Seanachai Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Where is my thuggish henchman, Boo Radley? I almost called him, tonight. But then, I thought about the fact that it was 3 AM in Ohio... So I had another drink. And I just listened to music. She rises from a double bed And puts her blue dress on And goes out to the kitchen Where the table's set for one She imagines there's a gentleman Where there's just a winter sun And life had just begun. She wanders to the window And gazes at the cold And looks back at the letter That is lying on the floor That was brought by a man in uniform From the Secretary of War Regrets come to her door. Old men talk of the Beast That held the Germans in its sway And we gave them bloody hell Until we drove the Beast away But the Beast got up, and he looked around And he crossed the northern seas And settled in with you, and me. Broad is the road that leads to death That's what the poets say Thousands walk together there Go blindly on their way And wisdom shows a narrow path Available to man But it doesn't play as well on CNN You talk about your patriots And your fancy flying bombs But modern war is a bloody hell When all is said and done. The rich will eat their caviar And the poor will feast on sand. That's how it's always been. Back in the kitchen She's sitting there alone And she'll sit right there For another 40 years Till God will bring her home It's one more day in the land of the Beast Beneath a winter sun When all is said, and done.

Yeknodathon Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 [... and as the winter sun of hope sheds a wan pool of morning light across the hard, vast acres of cold eternity there is brisk activity from behind the Paddock shed with something dark and heavy and a rather well-used rubber toy] *snort* Good morning Mr Gnome! Truth and Justice, Truth and Justice, Truth and Justice and a sponge bath. A cold, wet, frosty sponge bath for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, SSN's, what can you do with them? Hush, now! Like anyone jumped to your fecking defense, you silly bastard! Mind, I'm after being glad to know that you're alright. When are you coming home, you bugger?

Joe Shaw Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm bitterly disappointed lads, bitterly so. I attempted to find a photo of those goofy Australian Rules Football referees, you know, the ones that look like they're wearing a white zoot suit and make bang bang signals upon scoring ... or maybe not scoring ... hard to tell actually. It would appear that they've changed the uniforms since the last time I saw them. I'm bitterly disappointed. It's just not RIGHT to take away a perfect opportunity to make fun of yet ANOTHER goofy thing about Australia ... other than Mace that is.

I look forward to another visit. You can see the new baby too. You will be glad to know that Kathleen (Katie) is in the running for a name.Kathleen...it's a lovely name, you know. She was such a pugnacious, lively child. And such a bossy, loving adult. I miss her immensely. When I dream of her, lately, she has her hair back. It makes me cry, when I wake up, but it makes me glad. We always called her 'Kathy'. When she got older, and took her life into her own hands, she always insisted on 'Kat'. We always honoured that, but amongst ourselves, her sisters and I still always called her 'Kathy'. If you name her Kathleen, I'm willing to bet she'll be a tough, loving and capable person. Eh, feck it. I think I'll go off, have a good cry, and pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng cavscout Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Losing a loved one is the hardest thing I have gone through in this life Seanachai. I don't know if I ever told you lot why I dropped off the board back in 2003. We lost one of our daughters. Anna's twin sister Olivia was still born. things like the board took a back seat to grief. It took over a year before I came back. I am sorry for your loss Seanachai.

Joe Ok I am on a quest to find a picture of the good old fashioned goal umpire, we were all pretty pissed off when they lost the white trenchcoat and went yuppie on us. While I am looking here is some info about the game for your enjoyment www.frogandtoad.com.au/home/sports.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what the media says, only the US and Britian have any personnel on the ground in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng cavscout Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Someone might want to explain that to the Czechs, the Poles, the Danes, the Slovaks, the Japanese, the Bulgarians, the El Salvadorans, and the Iraqis I see here on a daily basis. Still, I would love to see a Panzer Grenadier battalion rolling down the highway in their Marders. On another note, can anyone recommend or disqualify the Panzer Campaign games by HPS? The wife authorized me to get a couple of new games, and I was looking at them online today. Unfortunately Grognards isn't ready for purchase yet, neither is Drop Team, and I already own all three CM games. Oh, speaking of secrets, Nidan is a gamey Bastiche who kills innocent pixeltruppen from ambush, and uses all kinds of unrealistic gamey stratagems while mopping the board with me.

Yes, I'm sure the other nationalities make up for a large percentage of foreign soldiers in Iraq... hopefully the Vietnamization of the conflict works better.
