Insuch that I'm out of practice I thought some of that sorty of cannon fodder might be nice to warm up on. Are there any of the more sickly sort of CM players still hanging out in here for my sport? I haven't gotten CMAK just yet, so it'll have to be a CMBB match. I prefer a scenario vs. QB and something smaller to start with I guess. I'll take either side. As for my own skill level... I suppose on a large enough scale I might be willing to call myself a 10. I'm the sort of player that you might like to pull out of your bag of tricks that little scheme you'd never dare try vs a good player. With myself, litterly anything could happen.... Anyone willing? Ken GET BACK, YOU CURS! How wondrous. How perfect. How magical. It's like finding a virgin posting a personals ad in the style 'nice white boy wants to meet single white girl for dirty fun' in a newsletter devoted to reporting serial crimes. Javaslinger, I honour you. Please send me your actual address. Someday, perhaps while on vacation, I'd like to come and visit you, and perhaps eat your family pets. Did Hannibal Lector have to deal with challenges like this? I think not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 That's okay, Seanachai. You'd probably just gorge yourself again and forget where you parked the car. In other news, my new laptop rocks -- you guys suck, and everyone's turns are out except Leeo, so it sucks to be him. Or not, depending upon how you look at it.

Steve I ask myself: When was the last time MrSpkr, who I beat like a gong in our last game, shuffled in here to clean my shoes with the sleeve of his Armani suit, and called me 'Master'. My quite civil response to myself was: 'Ah, Seanachai! He still pretends that he doesn't need to do so!' I consider. I ponder. I realize that certain Lawyers have not yet lost enough. Enough to make them humble. Enough to make them wise. Enough to make them realize that above Man, there are Olde Ones. Steve, I think you should lose more. You'll be the better man for it. Send me a setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall go dress in my tightest silk corset and wear the Blue Velvet Gown he brought me from his last time ashore..

**YK2** Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Time for a sing song.... Sometimes late at night.. I lie awake and watch him sleeping.. he's lost in peaceful dreams.. So I turn out the lights.. And Lay there in the dark.... And the thought crosses my mind.. If I never wake in the morning.. Would he ever doubt the way I feel.. About him in my heart.. If tomorrow never comes... If tomorrow never comes.. Will he know how much I love him.. Did I try in every way.. to show him everyday.. he's my only one..... And if my time on earth were through... he must face the world without me... Is the love I gave him in the past... Going to be enough to last.. If tomorrow never comes.... I've lost a love once in my life.. Who never knew how much I loved him.. Now I live with the regret... That my true feelings for them.. never were revealed... So I made a promise to myself.. To say each day how much he means to me.. And avoid that circumstance.. Well there's no second chance.. to tell him how I feel... If tomorrow never comes.. Will he know how much I love him Did I try in every way to show him everyday he's my only one And if my time on earth were through he must face the world without me Is the love I gave him in the past Going to be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of..

Mouse Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Damnation, I thought I was free of all this... I never should have run up the bow line of that scow in the harbor... but they were shipping out and those cats were chasing... grumble... grumble... So Hoe Squaw needs recommendations for a new computer? Well, generally I like to recommend hardware that performs the anticipated tasks well, but is not at the price point where you are still paying for the 'newness' factor, while still attempting to hold to the line that "Any machine you have to wait for is, by definition, too slow." For most, I would recommend a P4 2.4GHz or 2.6GHz processor with the 800 MHz frontside bus and hyperthreading, although if you only run single applications at a time, you should tweak the hyperthreading off. Memory should be 1 GB. Less is soooo passe... Video cards are tough, as I am an nVidia fan (GeForce 4 Ti 5700 was my last purchase). The exact model can be debated, but look for the fastest GPU MHz, 'cause like the CPU, faster is better. Likewise, 128 MB RAM on the video card and DirectX 9 support are de rigeur. So in your case, Hoe Squaw, I think an abacus strikes the right balance. Very affordable, and it won't process at a speed that overtaxes your neurons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look there, Smythe, that sorry excuse for a cannon-swaddler thinks he's boarding my Jack-ass barque (A real type of ship, and with a name like that, how could I resist?). Har, har, har, wait till he finds out he's tangled up ol' Admiral Berli's flagship and he's now proceeding to liberate the Dark One's own evil parrot. Look at that, ee's cut off the head of Berli's lucky marmot, all the while thinking it to be me own scurvyness. Arrr, the sea's got no place fer a man who can't tell a marmot from a hamster! Well, yes, Dalem, 'ee is far astern, that's why I've used me spyglass to watch the action. Aye, just like the one yer usin', except ye've got it turned around, and it looks as if ye've lacquered both ends. Aye, I'm sure her royal majesty would like a lacquered spyglass, given that she's sufferin' from a damned sight o' the madness, likely better off if ya stop feastin' her on them psychedelic frogs that one-armed Amy gave ye back at San Peng de la Sonrisa Santa. Aye, she sure did like ya in that corset, even with all yer blubberin'. I must confess, Smythe, I'm worried. Aye, Shaw's post was witty, humorous in intent and execution, and its a bad sign. I've been rubbin' my bracelet of the Church of the Gnome like Leeo on Berli's parrot. But it's not that. To get to Cess Island, we'll have to pass through the Straits of Wild-Eyed Boredom! On one side is the monstrosity known as Gaylord Focker, who if we sail too close to we shall never again see another day of scuppers and roses. But just as terrible a fate lays on the other, where JasonC, Dorosh, Germanboy and a dozen other of the groggiest grogs ever to have slogged the board await, ready to snatch the unwitting sailor and lecture him on the misrepresentation of the 1941 Canadian canteen within CM and its obvious effects on the rightward slant of the Lee-Enfield two-step pocketknife. Batten down the hatches, Smythe, and tell the queen to put her clothes back on, we don't need any more of those kind of distractions, it'll take all my wits, and your one wit as well, to get through there alive!
