let's see an email address (this IS the Peng CHALLENGE Thread after all, how you can challenge without an email eh?) in your profile or ... SOD OFF! Thanking you for your careful attention to this important matter, I remain ... Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Great, we have two marines here now (everyone needs to remember to talk s-l-o-w-l-y and l-o-u-d-l-y so the jarheads can try to keep up with the conversations). In further bad news, it appears the Aussies are multiplying. Swell. Congrats, Noba.

Boo Radley Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 It's 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon and there are no turns in my inbox. Now, knowing that Sirreal forgot to tighten the belt on his hamster driven server sheds light on why I've recieved nothing from him (simply because I haven't been able to send anything to him, dontchaknow). But this excuse won't work for the rest of you sorry sots. Seanachai, surprise me by sending more than one turn this week, what say you? Nidan, since you're on medical leave for the gender modification, send me a move. Noba, OK, dandle your grandchild for awhile. I'll understand. Mike-The-Squire, if you can desist in pouring Boonesfarm into your winery's bottles for a few minutes, send a move. Leeeeeeeeo, stop rehearsing for your part in the Oregonian Lumberjacks version of "Little Women" and send me a move. (And may I say that looking at that photo you sent of yourself in costume, you are just poured into that hoop skirt.) Hiram, OGSF, RLeete, Papa Kahn, clock's ticking missies!

SirReal Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Sometimes, my fearsome reputation isn't enough to bend the machines to my will. Sometimes, due to some bizarre twist of fate, I also have to actually do something to ensure correct operation. This, it seems, was one of those times. Which means that Lurkur, Boo and whatnot will no longer be able to hide behind snide remarks about my hamster training skills. In related news, I took lenience on von Lurkur's tattered form when he crawled at my feet, snivelling and crying, begging for a cease-fire. I countermanded my previous orders of annihilate the jackbooted bastarrrds and told my staunch troops to take a break from breaking heads. The result was therefore not the expected total victory, but a measly tactical one. Boo Radley, on the other hand, hasn't yet come to the same realization that Lurkur did, so I'm still in the process of dismantling his troops. Currently, he's managed to disable one of my tanks in exchange for, oh, some three or four of his tanks and a gaggle of halftracks. But who's counting. /SirReal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
