GrowlTigga you are so eloquent. It means �full of hot air� in our communications medium. It just does not translate well into this one.

Baseball or cricket, as you know size does not matter. Why do you keep it in your pocket? That seems to be a strange custom. It is never necessary to apologize to me. I believe some of the chat ups are from Scandinavia? Is that not part of Europe? I am always lucky. I keep in mind that luck can be good or bad.

Primy babes, Happy Hunting but please don�t hurt them.

I'm not sure but I think they might be twins! The thought of two of you is enough to spark fear throughout the realms. It would also explain how you often appear to be in two places at once!

Note: I would usually post this sort of thing in my avatar thread, but felt that the fellow patrons of the Cantina should be made aware of my discovery and it's implications!

Cheers!


..and just now I scanned back in my avatar thread and found these as yet unclaimed pics..

Everyone in the Cantina are happily enjoying their respective meals and/or drinks when suddenly the Cantina begins to shake. As everyone gets up to look out into the parking lot they see a massive dreadnaught landing in the parking lotn. There is something different about this dreadnaught, something that no one can figure out. But then finally someone points out that this dreadnaught is much shinier, with a few extra weapons mounts and obviously a couple more engines for that extra get-away speed. All the patrons of the Cantina are still looking at the dreadnaught with inspired awe, never before have they seen such a awe imspiring ship in the lot.

After everyone stops drooling over the new ship they begin to wonder whos it is. So they wait a few more moments and the lift from underneath the ship begins to lower itself. After the smoke clears they see a tall figure walking towards the Cantina. As the figure comes closer they realize that it is Rags. Everyone sighs and mumbles to themselves something that cannot be repeated. They were hoping for someone more famous.

Rags opens the Cantina doors and steps inside. Before they door closer though he turns around and extends his arm towards the ship. He then presses a button and a beeping noise goes off indicating a alarm system for the ship. Rags then turns back to the Cantina and looks around the room, he notices alot more activity here ever since TeK came around.

Rags walks up to the bar and orders some food, he tells them he will be at his normal booth and says to bring the food whenever it is ready. Rags walks over to his booth and sits down. He slides into the corner of the booth and pulls out a instruction manual for the new ship. "How do I get those stupid headlights to work on this thing?" Rags mumbles to himself. He soon found his answer and put away the book. His food finally came around to his table and he proceeded to eat it. Once he was finished he scanned the room once more and noticed TeK looking at him. Rags put away his belongings and stepped over to TeKs table and said, "About the other night, it wasn't anything you said, I just had some...business...to take care of. If you look outside you can see what that business was. My old ship was getting beat up from all the action it has seen over the years. So I thought it was time for a new ship. And I found dandy. I name this dreadnaught the 'Naughtica, I think it was a fitting name, no?"
Rags feeling a little jetlagged from the long journey he just had to inbark on to get his new toy. He stands up once more and slides back into his booth and falls asleep.

F Te antKe, I have just spent a bit of time in the 'Archives of Lore' (the deeper most recesses of my inner neurons!) and found some interesting simularities between you and a local legend.

..the legend of Fa Tai Antkee "The Lady of Light" a non-corporeal being that is said to have visited our humble planet in times past. The records often refer to her as "Lady Aurora" it is also said that she liked to walk among the people and give them guidance. When she was among the people she used the name "Dawn" and explained that this was the closest translation to her real name.

I always find it strange when I find obscure references and they seem to 'fit' a current situation! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Even if the references only exist in my mind! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Cheers!

GrowlTigga you are so eloquent. It means “full of hot air” in our communications medium.

Oh, you mean "flatulent", I am not sure I like being referred to as full of hot air, I agree that I am prone to sophist guile, intellectual debate, conformist diatribe and occassional bouts of tyranny and extreme violence, but I am a lawyer and these just reflect my inner nature

Baseball or cricket, as you know size does not matter. Why do you keep it in your pocket?

I keep a cricket bat in my pocket just in case I need to assault Rags for any reason. GT takes out cricket bat and proceeds to ding Rags extremely hard round the head with it.

Scandinavia? Is that not part of Europe?

Technically yes, but only in the same way that England is part of Europe and many English would be offended to be called European. Me, I am a global denizen and proud of it to boot

I am always lucky. I keep in mind that luck can be good or bad.

Fair comment, I am kind of the same, when I am good I am damn good, when I am bad, I am even better

*A battleship slowly enters the planets orbit. As it leaves the vacumn of space a rumbling riff begins to shake the entire vicinity. After a few seconds the large speakers on the battleship bursts into Kittie "What i Always wanted!" and proceed to give the surrounding area a bLast of good old metal music. The battleship now streams towards the cantina. Its black paintwork shines along with the pruple flame motif along the back half of the ship. The inertia dampners kick in and the ship pulls into the spare parking place. Alongside sits a brand new dreadnought, shining in the sunlight. Raging Deadstar clambers down from his ship and wanders over to barry the t-rex and parking valet, tips him and watches as barry proceeds to cock his leg on the side of the brand new dreadnought, with enough toxic potency to strip the brand new paintjob. RD walks into the cantina accompanied by his Talena Atfield clone bodyguard and some of his molerat army. Dressed in a black mesh top and bondage jeans he walks towards the bar and orders a nice orange juice and walks over to Ragnarok*

"Hey 'Ragamuffin' hows you? And you F Te antKe, i'm quite impressed, you got away with insulting the flatulant feline, of course we all know now that ragamuffin here is going to be chased on your behalf"

*The Horns sound in the distance and the byzantine hoards in the kitchen begin to assemble...*

If i were you rags i'd run from Growltigga before you feel the wrath of the red hot poker cannon

Rags hears a god awful screeching noise coming from outside. He right away thinks, "Oh no! Not the paint job!" He gets up and rushes outside to find Barry just totally destroying his new ship and the paint job that came with it.
Rags walks up to Barry and scolds him for what he has done. He then asks who had him do it. Barry tells him that RD tipped him a good amount in order to bash the ship.
"I see," said Rags once he found out who did it. Rags then peeked in the Cantina window only to see RD inside sipping on his orange juice and seemingly having a grand ole time.
Rags thinks to himself, 'you'll pay for this RD, you'll pay...' Rags evily smiles to himself as he thinks of a plan.
Rags tips Barry even more then RD tipped him and Barry busts open the hood of RDs battleship. Rags peers inside to find exactly what he wants to see.
Rags fiddles with a few wires here and a few wires there. He puts some explosives and other items under the hood and hooks them up to the starter. When he is finished he shuts the hood. Rags puts some molerat poisen in the food canister that read 'food for molerats'.
He then walks back inside and sits back down at his booth. A evil grin crosses his face as he looks at RD. RD cannot help but wonder if good ole Rags is up to something.
Rags finishes his drink as he dozes back to sleep in his booth.
RD finishes up his drink and he walks back outside with his army of molerats and his Telena clone. He Boards his ship and starts it. RD is suprised that nothing has happened by now but he must think that Rags is not out for revenge after all. He begins to pull out but as he reaches 100 feet in altitute the ship lags real bad and all of a sudden the bottom of the ship is puller off the hull. Rags is inside the Cantina laughing his butt off when he sees this happen. Rags then begins the countdown.
"5...4...3...2...1..." just then a huge explosion is heard throughout the Cantina and surrounding areas. Rags looks outside once more to find RDs engine blown out of the ships hull. RD hasn't looked down yet so the ship is still staying in the air. (Cartoon rules) RDs makes the mistake of looking down and the rest of the ship falls to the surface. Rags walks out of the Cantina to meet a burnt RD who is still sitting in what is left of the Captains chair. Rags greets him and says, "What happened here RD? It looks like someone messed with your Battle cruiser. I guess you'll have to take that to get repaired eh?"

Rags continues to laugh as he Boards his ship and flies off.

..I'm always amazed at the serinity of the view when I make the trip from my universe to the Cantina.. During my Last trip here, I turned on the external cams on my ship and made a short clip.. (I then converted this clip into an avatar!) as a result I can show you the thought prevoking yet serine view of my voyage in.
