Herr Oberst Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Herr Oberst has been sick, ill, under the weather, "shot-at-and-missed, sh---- (well, you know the rest)", etc, etc, etc... No turns have been processed in around 10 days, and I have barely managed an hour to kill myself online multiple times attempting take-offs in those Russian pieces of crap they mistakenly call airplanes. My doctor told me to take it easy for the next week, and stay away from questionable environments. While she did not speak specifically about the Cesspool, I'm quite sure that this is the exact place she was speaking of... I thought I would take a peek. You know, just a page or two of the MBT. Just enough to get the blood going again, like testing out a newly healed bone. And what appears on the monitor but this. Surely the Gods have smiled upon me and provided me an entre back into posting. A setup which in my healthier days would be passed over as too easy, but which today strikes a resonant chord, tempting me, teasing me, calling me. So here goes (I feel better already)... <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Seanachai: Ah, how I would have loved to post more this evening, but was taken away by duties more flavourful.

No, this is Seanachai's Lamb Stew, famed in song and story. <hr></blockquote> Did you check most carefully the origin of your lamb? Did it come complete with garter belt and brassiere? We all know that Mace likes a rack on a lamb... Are you quite sure that you did not, in fact, cook up one of Mace's old, ahem, girlfriends, and that your, er, Ambrosia is not a result of, um, Mace's Secret Sauce?

It pretty much went as my versification above described. I killed Croda's German clankity bits with, let's see... 1 was from the 76mm on an M10, 1 was from the .50 cal on a Sherman, 1 was a front-on moving shot from a 75mm Sherman, and I think the other 6 were all side shots from the Shermans at close range. Looks like I get my dog's ear back finally. I forget, did you have both or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this is Seanachai's Lamb Stew, famed in song and story. This stew could make Peng smile, Berli show mercy, and Shaw post briefly. It could add 5 years to the life expectancy of Iskander's liver. It would cause Lawyer to murmur 'nolle prosequi'. One bowl would make Hiram, Sir Eeyore himself, dance, laugh, and become quite jolly. One helping of this stew would make Bauhaus refuse to rise from the table, until he'd been given another serving, no matter what the provocation of suggestive postings. A single ladleful of this stew would cause Moriarity, Stuka, and Mark IV to stand cheek to jowl, and sing "We are Poor Little Lambs, that Have Lost Our Way", with soulful looks. Goanna, after tasting, would declare it 'a bit of alright', and curse the years he'd spent eating insects and smaller reptiles. After a good meal of this stew, with a crusty bread accompaniment and a decent red wine, Simon Fox would be heard to actually laugh in a pleasant and carefree manner. Finally, eating this stew would bring about a life change in Mace, who would stand forth weeping, declaring 'How deeply I regret the years I wasted in carnal knowledge of these beautiful animals, when they could have been more gainfully employed in making this Ambrosia.' Okay, some of the above may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's truly a damn good stew.<hr></blockquote> Seanachai, could I have a copy of your recipe? Berli has some Peng bread starter in the refrigerator and I was just thinking that Seanachai's Lamb Stew and Peng's Bread would go very well together.

Sledge59 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Free MrPeng! C'mon people, this game just is't the same without our favorite looney in his proper attire. Clearly the stakes were too high, permanent loss of name... BAH! Even a blood hamster match only exacts a penalty for a month. It couldn't possibly be clearer that conspiracy is the cause.

Goanna Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Just a quick note to inform several folks that they are approaching being named as a wuss here in this hallowed forum by the ÜberLizard for the following misdeeds: mrspkr Owes us a turn since 13 Jan in a game with only two turns left. We think he is not liking his chances and is hiding behind Hiram's couch. He wussiness is grwoing by the minute. Seanachai Obviously doesn't give a fat rat's arse about the name of Peng, or is an incompetent boob that cannot even open the scenario editor (you picke em) since he still owes me his purchases in the Wrath of the Gnome vs. wussl wussl is growing in wussishness almost incomprehensible by not forwarding a photo to squire Persephone for her own nasty uses. he claims "he doesn't have one". Bollocks, I say. Hands up now, who works at a government funded lab that doesn't have access to a digital camera along with every ohter piece of geekware known to man? Exactly, no one and he is just a wuss. Hell even the Victorian Bureau of Petrol Sniffing that Mace works at has a digital camera. Wussmania is even creeping into the deep southern Wisconsin region overnight as no turns have been received from Berli, bauhaus or Moriarty. Let's see, the Bears are out of the playoffs, it's colder than a witch's teat out and nobody's throwing around HE or pathogens in the US these days, so what could you lot have to do other than send me turns at work?
