All Members, there is an investigation being conducted in the OT-Tigga/Scoff party thread, ck it out and give your opinions....

Mac strolls into the cantina after recuperating from the birthday bash, having expediently exasperated all internal manichanations of the cuisine courses involved. His ministrations with the tidy bowl diety have been discontinued as all foreign substances have been somewhat removed by various means of expiration.

Taz, seeing the old geezer back refreshed from his bash outing, takes down all the air freshners, turns off the fans, and rejoices as the cantina is back to normal once again after the outragious partying at the bash in the cantina party room. (however he still watches some of the other patrons in case of relapses from the party cuisne)

Growltigga,
Um, "Current Mrs. GT". Does that mean she is electrical? You get a charge out of her?

no, no. "spend time with the current Mrs. GT" should be an address to Mrs. GT: "Spend time with the current, Mrs. GT?" which suggests that she enjoys the appliances more than she enjoys the Mr. GT.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
Raging Deadstar walks into the cantina, everything seems normal and quiet...

Suddenly a huge 8 armed reobot (kinda like the repair bay image) shoots up to him and pulls out lots of sharp bladed and probing tools. RD gulps as a red light focuses on his forehead, the machine begisn to buzz.

Target: Raging Deadstar]
Lifeform: Human
Alibi: Yes
Classification: Waste of Air

It flies off, leaving a very confused RD, until he notices Mac, all dressed up in his sherlock holmes gear and universal magnifying glass.

"Ummm mac, do i actually have an alibi cos i wasn't on the list?" then again if the other people don't have an alibi its safe to say what all those blades and weapons on the robot are used for! maybe i shouldn't have said anything...

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
RD - sorry about those big 8 armed robots. Here, have a draft on the house!

Someone must have gotten into Dogscoff's stash of questionable druglike substances as things got out of hand at the end of the party. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
(speaking of THE DOG - where is he?) Just like management to leave the employees to pick up the pieces. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

If service is a little slow, consider those poor FBW's. Between one thing and another, they are all tuckered out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Even Barry is a bit hungover. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The current Mrs GT does like electricity, and I am sure she will be happy to demonstrate this to Puke by wiring electrodes to his ears and sticking 50,000 volts through them, but only after she has finished savaging the local sheep population

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Taz, what are you trying to suggest?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I personify lots of my possessions, my guitar is called "Phoebe", my work car is called "Katya" (it is German) and my landrover is called 'Saba' (people who watch Big Cat Diary will understand). My wife's car is also called Nicole (it is French), the computer is called "Nicole" cos I like the name and I talk to it, the lawn mower is "Chantalle" (one of my parent's pet cows)
and my hammer drill is called "Karen" (after one of my old girlfriends who was a psycho hose-beast)

and as for my brother... everybody makes silly mistakes when under the influence, I have an irrational fear of spoons when I am very drunk and as for the trollies and spider incident..

anyhow, check out my brother's dimensions, would YOU tell him he was a prat?

RD Has by now passed out, GT combined the two things he was thinking about posting today, Taz (the cartoon) and farmers! Amazing taz got involved as a bar tender, after all his dad is a soft drink drinker ain't he?

Whats scary is i know people who speak a cross between taz and farmers, its terrifying, even more so when they take aim with there shotguns. (It has happened)

Hmmm GT's brother or whatever relation let loose in his car engine? maybe growltigga could persuade barry to "donate" some to the Tigg-scoff battle moons, 100% organic fuel, although i wouldn't want to be at the pump while using it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Note: Growltigga's recent quote as Tony the tiger at the birthday bash is scary, am i the only guy who pictures him as tony the tiger? Maybe been drinking again! Lol and Timstone, your obsession with that there gearbox is becoming very intimate, i say you get out while you have the chance!

Sure Timstone, some of the brown bars are quite interesting. I seem to recall one brown bar just off the Kalverstraat called 'The Hobbit' or something and that was quite interesting...

I do prefer the more modern style bars, more my sort of atmospshere and current fashions often dictate that the bar girls wear a lot less

Growltigga walks into the cantina, clutching an IOU from Mac which says 'treat yourself, at my expense, to any drink off the top shelf'

Growltigga walks up to Taz and says, "Taz, my good devil, fetch me down that bottle of 1954 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, take the chains off it, dust it off and check Brown Brothers for the up-to-date price, £37,000 you say, aahhh, that is perfect, poor me a glass of that stuff and leave the bottle, put the cost on Mac's tab' and oh yes, tell all regulars it is time to settle their tabs for this month end"

Mac lands his newly purchased "used" Frigate in the cantina parking lot, (it only has 300,000,000,000 miles on it) nods to Barry, throws him the keys and goes over to his favorite table in the cornor. He places his order with one of the L.H. look a like FBW, reclines back and looks over to see what mayhem if any is going on within the precepts of the cantina. He sees the "Taz" over by the bar with several FBW with what appears to be pry bars inserted into his jaw and working most profusly to apparently open his mouth?? Now what the heck did the Taz do now he wonders? He see RD and waves to him, RD shouts over, what happened to your Up to date modern Battle cruiser? Mac looks down and answers, " I made the mistake of not putting a limit on an IOU to the Tigga" I had to sell it, and take a loan out, just to pay my bar tab.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif With what was left over I was able to get a good deal from Jonny's Junky Used Ships Bazzar over on Artimis 3, sigh, sure miss my BC tho, so beware when dealing with that wiley "old" Shrek look a like Tony Tiger wanta be. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Whats with the Taz he asks, RD replies, it was something the Gryphin gave him to eat he answers with a wide smile and tears in his eyes. AAaahhhh Mac shouts back, He should have known better, The Gryphin is just as sneaky as the KAT, oh well live and learn, he should have just eaten some apples, I'll have to tell him about "The Gryphin" and my pizzas awhile back, mac checks over his food verrrry carefullly before beginning to indulge in his breakfast....

...as we look in on poor Taz's plight, we see that drastic measures are called for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

By motioning with his hands Taz get Barry to climb on the roof of the Cantina. Taz then places extra large prybars and levers in his mouth and, motioning the concerned FBW's to a safe distance, has Barry JUMP down onto the other end of the lever arrangment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

With a loud popping sound heard at least half way around the world, Taz's upper jaw is released from the lower one and Taz's pent up angry yells are released into the open air. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Luckly aimed away from the more densely inhabited parts of the planet, this torrent of profanity and anquish only causes a few minor disaster areas:
The Enchanted Forest is now the Blighted Woods.
The Inner Sea is now the Blistering Desert.
And the Milehigh Mountains has a new sealevel pass.

Taz then calmly walks over to the bar and, with a grand gesture of his hand, peels off the label with his name that he had placed on Dogscoff's tab. An experianced bartender NEVER gives out free drinks on his OWN tab. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Dogscoff looks at the enormous tab which suddenly bears his name at the top. He looks exaggeratedly dismayed, much to the delight of Taz and other onlookers. He orders another round of drinks on the tab and then, with a wry smile, he scratches at the name with a fingernail. The word "Dogscoff" is actually written on top of a blob of correction fluid, which scratches off to reveal the word...

Ragnarok.

Dogscoff heads leisurely back to the table, and silently offers thanks to the laws of cartoon physics which preside over the Cantina.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A quick Schlockmercenary- style note on the laws of cartoon physics:

The laws of cartoon physics are much like normal physics, but with certain amendments to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. It all comes down to quantum physics:

In normal quantum physics, the Uncertainty Principle proves that the state of certain sub-atomic objects is fundamentally unknowable. This is essentially due to the fact that these objects can be either waves or particles depending on how the observer chooses to measure them- the observer can measure its momentum or its position, but by measuring one he makes the other unmeasurable. Thus, the more is known about one, the less is known about the other. In fact, ironically, the only thing that can be known exactly is how much can't be known. These laws only apply on a quantum scale, but on that scale anything is actually possible - a particle could immediately move to the other side of the universe, although this isn't very likely, so probably doesn't happen very often. However, since the macroscopic world we live in is made up of countless tiny quantum particles, the implications for philosophy and even theology are immense - there is an implication that the whole stability of physical reality depends on whether or not anyone is looking. It certainly is not in keeping with the old determinist notion that the that the universe ticks on whether we're here to look at it or not, and that the future state of an object can be accurately extrapolated from absolute knowledge of its current state and application of known physical laws. Under quantum physics, the best that can be done is to work out how likely a possible future state is. It was this leap into the realms of statistics which prompted Einstein's famous statement that "God does not play dice with the universe".

In cartoon physics, all of the above applies, but with the added proviso that the uncertainty of a particle's state is governed not only by how that particle is being observed, but by which state the observer would find funniest. In other words, by observing an event, the observer makes the outcome with the highest comic potential the most probable one. The practical and philosophical implications of this theory are even more unsettling. For example, when Cartoon Einstein made the statement "God does not play dice with the the universe", a giant pair of pink, fluffy dice fell immediately and inexplicably from the heavens and squashed him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

There are some excellent short films published on the subject by Prof. Chuck Jones, and for those who are really interested, there are courses in cartoon physics at Warner Loonyversity.
