Boo Radley Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lad, it's necessary for a Liege to TAKE a Serf to Squire in order for said Serf to become a Squire ... that never happened ... it would never happen. Joe Because Joe has standards. Low standards, to be sure, but standards none the less. And if you don't like them, he has others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herr_oberst Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Let me see if I can translate this correctly... Hairy O'breast ... I 'll make you a deal ... we'll do a Blood Hamster match, just you and me, ... Translation: "Here herr_oberst, poke yourself in the eye with this pointy stick..." If you win I'll officially take you to Squire and instruct you as I've instructed all my Squires Translation: "And if you win, you get to poke yourself in the other eye with this pointy stick..." Erm... no thanks. Although the the evil side of me is tempted to accept your challenge and simply proxy the turns off to Buzzsaw so that he can trounce you down into the mud. Why would he accept? Well, for starters, he'd get to eviscerate the head of a competing House (I'm thinking House Atreides vs House Harkonnen here) and could make the truth known after the fact if he wins, and if he loses, well, I was the one playing you Old Foul Joe, wasn't I? That kind of maneuver sounds, well, almost Rune-esque, doesn't it? Aah, and back to the sig posting: Four times have I posted a la Hamster, and four times I have smitten thee...

While Shaw's resemblance to Baron Harkonnen is well documented (see below), the plan loses its luster now that it is out in the open, doesn't it? Besides, I think I have already sufficiently humbled the Shavian House with my brilliant victory over his lackey and the brutal lashes I have administered here in the MBT. Recent posts have clearly revealed that Shaw's house canon is crumbling, and I would not want any contagion to spread to the Cesspool itself and upset what passes for order here. The few remaining Blood Hamster Sigs should be enough to keep his recent wounds open and ensure a nasty scar. Baron Harkonnen or Joe Shaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ohh.... that's not too bad! That's just a little bit of adolescent acne he has going on there! All he needs is a little bit of Clearasil. Or... maybe some Cruex. Yeah... he might want to slather on a couple of tubes of Cruex. The industrial strength kind. Just to be safe.

Well, given his poor hygiene the acne is expected. I am more worried about what looks to be a horn sprouting on the right side of his head. Gives credence to the idea that Shaw is the product of some drunken union between Berli and Peng. I knew Peng drank a lot -- just didn’t know it was that much. Perhaps he was passed out and Berli had his way with him? The theory fits well, as nepotism is one of the best explanations for why the Olde Ones left the Justicar title to someone who is so obviously incompetent. (Drunkenness and indifference are other leading possibilities.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzsaw Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Boo, I am not surprised you are so attached to your letter “H” since it is the only consonant you have, but something felt very wrong, and I am not ashamed to admit that I turned to Wikipedia for the answer. You are clinging to a horrid pseudo-consonant, with the appropriately filthy sounding description of “voiceless glottal fricative”. No, this is not one of the many “services” available in the dark alleyways and dim restrooms of greater Akron, but the definition of a consonant so weak and breathless that its only recourse is latch onto a nearby vowel and to be swept along on its coattails. The parallel with known Ohioans in the MBT is quite obvious. You are but a faint whisper attempting to eke out some meaning by associating with the greater voices here in the Cesspool. Such a sad and pathetic sight, that I am moved to offer you succor: Accept my challenge and make your voice heard in the tumult of a battle well-fought; accept not, and continue your shadowy, voiceless existence in the shallows of the Pool. The choice is yours. N.B.: Don’t get me started on Iowa, and that abhorrent “double-u”. Together your states make for a Scrabble rack nightmare. In variations where places names are allowed, both states would still be unplayable due the prohibition against profanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzsaw Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 And before you make a case for the sanctity of your state name based on some association with the noble savages who named your river, let’s all agree that the Pratchett rule of intra-language geographic nomenclature almost certainly applies in this case. When the first white settler asked “What is that?” while pointing to the river, the reply was probably along the lines of “What kind of porcupine-buggering idiot doesn’t know what a big river is?”. Some abbreviation was obviously necessary, so while it is possible that your state name means “big river”, it is equally possible that it means “porcupine-buggering idiot.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a sad and pathetic sight... That's pretty cold. You should just drop a penny in the lad's cup and pat him on the head as you pass by. Granted, there is a risk that you might pick up some lice that aren't compatible with the lice you already have, but we're all part of the Great Circle of Life, aren't we? Except for Shaw and Stuka of course. No one knows just what they are. Probably wandered over from some parallel universe where everything is backwards and upside down.

Michael Not a good idea to give the lad any cash. He'll just end up in those dark Akron alleys trying to find out if he can get some voiceless glottal fricative. Best get him an ample supply of pentobarbitals. He can take as need, or all at once if he wants maximum relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Is that some kind of soccer game thing? Kinda ... but it's so weird that only an Australopithecine could enjoy it. They run with what looks like a rugby ball for a while and then, for no discernible reason, suddenly stop and kick it toward a goal. Presumably there are some rules involved since there are referees at the games. Here's a photo of one of them indicating ... I dunno ... maybe that crocodile ate one of the players or that a Frenchman has surrendered someplace in the world ... Note the lovely white zoot suit he's wearing ... And the scoring, here's an absolute cut and paste of a score I stumbled across ... Geelong 14.14 (98), Hawthorn 9.13 (67) ... from this we can probably deduce that Geelong (whatever) won but I have no idea what the fractions mean or the score in parenthesis means ... and no, I don't WANT to know what they mean. It's a weird game for a weird people. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
