somewhere near the middle and if you think about it, whereever it is, I am above it

GT: "whereever it is I'm above it". And by extension are you the center of the universe?

Sorry Tiggia I have the patents to your universe.

And according to those patents your not the centre of your universe. Your slightly left of centre.

big furry bumcakes to the lot of you!!!

from one's own perspective, it is only natural to assume that the universe, and especially the paleosomatic effect it has, revolves your own individual psyche - your own perception will be that you are its epicentre

Tesco, calling an Englishman left of centre is fighting talk and then some!!- your father should have warned you about that

Gryphin - I am modest, I have always been modest on this site, when I say I am the best, I am merely stating the obvious mes enfants

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

what does it mean???

Over here it is not an insult.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tesco,

A lot of Americans assume I am a Communist. After all, Canada is a socialist country and that is the same thing as Communism, isn’t it? Perhaps our fluffy little Tigga has been influenced a bit by our American neighbors and sees anything left of the British Conservative Party as raging, godless communism.

I was thinking that we should make the Tigga/Gryhin duel more interesting. If Tigga wins, the furry worm must be shaved and a picture posted. If Gryhin wins, Tigga must paint a giant “G” on his head and then go to work and have pictures posted. If we were to apply it more broadly, Tesco could be forced to wear troUsers and Mac would have to buy new undies (no pictures need to be posted; we will trust your word). Naturally, there is no need to set a forfeit for me, as we all know that the Fluffy Bunnie Species shall rule the galaxy.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Perhaps our fluffy little Tigga has been influenced a bit by our American neighbors

What a horrible thing to say... that really isn't called for

anything left of the British Conservative Party as raging, godless communism.

Hmm.. this shows the ex-colonials' complete lack of understanding of British politics (at least ours is not based on spin, PR hype and bribery).. anything left of the Tories is hardly communism, our labour party is left of the Tories but still more central than say the Liberal Democrats who are generally more left than labour. What our Labour party is not is truly socialist - communism would just not work in England (and doesn't work in Canada either)

Tigga must paint a giant “G” on his head and then go to work and have pictures posted.

and are you going to pay my bills for me when I am out of a job? when I lose, I will simply say, I was beaten' and look forward to the next game

Tesco could be forced to wear troUsers

err.... I thought he was, he is not sitting there posting on the forum naked is he? how do you know anyhow? are you and Tesco an item?

Mac would have to buy new undies (no pictures need to be posted; we will trust your word)

I second this - Mac should get himself some airtex Y-fronts with the reinforced gusset and guaranteed non-stain gortex lining - I will also take his word on this

there is no need to set a forfeit for me

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

ahem, as for penalties..... how about the following, also please be advised there really is no actual Communist Country in the world according to the actual make up of what a Communist Country should be. By definition, I don't believve there is one, therefore, the word Communist is used but does not incorporate what a true Communist state should be, otherwise there would be numerous happy people in this world. A true Communist state is Utopia, believe me, no such country exists anywhere on this planet..

Saxon if he loses "Must Kiss a GNU" and send us a copy of the photo of its conception

Growltigga if he loses must grow a mustach for 2 months and send photo or signed document signed by at least 3 neutral parties attesting to the fact that he is actually growing and wearing one

Gryphin if he loses must shave his wooly bear of 2 months, photo to be put on his websight

Tesco - a photo of him "Moose Kissing"

Mephisto photo riding a Donkey while eating carrots, photo to be sent

Mac ahem, well I must agree that a photo of one in his birthday suit while strutting around in his gungies would not be appropoe and would most likely be censored not only by this forum but the internet community at large, Therefore, If I lose, I shall endeavor to sit at a cafe, indulging in some brewskis while compiling a thesis on CTW and TGP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Saxon to be second
If at the end of 1 year of play my score is higher than that of GrowlTigga, He will not shave is upper lip for 1 month.
If at the end of one year of play my score is less than that of GrowlTigga I will shave my upper lip for 2 months.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Capt Kwok (aka Capt Spoogy), we should be starting very soon, I believe everyone has uploaded their empires, but I haven't cked lately, Discussions within the realm of those here within are always welcomed and lively, especially if you are into "Moose or Gnu Kissing". As you can see the current discussion concerns beards and whether they make one distinguished or just plain hairy. In addition we are contemplating the concepts of certain penalties for those of us who go down into glorious but blazing defeat. You are more then welcome to pull up a chair, pop open a brewski or two, settle back, and while watching the bouncing sites that walk by, indulge yourself in this most exceptional Bar & Grill Cantina. We don't bite, well most of us anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Tesco, in regards to beaver kissing (LOL) we will have to put that to a vote of those within the Cantina, the photos should be very interesting to say the least http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tigga,

I am so upset. Here I am, simply trying to make your life a happier place. I thought painting a giant G on the Shreck-like bald spot would give you a G Spot, thereby lifting your bedroom antics to new levels of enjoyment. Oh well, I knew that I should have just kept my humanitarian impulses to myself.

As you say, the kissing of Gnu’s is nothing new to me, but given the high level of interest, I will endeavor to get a photo for web distribution. Hopefully this will dispel your foul rumors of my sexual inactivity.

Tesco,

The Moose in Canada is a bit unlike the Tiger in Africa. As Tigga will be happy to tell you, my very being is so offensive to Tigers, that they have all left and gone to Asia. We are left with lions, leopards and house cats. I hope that I can match this situation in the game.

Have you heard about the Queen’s visit in ’67? Some bright spark in External Affairs thought it would be nice to present the Queen with two live beavers. Technically, the tax on Canada, per year, is two beaver pelts, so they thought it would be fun. Anyway, the beavers are in a cage and during the presentation, the Queen asks, “My, what are they doing?” Imagine the fun that the Prime Minister had answering that question, as it was a male and a female in the cage.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

For all of you who wanted to see me riding a fellow donkey with a carrot in my moth – you have noticed that I could not join the game due to lack of time, did you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mes. You will be easier to defeat that way.
There are no ships or units in the way now.

And My race is up there now.

So let the game begin

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mac, you have to re-upload your empire again. I only get an 0 byte files from you when I download it.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Right, it is Saturday evening here in the UK and I have just had some fantastic news so I am happily into my 4th can of DAB lager and making a well wicked curry

In no particular order of importance:

Mephisto - I realise that I have been nasty to you over the Last few months calling you "Esel" and all - much apologies

Saxon - you cannot offend me, my G string is permanently tuned to 'A' and as for sexual antics and prowess, I will have you know I once went out for 3 dates with a Miss World (Miss Venezuela before you ask)

Wardad - damn, you have found my secret, BTW I love you and really fancy you, next time I come to Phoenix, please can I come and give you a big wet sloppy kiss

Gryphin - be a man? my god, only colonials could think facial hair is a mark of a man - is this coming down to the age old male dominance game of who has the biggest tallywagger? you think you do vis a vis your facial hair, the trouble is, I KNOW it is me - we will see who is more manly in the Desaster Bash - I bet the lasses on this forum (I think the lovely Shyrka is the only one) could whip us all

Mac, where do you buy your colostomy bags from?

Cptn Kwok - the game will be a firecracker, see what happens when WE all start roleplaying

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mephisto, Iwent back to the PBW game site but the upload button is greyed out, do I have to withdraw from game and then rejoin to upload. It figures it would be me holdoing everything up.. sigh, i have to take some computer courses..

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

mac, post a request in PBW's Admin Requests forum. An admin can reset your status to Empire Needed, so you can upload a new .emp file.

(I would have taken the liberty of setting it for you, but IE can't find the PBW site at the moment.)

[ Edit ] D'oh! I forgot there's an easier way. You can e-mail the new .emp directly to the game owner; he can create the game with the new one rather than the current upload.

Thanks

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Capnq and Gryphin, tks for help, I emailed my empire to Mephisto, so hopefully he gets it, had trouble with hotmail tho, lst time it didn't tell me if it wnt out, tried 2nd time this time said it went to him. Dumb computer systems.... So he probably got two copies.. ugh

Mephisto, yes we know you won't be thrashing the rest of us in the game, however, a photo of you riding a donkey and eating a carrot would be a nice lst prize..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif would go nice next to the photos on Moose & Gnu kissing

8x11 or 10x14 ????

hopefully you will be able to join with us in our next escapade after this one,

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tigga,

So did you propose on date three and Miss World became Mrs GT? Perhaps I do need to be nice to you after all, given my dire single status. Perhaps your wife has friends…

On the topic of who has the biggest thingamjing, I have to tell you that we are all out of luck. On Sunday, I was at the game park and there were some elephants strolling about. We lost this race before it even began.

Did my best to get a snap of a gnu being kissed, let us see how the film develops and perhaps I can scan it in.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

So did you propose on date three and Miss World became Mrs GT

No, Miss World was too fickle and flippant to be a steady relationship - it took that long to wear down her morales (or lack of them)- Mrs GTR is an English Rose, and not some Latino firecracker

Perhaps your wife has friends

Now that she does - one of the things that impressed me most about Mrs GT was the sheer quality of her friends. Truly, the class of '88 Loreto Convent School are a fine lot of strapping stacked young fillies with a lust for life and a low tolerance for alcohol - as I said at my wedding, you can always tell a Loreto girl, you just cannot tell her very much

I was at the game park and there were some elephants strolling about

I went whale watching off Iceland a few years ago - now that would have given an elephant an inferiority complex. Strangely, all I got was a headache and an ambivalent feeling toward garden hosepipes

Did my best to get a snap of a gnu being kissed,

what about a picture of you kissing a beaver? Mac would like that as he seems to be keen on rodentia

Mephisto, did my upload work? did you get my shipset as well?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

I will have to ask you to excuse my more than normal ignorance, but is Loreto Convent an international order of nuns or is it just one school, just down the road from where I work? That Mrs. GT has not only risen from beneath the garage floor, but that she also went to school down the road from me, is just to much for my small vegetable mind to handle.

As for kissing beavers, will a rock hyrax do? Not a lot of beavers here in Kenya. On a related topic, I suggest you move over to the “Art or Science” thread and read about the French Fighter Pilot.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Ahhh............................ Nothing like the mass confusion called implemtation

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

I will have to ask you to excuse my more than normal ignorance, but is Loreto Convent an international order of nuns or is it just one school, just down the road from where I work?

Good question that man - I suspect it is an international order of nuns who run convent schools all round the world - there are 2 loreto schools in the manchester environs and Mrs GT went to the nicer one of the two - she certainly didn't go to the Nairobi branch

That Mrs. GT has not only risen from beneath the garage floor

that is what you get if you dont get the sand/cement mix in your concrete just right - I believe Mrs GT (or at least her mother-in-law is) is an example of a new, previously unkonown type of undead which even Buffy couldn't beat up - rising from the grave is no trouble for Mrs GT, she can rise from anything

will a rock hyrax do?

No, semi-arboreal rodentia are not acceptable substitutes for aquatic rodentia - I would suggest you see what can be done with pangolins or aardvaarks

and read about the French Fighter Pilot

Yeh yeh, mate I knew that joke when you were still straining boiled egg from you beard - we call it the joke of Alphonse the Fearless French Fighter Ace - we have another one about Wolfgang the Terrible Teutonic Tank Driver but I wouldn't dare go through that on this forum
