Leeo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm part Irish, and Damned proud of it. However, I'm also a bit lazy about sending turns. Is that the Irish in me, or is it me in my cups? Is it the liquor in me, or me in the liquor? Do lambs taste like sheep? Do leprachauns have leprosy? So many questions, so many Irish who don't give a feck. On another related, but somewhat discordant note, I had coned beef and soda bread for dinner last night, and tea and scones for breakfast this morning. I'd love to get blottoed in honor of this fine day, but the doctor thinks otherwise. In any event, it'll be reuben sandwiches for dinner tonight. And maybe a Guinness. Don't tell the Doc.

It's not the actual game, it's all the skullduggery and bitchin that goes on in the course of it. Think four-way Combat Mission with a heavy dose of Peng Challenge. I vote we get the Carthage expansion and force Shaw to play. He'd make a good rules slut. I had the opportunity to go to ManyAppleLess this summer for a week. I'd have had time to arrive early and perhaps indulge in a game of whateverthehell game you lot are playing. But I TURNED IT DOWN! Why? Because I've seen insufficient evidence of the proper respect due to your Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread that's why ... well that and my boss suggested that it would be a better team building opportunity to go to San Bernardino with my team ... And, of course, I'd FAR rather go to Southern California in the SUMMER and hang out with people I talk to ALL the time about BUSINESS than spend time out on Lake ManyTonkaToys in Lar's boat ... or being wined and dined by the good Lady Shary ... or even swilling beer at dalem's hovel and cursing the Cubed Gawds of War for the strategic prediciment they'd placed me in ...
