Well, of course not... It's a Lyran manual. :D

No longer allowed to step on an Urbie's foot to see if the top flips up.

I'm no longer allowed to try teaching my cousin's kids what schadenfreude is.

When my niece asks if I think of her as my number one relative, I'm no longer allowed to say that I think of her as more of a number two.

Launching objects toward an enemy capital at super-luminal velocity is a war crime, not a gift to "unilaterally declare peace".

It is still an appropriate response to fruitcake.

The gunnery chief would like to remind me that field rations are not a replacement for tungsten penetrator rounds. More to the point, I would gain no satisfaction if such an experiment proved successful as I still have to eat them.

The Long Tom is not to be used as an instrument for the percussion parts of the 1812 Overture.
Why not?  The West Point band uses cannons to play the 1812.

I am no longer allowed to play a game of "Halo 3" against anyone else in my local Btech group. Apparently, I am "Too MLG" for his sorry a... *Ahem*.

I'm also no longer allowed to make a legion of remote-controlled, Booby-trapped Gladiators. Or rather, I'm not allowed to use them.

Resulting explosion from the Ammo Dump took out the entire area it was located and tipped over the Rat Pack me and my group were in. By the way were on Strana Mechty during the negotiations with Clans.  Fun times, Dark Caste, Clan's version of the keystone cops running around. fun times.

So, you climb out the back hatch and flip the thing upright and then haul ass. Been there done that with BMPs during field exercises.
Wolf wins every fight but one, and in that one he dies, his fangs locked on the throat of his opponent.

Do not challenge Clan Ice Hellion to a Trial by video games. Aside from the speed run jokes, they tend to throw controllers when they lose.

I am not allowed to conclude any description of a plan by pointing to someone with a prosthetic replacement and claiming the plan requires it.

While I am technically allowed to begin a plan by claiming I require someone's prosthetic replacement, in actuality it is incredibly difficult to get anyone to listen past "step one."

I am no longer allowed to perform "Trust falls" with my Atlas.

The exception to this rule is if I perform a trustfall with an enemy unit, or if I have battlearmor on my unit's back.

I'm no longer allowed to borrow the time machine in order to take a bunch of used video games I bought cheap back to when they were brand new and sell them for a profit.

I'm also no longer allowed to use the time machine to go back in time to when a rare and valuable video game was easy to obtain, buy a bunch of copies, then return to the present and sell them for a profit.

I'm especially not allowed to use the time machine to buy merch from musicians shortly before their tragic deaths in order to scalp it.

Sending Death Commandos to assassinate idols is not an approved form of psychological warfare. When said idol is named Lynn Minmei it becomes a moral obligation.

Canopian Pleasure Circuses are not acceptable "stops along way" when going tdy.  Also it is wrong for me me to use my AFFS travel card to pay for entertainment at Canopian Pleasure Circuses .

I am no longer allowed to play High speed dirt by megadeth during orbital drops.

I am no longer allowed to use corsair aerospace fighters as "lawn darts" from orbit.

I am no longer allowed to paint the "SPAM" logo on the battle armor.

Firing TC Srms at battle armor is messy, it is not funny to tell new recruits that the battle armor is full of cherry pop soda.

The chain of command does not care I had to work late, I am NOT allowed to take a Gürteltier, to pick up my date, then go to a bar.

Of course not.  You're supposed to tell them that the BA are full of beet juice or raspberry jam (depending on consistency).
