Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Seen a moose? Dad shot one of the damn things when I was a kid and we had to eat moose meat for almost a year. It is not that exciting a flavor and after the 100th meal in a row, you start getting really tired of it. Mom told him he could never shoot another one, so we got white tailed deer and grouse after that.

He also shot an elk once and when he was butchering it, he found a strange piece of scar tissue. He cut it open and discovered that years before he had shot it, someone else had shot it with a .22, a light caliber rifle than was too small to kill it. The bullet was still in the muscle, with a lot of scar tissue holding it in place.

Damn good thing this thread is off topic, I think even Tigga would have a hard time relating this post to SEIV.

Oh that's real nice...

If you want game or trophy, can't go wrong with Deer. Tastes... sorta like turkey-beef cross.

When you live in a place where there is really nothing to do but embrace the great outdoors, it's bound to come in to you sometime http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Tigga,
Please accept my condolences on your loss. Good on ya that you have your sense of humour intact to post to the list.

La Belle Du Boston, many thanks indeed - I find a turgid sense of humour, along with the famous British stiff upper lip, is sometimes the only thing that gets us through adversity.

What really has hit the biscuit is that work have called me in this morning (it is 08.53 here in Manchester when THEY KNEW I only got back from Atlanta at 04.25 this morning) - I am so annoyed I have just typed up my resignation letter - all this angst for a lousy $50k a year and no bonus http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

GrowlTigg,
Um, er, yes, what Mephisto said.
Or did you do that to get more time to practice SEVI G? More of your guile showing through?
You better not quit this game befor I shred your ships with Plasma torpedos.
Other than that, I have seen your tallents and would hire you anyday. I don't charge much for my referances either.
Edit: PS, the Last person I remember using "Au revoir " was Richard Nixon.

RE: Length of Thread,
Maybe, but in therms of quality contribution to the players of SEIV, I'd say there are many other threads that would win.
Now, I you were to rate it on cross culteral studies then we may have a definate winner.
It certainly has been educational for me.
Edit: (ment in good humor)
Slightly reworded

Well, my line manager has said my resignation shouldbe accepted as I am obviously not committed to the company and the firm.

My ultimate boss and head of team has told my line manager to go.... ahem.... herself and has pointed out in my favour that calling a member of staff in after a late flight and from compassionate leave is pretty bad.

So where I am now is that I am having dinner with my ulimate boss tonight to discuss things (salary will be right a the top of my list I can assure you as will my line mananger)

Failing which, I have spoken to a friend at another firm who would be game on indeed.. so the answer is

No, I have not been fired, I resigned and if I do leave, I have somewhere to go

If "Au Revoir" or "Hasta La Vista" are not to your liking, how about "Auf Wiedersehn" or "Eey Awwww" in Mephisto's honour

Dear Tiggles (reverting to previous non-acceptable nominclature)
I am suggesting... or stating if you would prefer that most men taken in the general sense of HUMAN KIND (of which I am assuming you are a member of, tigga or not ) which are in positions of power (supposed or real) are mostly blowing hot air to keep their egos, positions, or self-acceptance up to the over-inflated norm that is basic SOP.

Remind me, my dear solicitor, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , to never offer any back up to you, as its true... tiggas eat their own.

Dear Aphrodite's peaches, dear jewel of the desert, dearest helen of troy, as a sophisticated, intelligent, civilised and expert practioner of the "artes gourmand and infatuando" (as well as being true blue English), please be assurred that like any discerning feline, I see through the artless sophistry and pompousity so prevailent in those in administrative functions, whether male or female, and take great delight in proving by the use of cunning linguistic art that they are blowing hot air at great speed from their behinds.
As stated by Sophocles, Plato, Thucydides and Socrates, it is surely proven that in any organisation, there are those in administrative jobs who could not find their arses with an atlas

Phoenix, please accept my most humble and profound apologies for what I hope you have taken as good natured rib-tickling - you have never ceased to make me laugh out loud and proud

May be you can get some chat up lines from these voices and if some of them are girls, heck, you could date those without leaving the house!!

Saxon & Terran C, in regards to the Moose cuisine, I would suggest some of Tesco's and Puke's wonder Sauces, (see earlier Posts in regards to our gourmet discussions) I'm sure that with either one of these additions, you would receive tastes that in truth, would incorporate new taste buds upon your pallets in regards to the preparing of outdoor food. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

GT, Doens't your current/ex company have a bereavement leave policy? I agree that this was most cold and unsympathtic on their part. If this is how they treat their employees, I don't blame you for looking elsewhere, you might even consider moving to Cleveland and setting up practice, always room for one more around here..

PS. got my gold yesterday, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif looks good, I have some questions but hope to start practicing for the blood letting sometime this week.

just some ideas mac

Hmmm, I would rather have my cojones surgically removed and my ring-ed tail clipped before I move to Cleveland

Got Gold yesterday, was off work with flu yesterday - Hmm can anyone else smell something fishy here other than Mac's aftershave??
