That Nigerian scam has been around for the past 5 years. Its been on the tv and in the newspapers warning everyone not to get fooled by it. The FBI and other agencies have been looking into it for years. I even remember one of the local radio persona's called them on the air and got the round around from the other side.
It is unbelievable how naive some people are when it comes to money.... If they want to give away their money then I recommend "The Mac Retirement Fund or Deserving Mac Foundation. Now those 2 orgs suuuurrreee could use any money people are willing to throw away.....

Gryphin, 'weird' obviously has a less derisory and uncomplementary meaning in north america than it does on the more civilised side of the "pond" -In Europe, being "weird" is not a good thing, unless you are Belgian or German...

Mac, the USA football team are not going forward into the harsh unknown, they are going forward to face the Germans who, I might add, will beat them...

then keep in mind that England beat Germany 5-1 not so long ago so it tells you where the USA team really stands in the world..

does anyone speak Japanese by the way? someone called me something that sounds like "uri-na-docha" earlier on this afternoon and I am sure it is not complementary

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
"Weird" has the usual meaning over here, but needless to say, a weird person would take pride in being weird. My observation is that the weird people are the ones who refuse to accept the status quo. Weird people are the ones that make progress. Normal people merely implement it. It takes a weird person to think outside the envelope. I will beat you in the Galactic Bash because you are normal. You will do what normal people do. You will be predictable. I will know what you will do, how you will do it, and when you will do it. As you know, predictability on the battlefield is fatal.

Growltigga June 19th, 2002 03:18 PM

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
ahhh.. but that is an arrogant assumption that I am normal and that normal people behave in predictable ways... we dont and a mark of adaptability and intelligence is the ability to think outside the usual parameters.

Unpredictability is not a mark of weirdness. Wearing your underpants on your head, with 2 pencils stuck up each nostril and going "wibble" is a mark of weirdness

I am sure the pencils would look very fetching with your moustache

Tigga,

The only Japanese I know may be useful for you. Try, “Hie, Hie, no-me-tie”. It translates as “Hello, Hello, let’s get drunk.”

Now, Nigerians have a bad reputation overseas, but you will not believe how bad it is in Africa. It has been used by unscrupulous market traders in West Africa, getting a number of Nigerians killed. Nigerians are reputed to be voodoo masters and thieves. So, when a Nigerian moves into your market and offers legitimate commercial compatition to your business, you walk up and shake hands. You then loudly scream, “He stole my penis!”

The story is that if you shake hands with a Nigerian voodoo man, he can take several inches off your penis, by magic means. As such, all the non-Nigerian traders rush up to you and begin beating the Nigerian for his evil deed. Several have been killed, but in one incident, a wise policeman in Senegal managed to step in and calm things down. He then asked what the problem was and the Senegalese trader repeated the claim his penis had been stolen. The cop then said, “Well, I want proof, drop your troUsers.” The trader promptly did so, displaying his tackle to the crowd. The cop said, “It looks fine to me” to which the trader replied “It used to be bigger!”

Now, for those of you who think this is an urban legend, I can confirm the part about Nigerian deaths from beatings and alleged penis theft. I can not confirm the part about the Senegalese cop, but since they are going to take the World Cup, we can assume they are pretty virtuous.

Saxon, our good member, in regards to your association with these voodoo individuals, I would seriously look into the situations that you have experienced as of late with those of the fluffy bunny type. Could you have made one of these voodoo subjects upset with you in any way in which they may have taken exception to whatever diabolical scheme you were involved in at the time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Of course this is all conjecture, but may be worth looking into, also if they shrink do they also enlarge ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I could see some $$ possiblities here if that is the case. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Oh large Kat, weird, would mean odd, eerie, strange, unnatural, peculiar or spooky, I will give you that over here in the colonies there are definitly those of this questionable characterization, including bigfoot, ufos, politicians and other quality personas. However, without this added attraction, those who are normal would never stand out even if they wanted to and thus would be unrecognized in the scheme of the Universe. To further enhance upon this unique discussion I have submitted several survey questioneers and purported to publish them in some of the local newspapers for statistical analysis. The resulting information should be of great scientific knowledge into exactly what weird expressly is and how it may be involved in the factors of life.

In addition, I see that poor Tesco has a spelling disability, but seeing how he keeps late hours on Trillian, it is excusable, In order to help in the personification of the proper spelling of specifics I would like to put foreward the proper spelling.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

and the overriding principal of all of this is that there is no such thing as a free lunch... anything that seems too good to be true is most likely far too good to be true and a complete scam.

We see a lot of these and if any of you need dissuading, a client of ours WENT to Nigeria on the pretext of being handed about $10,000,000 worth of ADR's for $250,000 of his cash. Needless to say he lost the cash and had a 9 inch knife stuck through his thigh for good measure after being whisked off from the airport

Another client sent his bank details and letterhead on the promise of $20,000 and had his account looted of over £40,000 (about $65,000).. all on overdraft and of course his bank is requiring him to repay that cash

Think about it.... THESE THINGS MESS UP YOUR LIFE

For the sake of the residents of Ohio and neighbouring states, I consider that as a unified act of global mercy, all denizens of the Cantina should gather together to stop Mac carrying out any further research...

It is obvious that his methodology for conducting said research is mucky and potentially illegal...

Lo, do we wish this form of foul and anti-social behaviour to continue in the Cantina??

On a serious note, as was the Gryphin & Growltigga thread, I think the Cantina has now served its use and we should move on to another bar, if only to give Richard and Geoschmo the opportunity to save space by deleting the current 1230 oddPosts on this thread

It has been suggested we go somewhere else for a drink. I happen to know of a few decent (and not so decent) establishments in the area, so here are some suggestions.

Warpz. A trendy bar in the centre of town with loud music and expensive drinks. Lively, with a good selection of cocktails. Their infamous "Vodka Warp Point Wobbler" is to die for. Literally.
The Colony. An ecclectic Soho lounge bar serving a wide variety of high quality drinks and vaxin finger foods. Live jazz four days a week and occasional poetry readings.
The EEE and whistle. Situated on the outskirts of town, The Whistle Serves good family food and home-cooked ambient wavelengths from 11 'til late. Some excellent Belgian lagers available in the summer.
Madame Oogl's Tentacle House. Popular and (ahem) highly accomodating establishment in the red light district of the Cue Cappa quarter. Not much in the way of beer, but the whiskies are satisfactory and the service is extremely stimulating.
The Bifrost Lodge. Traditional Space Valkyrie longhouse hotel, with friendly service and a family atmosphere. Proprietress Mad Helga the Decapitator will make you feel right at home. Some fantastic home-brewed meads, and an outdoor cat-roast on Thursdays if the weather's good.

These are some of my favourite places, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows somewhere better. Or we could just go round Gryph's place.

Nice, sounds like the sort of bar I would hang out in as these bars are normally wall to wall with blart

The Colony. An ecclectic Soho lounge bar serving a wide variety of high quality drinks and vaxin finger foods. Live jazz four days a week and occasional poetry readings.

Hmmmm... sounds a bit pretentious to me and I do not think that the composite avewrage IQ of the regulars is up to this sort of eclectic establishment

The EEE and whistle. Situated on the outskirts of town, The Whistle Serves good family food and home-cooked ambient wavelengths from 11 'til late. Some excellent Belgian lagers available in the summer.

I am not sure about this.. home cooked family food normally means burnt baked beans on toast or undercooked Sunday roasts or that horrible damn thing called meatloaf Amercians like so much (what is a potroast anyway?) - possibly a good place for a cheeky half in the summer once the hoegaarden (grand cru of course) is available

Madame Oogl's Tentacle House. Popular and (ahem) highly accomodating establishment in the red light district of the Cue Cappa quarter. Not much in the way of beer, but the whiskies are satisfactory and the service is extremely stimulating.

Ooh, sounds naughty - I thought this was meant to be a family post!!

pounding down a road at about 40km hit a bump and the back tire started to go out from under me.
I tried to correct it by weight placement... next thing you know my butt is sliding off my seat and i am heading towards the handle bars. ( And it is at the bottom of a valley in the road) so the road starts to climb. I go airborne and the front tire hits the beginning of the hill. The bike starts to flip and i do a face plant into the road ( it changes into a nice rock gravel road here) and go about 10 meters up this road on my stomach and elbows and face... with most of the bike on my back and some of it under me.

I did manage to yell 'mother.....' as this was all happening...
When it was done i stood up walked to a store near by with my bike... and very politey asked if i could clean myself up...then fell to ground ( I was a little wobbely)...

Mephisto, I'll try and clarify what I meant,,,

the ball must be in front of you when attacking the goal and your in the box, or you must have either the ball or a defender between you and the goal, so if there is no ball or defender in front of yu then you are off sides, in addition the opposing side gets a penalty kick from location of the off side penalty,This all pertains when the attacker is in the box.

Therefore, If you are driving on opposing goal and are called off sides in the box, you loose the ball, defender gets penalty kick which in turn sends it back down field towards your goal. Sooo, the evaluation, don't get in front of the ball when in the box or you lose the ball....

If not for the rule, it would be an unfair advantage on the attacker vs goalie as he could have teammates swarm around in front of or box in etc the defending goalie, thus being unable to properly defend his/her goal.

Important announcement for all Cantina patrons

AWOOGA AWOOGA AWOOGA

The proprietors of the Cantina (ie me and the Boston Sex Fiend) have decided that it is no longer commercially prudent to operate the said establishment for, inter alios, the following reasons:

1 cashflow is next to non-existent due to the propensity of bartabs operated by the regular clientele, and the recent destruction of said tabs;

2 due to unwanted advances made by Kenyan based Canadian customers to the waitresses, said waitressess have now left our employment;

3 the recent defensive tactics resorted to by the proprietors in order to pacify the Cantina has led to irreparable structural damage;

4 there is a large leaking vat of dogpoo outside the back of the Cantina;

5 the conversation in the Cantina is off topic; and

6 one of the regular customers is about to be barred to suggesting that one of the proprietors (the good looking feline one) might wear a stetson..

The Cantina will close for good at post 1350. Any alternative naming suggestions will be appreciated as I will be opening a new 'watering hole' once the Cantina has departed to that great distillery in the sky

LAW 11 – Offside
Offside Position
It is not an offence in itself to be in an
offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
 he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than
both the ball and the second Last opponent
A player is not in an offside position if:
 he is in his own half of the field of play
or
 he is level with the second Last opponent
or
 he is level with the Last two opponents
Offence
A player in an offside position is only
penalised if, at the moment the ball touches
or is played by one of his team, he is, in the
opinion of the referee, involved in active play
by:
 interfering with play
or
 interfering with an opponent
or
 gaining an advantage by being in that
position
No Offence
There is no offside offence if a player receives
the ball directly from:
 a goal kick
or
 a throw-in
or
 a corner kick
Infringements/Sanctions
For any offside offence, the referee awards an
indirect free kick to the opposing team to be
taken from the place where the infringement
occurred. * (see page 3)

Oops, 2 – 1. Guess we are going to have a grumpy cat. Let’s not move the bar until he has finished trashing this one.

About the Kitty being grumpy. I don't think so. If he really followed through with his plan to stand among the Brazilian supporters, he is going going to have one great hell of a time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

I stood among the danish fans (with my german shirt, of course) during the final at Göteborg in 1992 and had a real good time after Danmark won.

aaahhh The US lost 1-0 to Germany, nice close game, hats off to our illustrious opponets, (shaking hands) At least they got farther then most other US soccer teams have. If they keep this type of play, they will be a team to watch in the future, (hopefully)..

As the losing side, Brewskis and pizza all around bartender on my tab, oh, and a bowl of catnip for the Tigga as well, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

UUUU SSSS AAAA
we'll be back..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I am so SAD http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Being sad in a foreign country is not nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
I am also very very drunk
I am also very very sad
I have flown 5,000 miles to be sad in a hotel full of funny people
I am so so sad
Even the thought of the USA losing is not enough to cheer me up

Infamy infamy they've all got it in for me
Et tu brute? fall Caesar
