actually, circling the waggons was another operation entirely. TGP is some sort of acrobatic stunt developed and used by our very own Gryphin, so if you want to know about it, he is the man to ask. (unless you dont want to disappear like GT, who supposedly found out the details)

Regarding CTW... hooo boy, wouldn't you like to know.

I hear a rumour that GrowlTigga once saw a jpg of the infamous Gryphin position. Is it a coincidence that no-one has seen him in weeks?
Now I'm really curious what the Gryphin position is. Is GrowlTigga not around lately because he got hurt trying it?

Maybe he never left the Cantina; he's just been staying in the holodeck and not coming out all this time. Maybe we should check to make sure he's OK?

Lol circle the wagons just as bad as the gryphin position, and the FBW's are trained in both, plus the erotic art of sexual innuendo with construction size hedgeclippers

Hi! I've been trying to figure out what the "Gryphin position" and "Circling the Wagons" are. In my search so far, I have only discovered numerous vague references to the Gryhin position, and nowhere did I find a clear explaination.

However, here is Gryphin's explaination of "Circling the Wagons", back from January in an old thread. You might be disappointed to find out what it is:
Quote:
Originally posted by Gryphin:
"Circle the wagons" Historically was a form of defense used against bandits / marauders and such. Used in the colloquial it means a group of people banding together to support or protect each other. In the case I was referring to, one of the participants on that board used the expression to explain the actions of the group and its response to a perceived "attack" on them. Someone else "corrected" her because that was how wagon trains of the settlers in the "American West" would defend themselves against the Indians and it might offend a Native American.
The "Gryphin position" is still a mystery, but it seems that: (1) It's fun and very exciting; (2) It involves one or more FBW's; (3) Once you start doing it, it's hard to stop; (4) You need to be extremely fit and healthy to attempt it; and (5) It is somewhat dangerous.

Anyway, in preparation for experiencing the Gryphin position when we do find out what it is, it is suggested that you keep yourself in good physical shape by lifting weights, jogging, swimming, stretching, doing push-ups and sit-ups, cycling, playing sports, etc.

Heh the gryphin position, you certainly don't want the FBW's to attempt it with you, thye may seem scantily clad and very beautiful on the outside but inside they just want to torture you, they are adept followers of the sexual mechanics of rolling pins, dishwashers, portable hand blenders *ouch* and hedgeclippers, trust me

*GT Can be heard screaming from the office he's resigned his absncece to and female giggling can be heard that sends shivers done every patrons spine!*

I need a drink Taz, hold the demonic torture from the FBW's please

Here have an extra-large frosted mug. I'll put it on someone's tab. (Fyron's or Mac's or Dogscoff's or Gryphin's or ...)

As to those FBW's - They ARE NOT demonic!

...Just a little DEVILISH

P.S. You were SEEN Ruatha! Even deity's from the Thread That Never Dies must pay at the Cantina.

Hmm... devilish. I think Gunther has to return once more to cleanse some souls, hehe...
Personally I like girls with a slight devilish or demonic tendencies. They make live interesting.

The door to the cantina slowly opened....... A long shadow filled the room. The most ( ) feared LLama in the world, Señor Temido mucho It was his shadow that cast fear and doom upon all in the cantina. As his hoves made that clip clop sound of impending death, the lesser feared but killers non the less llamas moved out.....
