Yeknodathon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oh Bravo. But why are we putting perfectly good alcohol on the boat? Can't think of any other way to get the little bugger into the vessel. Sort of a hindu sati death rite by Munchhauseen proxy.. or sumfink. Granted, different gender, religion but once lit I'm very sure these considerations will pale into insignificance as the frieght container of destiny bears down on the little kayak of futility.

Wolfp MkII Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oh Bravo. But why are we putting perfectly good alcohol on the boat? dunno...maybe to attract largish, blonde, shrilling women wearing steel kepis and riding overfed white horses.

Joe Shaw Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No, not you either, you aging bugger. Sit down over there, and be quiet.

Yeknodathon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ... indeed, I clearly recollect the Justicar bursting through the Paddock shed doors during some very dark, wintry nights and in the door way with arms akimbo and showing off a tight-fitting breastplate, helm and interesting high-platform leg-wear announcing to me "you ain't exactly white, but you'll do". And then manfully striding over the loose chickens to thrust a sweet carrot into my mouth to declare in one ear, "laddie, when we get up a good sweat", I recall that his whispers were electrical in the frost-ripe air with all the gritted determination of someone intent on their pleasure, "I want you to honk "Olde One"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Joe Their's (that was for you bloat...dope...tote...Stella; yes, that's it...I shall refer to you as Stella, as it is much more befitting and memorable. I kept the S and t to minimize confusion on your part. Don't thank me, consider it a favor.) a notable lack of targets in the AO. Do you think you could have one of your man-dress wearing pixilated terrorists stand up and wave? Specular refraction and reflection is playing havoc with my GLID, and my CAS stack is doing nought but burning holes in the sky. A little assist before they go BINGO fuel and have to RTB for a cold one would be much appreciated.Now see some of that I actually understood although I'm not at all confident that you've used proper terminology. Bingo fuel and RTB are more commonly used with aviation assets and I'm quite certain that the Marine Corps wouldn't enstrust YOU with a left over Piper Cub that last flew in Korea ... in 1952. As to the lack of targets you might continue doing what you've been doing ... firing random bursts into the ground in the hopes of scaring a rabbit into bolting. I've always suspected that your tactics would be limited to recon by fire. Perhaps if you could persuade your brave young Leathernecks to put up the Mahjong game and step OUT of the vehicle ... but then troops take on the attitude of their commander. I suppose we should be grateful that YOUR Marines are still wearing combat boots instead of ballet slippers. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabal23 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 It sounds like the stuff of legends and heroes to me. This is what commendations are handed out for. Every now and then someone puts their life aside and makes an attempt to do something that will rightfully get them killed. In effect what happens is through some grace of god or just luck, the tables are turned and it works in favor of the little guy. Happens all the time and can be found all throughout military literature and true stories. Nothing gamey about that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my first CMBB battle with Peng... Me: "Why are your tanks blasting away at those empty buildings near the flags on turn 1?" Peng: "Ha! You just want me to believe your men aren't all hiding away in them, waiting for me!!!" Me: "This is a Meeting Engagement." Peng: "Damn!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeknodathon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ... I can also reveal that the Justicar has barely a few variations on just one technique as a method of engagement. Obviously, these variations were somewhat stymied and fruitless against the rigid placement of a rubber gnome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn sent, though only because I felt like sending it, I certainly don't take orders from a BOOT Knight.

Joe Shaw Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 ...Who, praytell, is Peng?Fleatick you may as well ask who is Fire ... for they are both elements of nature. You may as well seek Peng as you seek enlightenment for both expand your mind (and in your case I suspect it's desperately needed). You may as well aspire to BE Peng as you would aspire to be ... well, in YOUR case human. Peng is MrPeng and so far above your miserable station in life as to appear Olympian ... of course that's comparing him to you ... to us he is simply ... Peng. You may have noticed that my explanation was not, perhaps, as complete as you might like ... tough ... you are an SSN, a Scum Sucking Newbie and you should be pathetically grateful to receive so much as a curled lip snarl and the back of our hand. If you were looking for the Welcome Wagon you've come to the wrong place. Read the first post in this thread, despite that fact that it was written by Leeo and is therefore, by definition, substandard, it may suffice to acquaint you with the groundrules here. If not ...
