Re: You knew me as \"Gryphin\", The Gryphin is Dead!
 

Well, I'm currently making my living quarters in the precariously-named 'Murphy's Law 4', a cloaked planatiod orbiting the sun on the opposite side from the Earth - Had a bit of a problem when someone blew up #1 or 2 to close to the Earth...

Oh, you mean the *REAL* me? Things are ok.

Re: You knew me as \"Gryphin\", The Gryphin is Dead!
 

Well, well, great to see you, Grey One! And glad to see someone spell grey the right way http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. I took a lot of flak for using an "e" when I played on the Zone in Mechwarrier 3 and 4 as GreyStorm.

But, anyway(s), nice you still remember us mere mortals http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Great to see you again, its been too long. And hey, you may not have the energy to be funny (since you're right, it takes a lot of energy!), but not all of us are funny, myself in particular. Really is good to see you back! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Heh. And talent. When it comes to 'standard jokes' in real life - The best description I have for my joke-telling ability is a joke.

'Bob had just gotten into prison. Since his was a minor crime, he and the other prisoners were allowed the freedom of the building and grounds.

So, Bob wanders around and comes accross four guys sitting around a table and hears one of them saying '86!'. Everyone bursts out laughing.

'14!' - More laughter. '52!' - Yet more laughter.

Understandably curious by this time, Bob asked 'What's so funny about numbers?'

One guy turned to him and said 'Oh, we've been here so long we've memorized all our jokes and numbered them. So now, whenever we want to tell a joke, we just say the number.'

So Bob asks 'Mind if I try?'

'Sure, go ahead.'

'17!' - Dead silence.

Bob - 'Wasn't it funny?'

Other guy - 'I guess some people can tell them, and some people can't.''

That's me. (No, I'm not in prison. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif) I can't do those kinds of jokes. I do them well enough on the internet, if I have a good one, but in real life I either crack up to soon, or don't tell it well, or something. IRL, I'm better at dry, spontanious, ironic comments.

So, point? I guess the point is, you just have to find the kind of humor you're good at and use that.

Ouch. Sorry for you, man.

Re: You knew me as \"Gryphin\", The Gryphin is Dead!
 

Hi Grey_One. You don't know me I am new as my registration date states. I mostly ask stupid questions. I am only responding to welcome you back. To empathize over over the breakup. I dated a girl in college for 3 years before we broke up (Many years ago). Currently I have been happily married for over 17 years. Relationships are hard and they don't always work.

The main reason I am responding is that I was in to modelrailroading too. I did HO scale up until 6 months ago. I moved from Ohio to Colorado and the train layout wasn't designed to be moved. You know the saying when a man makes a plan God laughs. My plan was not to move.

I still have all the engines (60) and cars (150). Oh and the buildings, autos, people, animals and miscellanous stuff stored. Just no place for a layout, even though my 3 kids each have their own room.:(

So hi and glad you are back. I enjoy SEIV and enjoy the forum.

Best wishes and God bless (If you don't mind).

Edited to find really bad mistakes. There are more I am sure.

Riesig_Bar - Thanks:
1) "There aint no stupid questions, (cept the one you don't ask that gets you killed)".
2) I don't mind at all
3) "God / Goddess / Fates plays dice with the univers and it is a lousy gambler". And Murphy is thier minion.
I run, er will be running N scale. The tables are 3x7 to accept the fact that I will be moving, (though I swear never again). Here is the plan:

Grey_one I am on Trainboard as Edmund.

Also the Atlas forum and a couple others as Edmund. I don't post much. I tend to read. Especially as the layout is gone.

My layout was a 4x8 in my upstairs bedroom. There was no way to get it back out once it was built. It was my first and I was just learning. I had it about 9 years. Next time I plan on 2'x 4' modules that can be disassembeld. Oh and I plan on going to DCC with a backup old dc for the old engines I can't or don't want to convert.

I started a web page for the layout a couple years back then my scanner died and I never got around to finishing it. The free hosted site has tons of pop-ups so I won't link to it. I had a custom logo and my own paint scheme. Burgundy top and grey middle and bottom. I could post an image maybe if I could remember how. But it is way off topic.


SEIV really rocks though. I haven't tried PBW because with a wife <font color="red">I plan on keeping</font> and 3 kids I don't have the time.
