Sorry David Gervais, I am not going delving into the undergorund whereabouts of any Canadian.

That is something a gentleman just does not do.

I shall leave you in your RL underground base with your fleas - may you all be very happy together....

***So the Great Gt surrenders, and I was so looking forward to the Hunt/Persuit!***

Ah well, I reluctantly accept your surrender, and FYI, Once the fleas get on Canadian soil, they are always much too distracted by our Canadian Beavers to cause any discomfort. I'm flea-free and happy as can be!

Cheers!

P.S. Dear fellow posters, as you each find my RL Underground please make a cross-post here to announce your find! Just don't reveal the location!

No, the great GT does not surrender, he just not understand what on earth you are talking about....

and as for the flea situation, it explains a lot about my problems following that time I got lucky with that girl from Missassagua....

Hmmmmm......

Rags notices that the chase has finally died down and that David has found a way to avoid the great GT. (Not many people have done that) Rags proceeds to climb out of Davids bag in which he was carrying the whole time. As Rags steps out he stretches and yawns from being in the bag for so long.
"Whew, it was tight in there. But thankfully I am a frog that is very nimble and able to fold up into a rather small position. Although it isn't exactly comfortable."
Rags then shuts off his clone/hologram that is running hog wild around the property with Barry chasing him. When the hologram/clone dissapears Barry stops and attempts to scratch his head in bewilderment. But alas, he can't reach his head due to having uber short arms. Barry then turns around and returns to his duty as parking lot attendant.
Back in Davids underground lair Rags looks around the room and exclaims: "Wait, I have seen this place before... It's in that one movie..."
Before Rags can reveal which movie that lair was in and where it was located David grabbed a metal pipe and slammed Rags upside the head to shut him up. Rags then falls to the floor with little birds flying around his head.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
Rags, you should know by now that holographic projectors and clone manufacturers DO NOT work in the environs of the cantina....

...and are you trying to suggest that David Gervais is Batman, Zorro or that ponce from the Shadow?

I on the other hand have removed my rating from view due to it having dropped below 5 stars. (It was that 12th vote that did me in) I wonder who I rubbed the wrong way?

*Raging Deadstar slowly parks his dreadnought over the cantina and spins on his captains chair, especially built with terrain wheels, spinning from one side of the bridge to the other he activates his tachyon sensors and locks on to the unconcious ragnaroks DNA signal. Locks on and fires his tachyon projection cannon

Minutes later Raging Deadstar is enjoying his vienesse whirls and sipping on a large brewski off ragnaroks tab a very crispy david gervais sneaks up to him and demands what just happened*

Ahh sorry David! I was aiming to wake up rags but as you were admiring the sight of the girl shooting the 8 ball you got in the way i guess!

Since i don't dare reveal the location of your secret bunker please fetch ragnarok to me, i have a 30 stone women dressed up as mrs piggy who has been ordered to show "Kermit" a good time!

*Ragnarok wanders through the doors at this point, shakes his head wearing off the effects of the iron bar and the tachyon projection cannon he suddenly begins to shake, drinks begin to spill and the ground wobbles terrifyingly. No it isn't GT's prowess upstairs! The 30 stone mrs piggy runs, jumps and lands flat on top of ragnarok, leaving a large crater and proceeds to kiss him in such a way that a large vacumn cleaner does!*

Sorry Ragnarok, you were still dressed as kermit!

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
FYI: there are no 'iron bars' in my RL Underground Bunker, everything here is made of Nerf! (including the 8-Balls, but not the women or drinks!)

..now that that's cleared, Wow RD, that was some ride, how many power settings does that contraption have? and at what level was it when you zapped me by accident? I could use one for the Reck-Room!!

I haven't found the bunker. I just got in it by hitching a ride. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

GT, my clone/hologram was a special modified one. It was RD dressed up as me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

RD, how could you do this to me? I thought we were pals?! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
Rags is still being smothered by the Miss Piggy Fiends*, He fights his way out of the bottom of the pile which was no easy task as each Miss Piggy Fiend weighs just as much as a Light Cruiser. He then gets out of the Kermit outfit and tosses it to the side. At which time the Miss Piggy Fiends think that Rags killed them and Rags is forced to start running once more. After awhile of running around the parking lot Rags gets some advice from his friends who happen to be real life pig farmers, and he finds out how to stop a horde of Pigs that are chasing him. So Rags uses a device that multiplies his arms to where he now has a arm for every Miss Piggy Fiend, he proceeds to grab each one of the Fiends by the tongue. (Yes that is one way to control a pig in real life, at least it works at my friends farm)
He drags the Fiends over to a room and points at RD, he then wispers something in their ears and they get really mad and they take flight after RD who was sipping on a brewski.

GT, what happened to chasing RD anyways? You started out chasing us but somehow he got out of the spot light and wasn't being chased. I do not think that was very fair. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It was a terribly tricky conundrum my dear ragnarok. I appealed to Growltigga's weaknesses. He obviously went off and bought himself a bottle of 74' Chateau Lafite Rothschild on my tab and i gave him a kylie minogue clone which he is currently "Test driving" right now! although i have a bucnh of midgets who are hellbent on seeking revenge on me for my flaming bagueette golfing techniques! and no that ain't another of gryphins strangely named sexual positions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Rags, I'm glad you liked the decor! I'm especially proud of the 'themed' rooms, The 'Tarzan Room', The 'Cleopatra Room', the 'Julius Cesar' Room, The 'Alexander the Great' Room, Oh, and did you get the joke about the 'Edith & Archie' room? LoL The Bunker was the right place to put that one!

Oh, And you're forgiven for putting on a display in the lobby, it was a good show mind you, but I have a special place for that 'Stuff' (nudge nudge wink wink, know what I mean?)
Puke started putting on a show of his own called "The Boarding Party" but I showed him the right 'Stuff' too! Hopefully there was no harm done to the lobby!

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
David Gervais and Rags forget that whilst the bulk of the pursuing horde is made up of diminutive killer mongooses dressed up like the armoured hordes of the Byzantine empire and scantily clad supermodel-esque waitresses in bunny suits, it does happen to be led by 15 tons of enraged Tyrannosaur who hasn't had as much fun since Gryphin got his lovepump caught in the mangle......

Barry turns toward the unclimable 40 foot steel wall and proceeds to charge, with a crash and a smash (spot the Tolkien-esque writing style) the wall is splintered into smithereens, the smoke clears and a stunned Rags (aka kermit) and the bearded Canadian whisky-wuss are left lying on the ground, surrounded by said 15 ton tyrannosaurus, byzantine dromedary-mounted horde, FBW's, hollywood B-list celebrities.....

The small berber villager called Abdul has got a gang of his mates together and in a scene reminiscient of the beaches of Valencia in El Cid, is marching up the road looking to give Raging Deadstar a good kicking for the baguette bashing affair.........

Note to RD - Growltigga is more than happy with the Kylie clone by way of compensation for bashing the berber (is that like spanking the monkey??) but unfortunately, Growltigga is not available to stop Abdul and his chums from seeking appropriate retribution.... and you dont want to know what they are going to do with those preserved lemons and those cracked olives.. and as for the harissa.. RD, if I were you, I would put some toilet paper in the fridge

Over to you Dave

With a whoop and a hollah, Growltigga, fresh from his aneurobic exercise with the Kylie clone, climbs aboard Barry, summons the Byzantine legions, FBW's, cast from Friends, cast from Home & Away, assorted berber villagers and almoravid horde and cries "Tally Ho, cry havoc and let slip the cats of war"

David Gervais trembles in his RL Bunker, as Growltigga and the horde, having discovered the location, bash down the floor, urinate in the lobby and proceed to chase the bearded Qubecois through the various rooms...

No where is safe from the wrath of Growltigga the Great....

I do indeed feel the earth moving, but I happen to be in bed with a curvacious pool player and thought it was due to my prowess! Or it could also be that she put another quarter in the vibrating machine attached to the bed! I'm blissfully uncaring at the moment! Of course I know you know what I mean and have no douptedly been there done that (in full proper English fashion) and purchashed the t-shirt. But as you should also know..

The proof is in the posting my dear fellow, the proof is in the posting! 'Links' generally send me off-world on wild goose chases... and chasing a Canadian Goose is something I haven't done in such a long time.

If you do know the whereabouts of my bunker, don't be shy, come in, I'll open a hundred year old bottle of Scotch in your honor.

A huge, brand new Kwantallen Worldship arrives in "The Cantina's" parking lot.
*Emitting a very loud hum* Settles into place, Just over "The Cantina". mlmbd http://www.shrapnelgames.com//ubb/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif *emerges from his spankn' new ship*
Looks around the parking lot, and thinks to himself that "The Cantina" seems rather busy. Being there are no less than 20 assorted ships parked there.
He walks across the parking lot and enters "The Cantina". *brushing off the dust and debris he aquired from his journey through the parking lot*

Gazzes up to see "The Cantina" deserted, leave the 'bartender'.
"What the F...."; he murmurs to himself. No FBW's, No Dancing Girls, No Llmas No GT and No patrons!

Hmmm...he ponders....
Must be 'Lord Growltigga' and crew are off having fun stomping someone or another.
*Wishes* To himself that he not missed all the fun! Ah well, they will all be back soon enough. I'm sure!
So, he asks the bartender for a glass of 'Radjaha' (a gold, very thick liquor. From 'Kwan'; his homeworld.).
Acquiring his beverage, he walks over and sits down at his favorite table. Guess I will just sit here and wait for everyone to return. He thinks to himself.

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!

tsk, tsk, tsk.. You found my bunker Gt, and you should be proud, but you also fell right into my trap.. and it's one of the oldest tricks in the books!

Didn't you notice the strange red glow as you and your hord burst into the Bunker? It's a nifty device 'The Overloards' installed for me. It neutralizes all weapons and reduces all oversized-beings (ie: Greater that 6'6" like T-Rex etc.) to 4'2" and weighing in at 96lbs. Don't worry, things will go back to normal when they leave the bunker. fyi: all my 'Guards' are 6'5-3/4" and weigh in at 260lbs. They use no weapons, as they are all trained experts in hand to hand combat.

I don't expect any trouble and in fact I'd like to draw your attention a few 'themed-rooms' that might interest you,.. The 'McHales Navey' room, the 'Hogan's Heroes' room, hmm.. having just come from a desert trip, you might enjoy the 'Rat Patrol' room or the 'Laurance of Arabia' room.

Feel free to roam through the bunker and oh yeah, here's that bottle of one hundred year old Scotch I promised!

Cheers! and enjoy your stay!

Growltigga, evacuating the bunker and taking all the scotch and fine wine (oh, and the pool playing girls with him), pauses at the entrance and chucks in the legendary Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, closely followed by the famous Bunker Busting Bomb of Bratislava, followed by a quick bLast of the Nascent Naptha Thrower of Nouchknott....

"Boomski" (as Mac would say) and the world is blessed with the sight of David Gervais flying up in the air, covered in soot and smoke and glasses askew, beard singed (althoug that is a bit hard to tell really), reaching his perogee and landing with a rubbery splat back on terra firma...

btw Gt, I'd call that the 'infamous Bunker Busting Bomb of Bratislava' I just checked with the 'overlords insurance co.' and what do you know, 'Bombs' are not classified as 'weapons' Aaaaargh, they're classified as 'transport devices'! You know, I never read the fine print and that is what ultimately did me in. Well at least you had the good sense to save the booze and Pool Girls, spoils of war as it would be.

I guess in this round I was the coyote and you were the road runner. Maybe next time I'll be Porky pig,. ah I mean Daffy Duck,,.. no, I mean Sylvester,.. darn, why do the names of the underdogs keep poping into my head? I guess that I don't mind loosing as much as I thought, I must be having too much fun playing the game to care if I win or loose!

Growltigga, perusing the recent events of the cantina, wonders where all the "old" regulars have gone to.... is there a rival T-shop on some other forum which is now being frequented by those unable to hold their own in the booze-swilling and cartoon-violence stakes? I know that north americans are generally lager wendys but surely they can keep up the pace in the cantina??

Where is Dogscoff? where is Saxon? where is Mephisto? where is Gryphin? where is Mac? where is Tesco Samoa?

On a RL note, what a bummer this morning has been... took my new car (an Audi) down the country lanes towards where I get the tram for Manchester, doing about 30mph down a straight road when I hit a patch of black ice, lose the front end, get control of that back, then lose the back end, do a 450 degree spin and end up looking at the underside of a hedge..... bruised, battered and a little shaken. Manage to get the car out of the ditch and drive to my mechanics (luckily only a mile away).... my mechanic is a diva when it comes to repairing dented body parts (he should be after the number of low impact collisions the current Mrs GT has) but he reckons £1800 (USD2700) of damage and I have only had that car 1 week......

THEN..... the mechanic gives me a lift home so I can get the other car when I get a call from the current Mrs GT saying that she has managed to bash her head and has had to go to hospital.... mother-in-law aka Godzilla takes her in so wifey now has 3 stitches in her forehead and is complaining that if it scars, it will mar her looks, my retort that you will never see the scar under her scales didn't go down well....

then I get into work and get a call from my brother saying that my mum broke her leg Last night slipping on some ice in the garden, my dad then managed to break his arm on same ice trying to pick her up.... so both my parents are now in casualty..... my brother is now also there as he managed to stick a hilti-gun nail into his leg doing some DIY at about 11.30 Last night (he is a builder with insomniac tendencies) and his wife also hit some black ice and skidded/slid down a half mile long hill before a friendly bus managed to stop her in her tracks so in 24 hours, 6 members of the GT clan have ended up in casualty OR have trashed their cars....

I think I am going to go home and spend the weekend hiding under the bed.....

Hahahahahahaha LOL!!!
You've been truly blessed GT!! Excuse me for laughing, but it strikes me as very funny and clumsy. All those accidents in such a short amount of time, what are the odds?!
Well GT it looks like you're nearly untouchable in here, in the world of The Cantina, but outside you can be harmed. You've got luck on your hand comstantly here in The Cantina, but outside live threatens you every day.
Go ahead hide under your bed and expect the worst, for it probabely will happen. Good luck!

P.S. The bit of Dutch I gave you, you translated it all wrong. I must admit that I can't translate it fully to English. Here is the rough translation.
"GT, I think you're getting a bit too cocky." Don't get mad, but it really felt like it. You can do everything and anybody else just has to accept. Give others a chance too.
There, I uttered some critisism towards The Great Feline. Hmm... I wonder what my fate will be. As I said before, don't get mad.

*Dogscoff cashes in his "organic manipulation" racial trait so he can afford to lend the GT clan enough racial points to buy the "lucky" racial trait. It might not protect them from black ice and nailguns, but if it stops our sun going nova then it'll be worth it.

Of course, that means no more genetically modified giant squid or shrimp ninja http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Never mind, with the leftover 500 racial points, 'scoff increases his "ground combat" and "aggressiveness" stats and proceeds to beat the living crap out of anyone standing too close.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ooh, teddy bears at dawn I feel. No, people can do to me what they will but the trick of the game is ensuring that you always have a counter to everybody else is doing..........

Certain people do the same thing, for example, Dogscoff is very skilled at resurrecting himself, Gryphin is always ethereal and Mac is completely untouchable and always reverts to brewskis and chilli, it is mainly Rags and RD who are the victims.....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*dogscoff peruses the dessert menu and orders aplomb pudding. (a plum pudd... never mind).

When the fruity confection arrives, Dogscoff delves into the pudding and withdraws (perplexingly) a pair of hand grenades. Suddenly, with a single groinal swish of his antique samurai sword, he elicits a scream from Growltigga and the sound of two small, round objects hitting the floor can be heard beneath the castrato wails.

Dogscoff then pulls the pins on the grenades and administers them to the place recently occupied by GT's plums. He only just has time to duck for cover before GT's pelvis is bLasted up through his body, turning the unfortuante kat's torso insiide out and carrying it through the ceiling by the force of the explosion. Although 'Tig's torso can be seen sailing into the distance through the hole in the ceiling, his legs are left standing, gently smoking in the spot Growltigga used to stand...

Good to have you back, 'Tig. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Gt, here's a bit of almost useless info inspired by your sig..

4-letter words ending with 'ook' = book, cook, gook, hook, look, nook, rook, took. (8 total)

4-letter words ending with 'ash' = bash, cash, dash, gash, hash, lash, mash, rash, sash. (9 total)

4 letter words ending with 'one' = bone, cone, done, gone, hone, lone, none, pone, tone, zone. (10 total)

..I wonder if there is another set of 4-letter words (ending with the same three letters) with more than 10 different words in the set?

hmmm, challenging question.. btw: 'uck' only has 9 different words, the challenge is to find more than 10!

Cheers!

P.S. Yes I know that I find the most useless ways to kill time, but it's all for fun and fun for all!

Oops, actually 'uck' has 10 words, buck, duck, guck, huck, luck, muck, puck, suck, tuck, yuck. (11 if you count the missing 'censored' one!)

But I am always a victim because I cannot come up with a good comeback. I am usually good for two scenes in making sure I'm not tortured, but after that it is hard for me to think of stuff for some reason.
