Joe Shaw Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Yes, yes, it's ALSO been posted before, but it's so ... topical! Twas the Night of Delivery by Joe Shaw ‘Twas the night of delivery, and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, ‘cept his trusty mouse. His wife had departed, with a steely cold glare, Said she’d be at her mother's, like he’d really care. The game had arrived, via afternoon mail, He tore up the wrapping, with tooth and with nail. He lunged to computer, popped in the disc, And started installing, with a flick of the wrist. Now ten hours later, 'twas awfully late, But he hadn’t determined, that damned Stuart’s fate. He had twelve games in email, three ICQ, A scenario brewing, he called “M4 Et Tu.” The manual was read, by monitor’s glare, To miss out on the action, he just couldn’t dare. And as he perused, the wisdom writ there, He mumbled and babbled, gripped by software. “On Nashorn, on Tiger, on Sturmgeshutz III, On Puma, On Hetzer, and Panther ausf. G, Panzerfausts, Mausers and MG42, Surely will save me, from this terrible stew.” His ISP chimed, his email he clicked, A turn there from Iggi, the guy was a dick. He fired up the program, and ran through the turn, OH NO, yet another, of his Panzers did burn. His eyes welled with tears, his sobs choked his chest, Despite all his faults, Iggi’s luck was the best. But wait, ‘twas a chance, and he took it with glee, His airstrikes surely, would make Iggi flee. And so through the night, he plotted away, In the hands of BTS, he was nought but clay. Stephen, and Charles, with unbridled ambition, Created this evil, called ... Combat Mission. Merry Christmas Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Just so's you know, to make it a might bit easier on your pointy little pinheads (the fair Ladies of the Pool excepted, of course), just as fair YK2 is called fair Emma and as fair Persephone is called fair Patch and fair Kitty is called...er...Kitty, so may fair SheWhoMustBeObeyed be called fair Rose. Oddly enough, because it is her name. p.s. Joe, I loved your rendition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas". I laughed, I cried, I got up, got another beer, came back, got up again to rearrange my shorts, sat down, typed this. How intense is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, because it is her name.I do believe that the expression "Fair" is trademarked to moi... YOUR QUEEN ... Mrs Boo can be anything she wants...

It's just not... well.. it's just not fair.... it's mine I tell you... all mine.... my precioussssssssssss... *Stumbles back to her throne* *Hic* [ December 25, 2003, 11:49 PM: Message edited by: YK2 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Only a Rose knows how good mud feels between the toes. Still haven't got the floor in, eh Boo? SSN Hint Of The Day: Hit below the belt. Now sod off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, see, when we bought the house it already had a floor in it. This must be a concept foreign to you and the cheesebox hovels you rent out. BTW, did you go door to door to your tenants yesterday, demanding rent money and if they didn't have it, you took payment with the gifts for their children?

Seanachai Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 It was never my intention to neglect a 'Merry Christmas' to the Cesspool's own Justicar. No, it was simply that it took a few days to round up the proper libation with which to toast him. Here, Joe, take this tumbler...never mind the colour, you know what they say, 'absinthe makes the heart grow fonder'. No, no, don't drink yet! Now, half this little vial goes in your glass, thusly. Yup, something new out of the rainforest...heard about it from a friend who's a Xenobotanist...stir it up good...it'll actually cover that nasty anise flavour, believe it or not. Sláinte! You've got about an hour of coherency, so you might want to run around and disconnect the phones and lock the carkeys up somewhere complicated. Oh, and don't worry about buying libations for New Year's. You're probably set now until sometime the morning of the 2nd. You've done a fine job, Joe. Say hello to Don Coyote for me.

Seanachai Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 <big>Dram #1</big> Hmm. It's very quiet in here tonight. Perhaps everyone over-indulged yesterday and is now busy sleeping it off. I feel aglow. Warm and slightly friendly. Thank God that part wears off quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
