Goanna Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 AJ, I hope you do know that admitting to watching that IQ thingy (down bau . . . ah bugger it he ain't around anyway) and Conan are not exactly listing you as the sharpest tack in anyone's box. And Bard I couldn't give a fat rat's sphincter who she is, she'll die like all the rest. Unless of course she is really Maddmatt posting incognito. That would really piss me off since it would be really wasting my time to read anything by him if it went out to all you lot at te same time and wasn't just addressed to me only.

Roxy Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Grog Dorosh must have watched the 2nd movie 100 times. It took him almost three hours to send back a file. This after a half dozen exchanges in an hour. Final score: Roxy100, Grog Dorosh 0. Yes, Herr Oberst, Grog Dorosh is now in tears. I don't see why though. After all, he did hold out twice as long as he did in the first game. Don't fret Grog Dorosh. Here, dry your eyes and I'll let you use my new water-resistant mascara by Loreal. In fact, take it home with you. You may need it after our next game too. Oh, don't worry about it. It didn't cost me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUSSIEJEFF Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 .......speaking of which, a little Beowulf prose may be in order... LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped, we have heard, and what honor the athelings won! Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes, from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore, awing the earls. Since erst he lay friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him: for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve, till before him the folk, both far and near, who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate, gave him gifts: a good king he! To him an heir was afterward born, a son in his halls, whom heaven sent to favor the folk, feeling their woe that erst they had lacked an earl for leader so long a while; the Lord endowed him, the Wielder of Wonder, with world's renown. Famed was this Beowulf far flew the boast of him, son of Scyld, in the Scandian lands. So becomes it a youth to quit him well with his father's friends, by fee and gift, that to aid him, aged, in after days, come warriors willing, should war draw nigh, liegemen loyal: by lauded deeds shall an earl have honor in every clan. Forth he fared at the fated moment, sturdy Scyld to the shelter of God. Then they bore him over to ocean's billow, loving clansmen, as late he charged them, while wielded words the winsome Scyld, the leader beloved who long had ruled.... In the roadstead rocked a ring-dight vessel, ice-flecked, outbound, atheling's barge: there laid they down their darling lord on the breast of the boat, the breaker-of-rings, by the mast the mighty one. Many a treasure fetched from far was freighted with him. No ship have I known so nobly dight with weapons of war and weeds of battle, with breastplate and blade: on his bosom lay a heaped hoard that hence should go far o'er the flood with him floating away. No less these loaded the lordly gifts, thanes' huge treasure, than those had done who in former time forth had sent him sole on the seas, a suckling child. High o'er his head they hoist the standard, a gold-wove banner; let billows take him, gave him to ocean. Grave were their spirits, mournful their mood. No man is able to say in sooth, no son of the halls, no hero 'neath heaven, -- who harbored that freight! Ahhh.... such Nordic passion, to stir thy bereft bosom!!

Marlow Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Oh, fun times in Ye Old BFC Forums. First we have Senility slapping around Legend in his own mind in the debate over the relative merits of CMBO by stately PBEM, or TCIP (AKA CM for Ritalin addicts). That was very nicely played, but I can’t help but feel a little cheep and used for reading it. Really Seanachai, a little like kicking around the neighbor’s un-housebroken puppy, wasn’t it? Then we have our resident pool stooge Mikey loose on the board sharing his “wisdom” on all things AI (after all, artificial intelligence is the only type intelligence with which he has any familiarity at all). The discussion is over a new found bug that lets the AI use smoke for 120mm off board mortars, while humans cannot. Rather than bother checking himself, he misreads a post, and then spouts off at those of us that have: Originally posted by Dim Bulb: so 120mm's have smoke for both AI and human players? In which case it's not the AI that's cheating - it's dumb-f*ck humans who trust to unofficial documents and don't check what's available on their unit actino menu??!!Then later, after it is clear that he is a moron, and that humans cannot use smoke, he is quick with the “never mind.” Originally posted by Emily Litella : BTS please fix or do sumfink!! As one of the “dumb-f*ck humans,” let me say well done Mike. Lastly, the identity of our mystery guest: Roxy = Paula Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Originally posted by Roxy: Yes, Herr Oberst, Grog Dorosh is now in tears. What did you do to the poor man? Send a picture of youself along with your latest turn? And why this fascination with telling me about Grog Dorosh? I don't give a hoot how you abuse him. Feel free to fold, spindle, and mutilate him for all I care... Sheesh Roxy, we all know that while someone might be the groggliest of the grogs, that doesn't mean they can play. None would argue that Grog Dorosh's knowledge of technical stuff could fill a wide ocean (or perhaps even your jowls), but his tactical skill in CM wouldn't fill Thumbelina's bed pan.

Panzer Leader Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Seanachai slipp'd trippigly 'twixt bee-stung lips: And, finally, there is the crushing pressure of 'knowing and keeping a secret'. It's very strange for me, because I keep wanting to come into the Peng Challenge Thread and tell people: 'Jesus Christ! Do you know who's posting in the Cesspool?!', and realizing that that is precisely what I cannot do. I think you're a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkur Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Speaking of alterations, I know we have at least three Photoshop users. What was your favorite RealLife™ Photoshop job? I had one where I was doing some photos for a churches centennial celebration. They had this great shot of a warm and friendly priest among the laity that they were just aching to use. One problem: it wasn't their priest. It was some visiting clergy guy. The solution: Take some photos of the real priest and stick his head on the other guy's body (good thing they all dress alike). Best of all, I actually got to tell the designer on the project to "bring me the head of the priest." Lurk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The harder one (which Is on another CD at another location) was a longer shot of the bldg, with a lot more wires. Had to rebuild the whole side and you can't see it, but the wall is textured. Took me about 6 hours. Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkur Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Oh, and one more thing. In my Gamey-as-You-Wanna-Be match with Sir Harv, I just witnessed one of his Super Pershings put a shell through the front of my King Tiger at a range exceeding 1000m! I was ready for a "gun damaged" hit or perhaps a lucky flank shot, but it felt immoral and unnatural to see a King Tiger go down like a paltry Pzkw IV, the gamey bastige! On the other hand, he tried to run a Jumbo Sherman down the barrel of my JagdTiger, hehehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
