Not to get serious, but you may be surprised to find I can hit a moving target at 50 feet with darts. I can also hit a noisy target while wearing blind folds. Would you like to be my target?

:: Checking "Rules of Engagement" and "Geneva Convetntion" Chapters IV, XXX, and index XV, hmm, nope, It is clear that tiggas are excluded from such protection. They are fare game for any type of a assualt.

Right...

:: Dogscoff stalks out of the bar and returns with a fireman's ladder.

"Soon get that cat down from there..."

:: He walks over to where Tigga is hiding in the rafters, extends the ladder, loops it over the feline neck and then reracts the ladder, trapping Tigga's head between the rungs. He pulls him to the floor, and while Tigga struggles to get the ladder off, Dogscoff goes to the bar to acquire a bottle of brandy (on Tigga's tab, of course.) He then rubs all Tigga's fur up the wrong way (cats hate that) and pours contents of the brandy bottle into the ruffled fur. Finally, he flicks open his lighter and... *whoosh!*

:: Dogscoff goes up to the specials board, adds the words "Tigga Flambee" to the bottom, then leaves the bar in a dignified fashion while Tigga runs around the bar, screaming like a cartoon character.

Chardon,
Do you ever get up Boston way?
Care for an email or hot seat game?

I do not have the pleasure of getting up by Boston at all, though I live a scant 2 hours drive away. I'm sure I'd enjoy that city of revolution, if I could ever figure out cities in general. They are so much more complex (to me) than the countryside.

Try the "Got Gold?" game on PBW. We wish to get a Proportions, all human game going but are having trouble finding humans (really?!?!? on this planet!!!!). I've never PBW'd before but this seems fun.

I am having enough pleasure trying to play stock SE. I wish I could live in the country. My "Stodgy old eyes", (as GT put it), don't see whell enough to drive.

Understood Gr. about 1.67. It took me weeks to get Proportions to work right. I was totaly amazed and VERY pleased when it did work, but OH! the entrance price!!!

Now that I am there... a whole new dimension of SEIV is open to me. Not mad better, just excellently different. I still love SEIV stock too.

For any SEIV game, I'm as happy as a kitten behind a leaky cow

"Old eyes" Gr???

Old Mac stumbles into the Cantina after another rough day at work, looks around, sees the mess inside, calls a hazerdous waste cleaning company and hires them to clean up the Cantina, (smiling to himself, he puts the bill on Mephisto's tab,
), sits down, orders a brewski, sips it slowly as what appears to be fur gently floats down from the rafters covering the floor. hmmmm, he advises the bar tender to shovel the animal piles left on the floor surrounded by flies and tells him to spread it around the rose bushes outside the window so hopefully they will re-grow after the Gryphin's earlier demise led to their downfall, he walks over to where the furry fluffy bunnie waitresses are trying to tape together the various ripped tabs lying on the floor. He smiles, and slowly walks out and back to his audacious work once more, Only 1 more day and he'll have some free time again.... sigh...

just some ideas mac

Walking into the cantina gingerly...looking around to make sure all is safe...I sit at the bar...What a week! Ordering my drink of choice..., mead of course, I am informed that my tab is over the limit.

"What?...but I've only been here once before." I inform the bartender as I look at the tab...Gryphin, someone named Growl Tigga and a slew of others...I look around with narrowed eyes...I never get mad...even yes but never mad. I pull out my trusty Visa and give it to the bartender. "Keep that mead coming!" I say as I take another sip, apple cyser this time...yum!

The bartender informs me that a breakfast has been paid for by a Mac and would I like that now? I shake my head no...too late for that now but I will take it some morning soon..I also inform him that NO ONE is to put anything on my tab unless I say so and I am in the cantina at the time. This girl's got a budget!

I look around to see if Mac is present....

"What's a nice Pooh Bear like you doin in a place like this"

Kinda rough neiborhood mam, might need some *P R O T E C T I O N * if you know what I mean. There are all sorts of D A N G E R O U S characters here. Why just today we had two pyromaniacs in the place, One doctor giving enimas with a shot gun, then he goes and does experiments with magnets, Ruins all the yogurt, and beat up some very nice people with a dumb lookiing usless piece of wood. He did do some nice things with the bannana.
