As I thought. He thinks of me constantly.

I'd feel ennobled, if he wasn't a bloody Southerner.

Isn't it nice to know, Hakko, that we are always here? You are never alone, my son.

Good lord, Stuka, you're flying planes and having some sort of illicit affair with Keith Richards?

Gosh, think of the options:

Mel Gibson

Paul Hogan

Russel Crowe

Carrot Top

Mel Gibson

Not much of a list, and Gibson was born in the States.

I suppose Hogan wins by a nose over Carrot Top. What a sad, sad isle.

Perhaps you're confusing Carrot Top with Yahoo Serious? Easily done, I understand.

But before we begin trashing and thrashing all things from Upside Down Land, we need to give special amnesty to AC DC.</font>

Yes, thats quite correct, I am 'getting a bit on the side' with an aging rocker.

Funny thing is, Keith thinks I'm Paul Hogan.

BTW, Seanachai don't you have an announcement to make?

Or are you still thumbing through your thesaurus for alternative words to 'gamey set-up totally rigged towards the defense'?

Ignorance. These are all posing, contemporary idjits who are not 'heroes', although they fall all over themselves like street-walkers diving after a loose tenner to play them in the movies.

An Australian 'hero' that immediately comes to mind is Ned Kelly.

Don't sulk, Stuka, it's not right for your...idiom.

Yes, indeed, I have to announce that I have crushed another Australian, Stuka, in fact, who'd quite handily won both our previous games.

What made this game more significant than our previous games is the fact that I won, I won quite well, and that it resulted in the Crushing of another Australian!

It was also distinguished, I have to admit, by the fact that I simply can't imagine how Stuka's American attackers could have won this one without direct, heavenly intervention (apologies, Berli).

He did try, and showed quite credible fortitude (although no more sense than one of Mace's sheep).

But in the end, the unnaturally one-sided scenario, and the forces of Righteousness triumphed, and Stuka was properly humiliated.

He, of course, poor lamb, points out that Alexander the Great couldn't have won this one from his side of the map. And all I can say is, "well, yes, Stuka, but he never got the chance to ride silly motorcylces, either, and the gods weren't cruel enough to make him Australian, which is how he got the whole 'the Great' thing tagged on. So it's still a bloody big fat loss for you, my Aussie nemesis."

Now, we will play another, most likely a good scenario by Andreas, who's a good designer. The tide having swung, I imagine this will also result in another, hopefully humiliating defeat for Australia's dirt-bike Warriour.

{snort} ... OH ... I mean RIGHT Seanachai, absolutely {snigger}, why that's the ticket for certain {ah me}. An Andreas scenario {chortle}, the very thing to give the lad who needs a balanced scenario {chuckle}.

Ah you've done it again Seanachai ... mind it's nothing more than the non-double blind playing swine deserves.

Them's fightin' words, lad. Accusin' a 'Pooler of being a grog is tantamount to questioning his lineage during his wedding -- not a wise idea.

Like any other disease or blight, you must be eradicated. I challenge you, backwards ass, to a double blind scenario. I would ask the Justicar to serve as my second. Name yours and let's get down to the business of killing you.

That sir, is a flagrent falsehood. If Persephone has any flaw, it is her dislike of The Duke. I, on the otherhand, am a great fan of The Duke. I do question your piss poor opinion of which of his films is the best. Of the Cavalry Trilogy, Horse Soldiers is the best... though I can see why a pig ignorant southerner (redundent, yes?) such as yourself might not agree. Movies which are better than your questionable choice include:

True Grit

Chism

Big Jake

The Shootist

The Cowboys

The Quiet Man

The Alamo

and one of my personal favorites...

Donovan's Reef

Do you know, after watching the rather sordidly prancing activities on the 'Bren Tripod Redux' thread, it's rather reassuring to come in here and read an ongoing argument on the movies of John Wayne.

Makes more bloody sense. And the invective is clean, and a straight forward sort of 'you gibbering idiot, how can you begin to think that' opinionation, without that lip-wrinkling after-taste of Grog-smarm and dislike you see elsewhere in the world.

I mean, wouldn't anyone prefer 'gods, you're a sodding idiot, but I suppose that's no fault of yours, given how many times fate has bashed you between the eyes for being a fool' sort of argument, as opposed to the snide, 'I am Ozymandias, King of Grogs' sort of posting you see in the Outer Boards all too often.

Oh, tra-la.

I come to the Peng Challenge Thread to soothe my soul. What a horrible concept.

But when you consider all the posturing idjits in the world, all the horrible arrogance, viciousness, stupidity, and utter vileness...

Well, it seems rather cheery in here, doesn't it? I mean, people ready to call each other fu...er, extremely bad things over their stance on 'Bren Tripods' seems utterly foolish when it comes to calling each other the same, perfectly true and applicable things over which John Wayne movie was the best. I mean, we're still watching John Wayne movies. No one's given a rat's arse about Bren Tripods for years. Probably better to get your knickers in a bind over something you might have shared last night, rather than something that hasn't mattered a damn in 50 years.

Oh, and John Wayne was not, as Goanna has stated, a Nazi. He was, on the other hand, an extremely annoying and conservative fascist arse. It's not quite the same thing.

And rightly so. I only stray occasionally. Usually it's where the original post does not give scope to a prolonged and thorough treatment. Although, now that I think of it, there's very few posts like that in the Universe. I mean, a man should be able to spread himself widely on most any point.

With most of this lot, it's a waste, of course. But the exercise keeps the mind supple, and the folk dismissive.

"Wots all that mean, then? Lotta big words to say a simple thing. Bloody toffs. Think the whole worlds fer them, don't they?" sound of spitting

You might still be watching John Wayne movies, but that's because you're a raddled auld sot who's always in search of another line to steal.

You could more usefully spend your sunset years composing another set of Rules for the MBT, for I hear the heavy tramp of the bald one's feet. Here, I'll get you started:
