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...

Hurrah for the forces of the brave, the good and the despotic!!

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! Yeah yeah, that's the ticket!.. now where did I put that ACME magnifying glass? I'll not get caught by the fine print again!

Cheers!

Bob? Who is Bob?

*Rags strides in and orders a brewski from the bar keep. He sits down at his regular booth and declares, "It's been a long day." At which he falls asleep.

Oh ok, I will have to do that later tonight as I am unable to right now due to time restrictions. I have to be going shortly so I shouldn't get in volved in a real time conversation.

Edit: I got a new avatar since I just got promoted. Ain't it purdy?*

*) The pretty factor credit goes to David for making it for me.

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.....
