Boo Radley Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Oh I am Boo Radley ... I am. But duty calls ... I'm going out of town again ... to Des Moines again ... again. And that means you must take hold of the reins, put the tiller over and set the trim tabs for level flight so that the Peng Challenge Thread doesn't lose it's way in the absence of your Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread ... it may forget what the hell it's riding with all those mixed metaphors but that won't be my problem. Once again it'll be up to you, as the duly appointed Auxilliary Backup Deputy Justicar of the Peng Challenge Thread, to protect, preserve and defend the Sacred Traditions of the Peng Challenge Thread and, among other things, ensure that Seanachai doesn't start making Olde Ones out of SSNs ... there's no telling what he will do when he's in his cups ... and really, when isn't he. That you will disappoint me is a given ... I only hope that I won't be TOO disappointed. Joe What? I sort of dozed off there after you said, "Oh".

Yeknodathon Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 ...or a donkey's? In fact, he's got nice, burnable hair all over and should make a good torch. Cheeky little pyromaniac, you want the Bangkok special full fire suit and breathing apparatus with high pressure water hose treatment again? Into the shed you go!

Yeknodathon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I understand Scunthorpe is subsiding slowly into the bog. What a pity...l And yet so little you know... Scunthorpe is the universal bog which swallows us whole no matter how we struggle only to push us up many years later in a leathery preserved condition. It is, Michael, an inescapable quagmire. Much like yourself but on a far grander scale. Now, have you managed to strike the right end of your match sticks or do we need to give you some help?

Yeknodathon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 ... and as we we wait an interminable length of existence for Michael to fathom his tricky matchstick issues, a little tune to while away the time... You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Mike, we couldn't get much higher Come on Michael, light my fire Come on Michael, light my fire Try to set the night on fireEEER The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre Come on Michael, light my fire Come on Michael, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, HONK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lars Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Of course. Lars merely speaks a polyglot of 'Western Metro Lakeside', 'Mound Exurb Third Convocation' and 'Extremely Goofy Drunk Danish Bastard'. Hell, I learned the first of those before I ever left High School, picked up the second working with Bail Bondsmen, and a life of aimlessness and chemical use left me fluent in the third. On any given night, I can translate Lars with a 95% accuracy rating. Hell, Lars can't translate himself with that much accuracy. Should I mention his latest bit of illogic when he tried to explain that a 'Card Held at the End of a Turn' was the same thing as 'A Card You Can Hold In Your Hand'? And by 'hold in your hand', he appeared to mean 'unlike the cards you can hold with your feet'. Seriously, playing a game with Lars is like watching chipmunks do gymnastics. You can see it happening, it's bizarrely and even impressively athletic, but there doesn't seem to be any point to it. You just keep wishing the cat would come out and bite his head off. In my defense, I looked it up the next day on the relevant forum, and there was a two page thread on whether or not you could discard a scoring card on that part of the Space Race, only settled by the designer of the game himself weighing in. Besides, what's a good wargaming session without a rules fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly, I'm twice the donkey I used to be, There's a dingle hanging over me, Oh, Emrys came suddenly. Why he Had to go I don't know, he wouldn't say. I said, Something *HONK*, now I *HONK* for Emrys. Emrys, HONK was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I uneased an Emrys. Why he Had to go I don't know, he wouldn't say.

I do prophesize that he is the Honky One who can bring balance to the Versification. So it is written, so it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Actually, if either of you slack-wits were really on the ball (Wow, now there's really a completely impossible concept) you'd actually print up a complete set of fake rules (that are only slightly different from the real rules) and require that Seanachai study them before the game (Like that could ever happen). And then, during the game, completely confuse him*. (*Of course this could also be done just by putting alcohol just our of arm's reach on either side of him. He wouldn't be able to decide which way to go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
