“Barry comes out and tells him of a news special on the TV in the cantina” Barry can talk? Way Cool. Can he sing also?

My good ole Gryphin, haven't you ever heard of Barry the singing T-ReX? Do to my extensive scientific research thru the years, I have picked up some of Dinosourisificatesitis, which is the study and learning of different types of Languages of the various types of creatures that inhibit or use to inhibit this fair system. Those grunts, growls, etc, that one hears from Barry and others like him are actually a form of communication, thanks to Dinosourisificatesitis, I was able to understand his meaning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Raging Deadstar slowly parks up outside the cantina. Maybe would have shouted a cheeky comment but then again, if GT's comedy violence is as legendary as it is, he wasn't messing with the wife! Turns round to see Taz stagger out of the new ships hull, drink in each hand! Taz falls againts Raging Deadstars Dreadnought and activates the cargo doors, which fall down to reveal boxs of drink piled up bought on tiggas tab. Raging Deadstar whistles innocently and closes the doors. Drags one of the 2 Bill Gates clones he kept around for torture, throws to Barry to cheer hims up and narrowly avoids the large shower of blood before requesting a pantera song. Orders Bill Gates Clone 2 to walk into the cantina, watches as it implodes by the GHB, scoops up the remains and puts it on a plate for puke, finishing it off with two carribean umberellas.

Sits down, pulls out his laptop and continues plotting his 5 Stage attack on the Chowder imperium. The Muse Republic shall not be beaten! Looks down and realises he pressed end turn before moving the other ten fleets! DOH

Dogscoff, Tigga and Gryphin & whoever

The University of BJSBB has a large number of courses that are conclusive in regards to the scientific research of various aspects of those topics in question. Some of the most note worthy for Freshman (all new students at the U.) are listed as follows. They may be taken within l semester but recommendations are to be liberal and spread them out in order to more fully enjoy the mental and psyical aspects of these learning tools.

If anyone has other courses that they would like BJSBB to consider please feel free to list them here in the cantina and I shall see that the faculty gives them consideration.

Are they Real or Implants 101 3 credit hrs

Does One Size Fit all 104 2 credit hours

How to stretch Bikinis to embrace those who are well endowed 102 5 credit hrs

The Right & Wrong Way to Jiggle On the Beach 3cr hrs

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
Ragnarok pulls up in parking lot with brand new Dreadnaught and steps out. Turns around and looks at his new baby and then walks into the cantina. Gives the Bill Gates 2 clone a swift kick where it counts the most and says "That's for... Well I don'tk now but it's for something. I'm sure everyone agrees with me as well. Then orders a round of the most expensive booze for everyone here. (Of course on Taz tab) Looks around the room and says, "Hey everyone! Look at my new ride! Ain't she a beaut! 0 to 3 light years in under 10 seconds. One of the fastest in her class. I just finished adding a few mods to it to spruce her up." Everyone looks and ooooo's and ahhh's over it. Takes a gander at his watch and says, "Welp boys and girls, I must be going, enjoy your round of booze and the rest of your weekend. I shall return late Sunday night or Monday sometime." Then nods his head, takes a final sip and walks out and into his new Dread. Engages engines and bLasts off to another system at ludicris speeds.

dumbluck August 24th, 2002 11:34 AM

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
dumbluck pulls into the quiet parking lot. No-one seems to be around, the lot is empty, and a very large, very carnivorous looking dinosaur is off in a corner, dozing inside it's dinosaurhouse. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Shaking his head, but unable to resist his curiosity, dumbluck parks as close to the door as possible (just in case a quick getaway is required). Opening the cockpit door of his 15 engine Light Cruiser (QNP, of coarse), he glances at the dinosaur; it doesn't stir. Anxiously dumbluck creeps forward and puts his ear to the front door. Only silence is to be heard.

Never, ever, ever since it's construction had dumbluck seen the Phong's head this quiet, this... deserted. dumbluck couldn't stand it. He wondered where all these crazy people had gone off to, or at least why they had left. He knew better than to hope that they had left for good. Besides, he wasn't going to get a better opportunity than this to go inside and get a quick look around, maybe see why the place is so popular. With one Last anxious glance over his shoulder at the dinosaur (is that a purple valet's vest it's wearing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif ), he opened the door and quickly slipped quietly inside.

Or tried to. As soon as the door opened, the Graviton Hellbore just inside the doorway began to noisily power up. But it was too late, dumbluck was already inside. A small box connected to the GHB began to chirp and beep loudly as scanning lasers swept over his body. Instinct took over, and dumbluck tried to back out of the door. But the door had already shut behind him, and as he pressed his back against it, he stared down the muzzle of the large weapon. After a few seconds, the scanning lasers disappeared, and the GHB began to power back down.

In hindsight, dumbluck should have just turned around and left right then. But his curiosity could not be denied, and so he steeled his nerves and walked out of the antechamber into the bar itself. Immediately, about 20 large, fuzzy bunnies bounced over, rubbing the sleep from their eyes as they stumbled over each other in their eagerness. Before he knew what was happening, they had whisked him off his feet and carried him over to the bar. They plop a drink down in front of him as he is forced onto a barstool.

"What's this," asks dumbluck, not really expecting an answer. He seems to be the only person here, unless you count the escaped rabbit circus.

To his amazement, the bunnies reply in unison, "It's tea. Some of our regulars like it. Where's your mug?"

dumbluck stares at them in disbelief. Talking rabbits? What in the world??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Absently he reaches for the offered drink as he tries to wrap his mind around these sentient rodents communicating and serving drinks. He sputters as the liquid fire burns it's way down his gullet. "What kind of tea is this?!" he exclaims, noting the acid burns on the bar where the liquid spilled from his cup as he threw it down.

"Why, it's Rhode Island Iced Tea, of coarse. What other tea would be served in a bar," replied the largest rabbit of the bunch. "How about some music," it continued, and promptly one of the other bunnies bounded off to the jukebox.

As the music (if it could be called that) flared from the speakers, tiny little rabbits jumped up on the bar in front of him and started to do the can-can. dumbluck couldn't take any more of it, and ran screaming from the bar. The T-Rex outside looked up in confusion as the little man continued to run out of the parking lot and out onto the highway. "He didn't even take his Cruiser," it thought aloud. Then it layed back down to continue it's nap.

After finishing his non caleric breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and juice in the cantina,, he walks out to his Drinks class CA, complements of good ole GT http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif , and has Barry help him carry some crates over to the side windows of the cantina. He tips Barry with a Bill Gates clone that he found laying around on the floor near the front door, then proceeds to plant some new, improved Rose Bushes outside all the windows of the cantina, these are new improved Versions with longer ripping, tearing thorns. As he is planting the new Gryphin Traps, he hears a horrendous, blood curling screeching coming from within the cantina, putting his hands over his ears he looks thru a window trying to locate this most high pitched wailing, which sounds like someone who is being taught the proper ways to torture someone on the Rack. As he looks into the cantina, he notices everyone with their hands over their ears or with Ear protectors on, he scanns the rooms and finaly finds the source of this most atrocious racket, its Tesco singing behind the bar.... Taz, if your going to let the Tesco help behind the bar, please do something about his singing, at least see if Barry can give him some pointers or voice lessons... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually I can explain that. After retaking my job at Tigg-Scoff PLC, I took the liberty of having an experimental new leisure device installed at the Cantina for some field testing.

It's a "kick-o-matic stress relief Gates clone." I had to reconfigure the GHB sensors to ignore it (after several satisfying but messy mistakes) but now it works just fine. He's tethered up by the door, so just give him a kick for free on your way in, that's what he's there for.

Anyone who has just experienced a catastrophic windows meltdown and/or re-install can pay 10 minerals for a five-minute beating-the-living-sh1t-out-of-him session.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*Dogscoff installs a auto-cloner to automatically replace any stress-relief Gates clones which get eaten or otherwise removed from service. He also installs a cute trained monkey to tether each new clone as it spawns and to hold out a paper cup for beating-payments.

He also introduces a small random factor into the auto-cloner's DNA sequencer module, so that every now and again a clone will be spawned which *doesn't* match the anti-clone GHB's non-kill file, and so gets entertainingly densified=-)

BTW, any abuse of the monkey will be severely punished. Trained monkies are damnedly expensive to replace, you know. Taz, I expect you to discipline Barry and make sure he doesn't eat the monkey. Oh, and the monkey is paid in banana daiquiris, but don't let him drink more than 3 a day or he gets all drunk and depressed...

I've decided to trial another Tigg-scoff innovation at the cantina. It's a mini-resource converter vending machine. It's for people who don't have enough minerals to cover their tab, or who want to get local currency having just flown in from off-planet.

Simply insert a small amount of organics or radioactives into the machine and it will spit out an equivalent amount of minerals (minus a reasonable conVersion fee, of course.)

*Dogscoff trials the machine by dismembering a Gates clone and feeding the gory body parts in. The "Organics" light blinks on, and 3.4 units of minerals pop out. It works! The auto-cloner begins the re-spawning process and Dogscoff tries some other materials:
A pint of guiness produces 0.8 minerals, and a steaming pile of T-Rex poo returns a hefty 4.7 minerals. Strangely, a plate of the ultra spicy deep-fried tribble wings light up both the organic *and* radioactives indicators, and returns a staggering 5.3 minerals.

Dogscoff instructs Taz to put the price of the tribble wings up, to avoid an obvious exploit...

The extra pics for the TDM-Vikings have been removed in order to make the Modpack not any bigger than necessary.

*Dogscoff tuts and sighs at his third uninterrupted post in a row. Where is everyone?

He drops a couple of hundred minerals into the paper cup which the monkey is holding. He arbitrarily headbutts the current Gates clone ("That's for that sodding paperclip assistant") and tells the monkey that the rest of the abuse time is for Atrocities. He orders a few beers for himself and Atrocities and settles into a table near the bar, hopefully out of range of the inevitable blood stains.

Heimlich Demands Maneuver Royalties
CINCINNATI—Lawyers for Dr. Henry Heimlich, inventor of the Heimlich maneuver, warned Monday that the doctor will sue anyone who performs his patented procedure without paying royalties. "The Heimlich maneuver is a registered trademark of my client," attorney Steve Greene said. "We are prepared to protect Mr. Heimlich's proprietary rights, even if it means filing a legal injunction against any non-royalty-paying choking victims."

Or, like what most people are doing nowadays, take the heimlich maneuver, readjust the hand positions *Slightly* and call it whatever maneuver. Since the hand position is different, and the resulting outcome is unknown, and *probably* differ from that of the original they can't sue you.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Two friends were eating lunch in a restaurant when a young lady at an adjacent table began to choke on some food. One of the men jumped up, grabbed her, turned her upside down, pulled her pants down, and started to lick her butt. She coughed, sputtered, and thrashed around trying to get loose when the food that was choking her popped out. The man put her down and went back to his table. His friend said "I've never seen anything like that. What were you doing?" His friend replied "That heinie lick maneuver works every time."

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's a good joke man. I've heard it before though. But isn't it supposed to be "'Hind' lick"? "Heinie lick" just doesn't sound right. Oh well, it still gets the punch line across.

"Heimlich Demands Maneuver Royalties"

Looks like an "urban legend" in the making.

Oh I had no doubt that "Heinie" was an actual word or whatever. I was just saying "Hind" sounds better with that joke since it's called the "Heimlich". Thus "Hind Lick" sounds like you're actually saying "Heimlich".

...Taz is trying to ignore the current conversation on a certain life-saving technique...

So Tesco, Did I head you order an Onion? What kind? Raw/sliced/diced/fried sliced/baked whole?
or my favorite way - as part of a lobster bake? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Is it my imagination or has this place gotten even weirder?
...No NOT POSSIABLE! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

RD, any relation between myself and those other taz's is purely a case of convergent evolution! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
