Spelunking in the Forums

[YingJanshi]

Hm...never been in the basement before...it's rather dark down here...and damp...mighty damp...not really sure if I feel safe down here...think I saw something furry moving in the shadows...hm, what do we have here..."Kali. Take once every morning."..."Lev Prime RS"...mmm, looks like a journal, 'Stone' written on top, looks like it's been written over something else: hard to read, 'Cameron' maybe?...that furry thing just ran past...what's this?...man, this box is HUGE..."Herb's Nuke Box"...okay, yeah, that makes sense...just stepped in something squishy...AND WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?

[ShadowRaven]

Oh, welcome. Good to see a new face down here. Might want to head to higher ground though.

[wolfgar]

And remember, its the squishy stuff that smells and its really hard to wash off your footwear

[YingJanshi]

Does it make any difference if the squishy stuff was purple?

Anyway, so who are the denizens of this subterranean world.

Also, why does IE have a quarantine sign by the door? Something about rabid marsupials?

[ClarkeMarek]

Spelunking, huh?  You know, there's medication that'll keep you from doing that on a regular basis. ;)

[Stormlion1]

Once you enter the basement, a part of it is always part of you. Bwahahahahaha!!!!!  :D

[The Mighty ACHOO]

Abandon all hope ye who hit enter here. This is where the weird ones are.



Like me.   O:-)

This place is just for grinding your post count. Like a spawn spot of MMOs. But instead of garish coloured animals that look like they were stitched together from mismatched parts and who spit out shiny coins or gems if you put them out of their misery, you get...

...wait a minute...

...there is no "instead". What was I thinking?

[wolfgar]

speak for thine own self, I am not some stitched together taxidermy experiment, blasted gene caste freeks......unless i'm using my fenspace character, then i'm the modified one

Only really matters if you care about Post Count though. Beyond that the space is for having fun!  ;)

[Molossian Dog IIC]

Numbers -are- fun!

I´d also like to point out how much I approve of the frequent and sustained use of the term: "to spelunk".

[The Mighty ACHOO]

I pay no attention to post count. I rarely pay attention to how rank I am, either.





Take that any way you want....  ::)

[Stormlion1]

I have 9200 posts? Last time I looked at it, it was in the 7000's. I wonder how long until I hit the nice big number?  :D

[YingJanshi]

Seconds before the next forum crash... :D

[Stormlion1]

I'm ok with that. I don't mind losing the posts more than losing all the threads full of info we would lose.

[Kamose]

So this is the safest place to post multiple times just so you can increase your rank?  I've already been censured once for replying to multiple posters in different posts (in the order I read them as I catch up), rather than multi-quoting in one response (which I don't know how to do).  Guess I HAVE to come to the bottom to find that.   ::)

I say get rid of ranks, there unimportant. The Forums are here for discussion and having fun. Ranks! We don't need no stinking ranks!  O0

Can we at least wait until I'm a Sang-wei?  :D

[Stormlion1]

No, Sang-wei for you!

[YingJanshi]

No, Sang-wei for you!

[Kamose]

I agree with Stormlion, although I'd be glad to make YangJanshi a sang-wei if I knew what it was... some of us do not speak Mandarin.

[Molossian Dog IIC]

... rather than multi-quoting in one response (which I don't know how to do)....

It is simple. When you have hit the "reply" button, the text field appears. On this screen simply scroll down and you will see the last couple of posts. To the right of each is a "insert quote" button. It does just that.
If you want to quote some reply which is further back in the thread you really have to open a second Tab in your browser and find it.

You can also modify quotes like I did with yours, but make sure to make it obvious what you edited.

I never bothered to learn your outlandish capellan ranks. And I always get grumpy if capellan fans speak/write to each other and use them in a way that implies you -should- know their weird rank names. Don´t let HigakeMaru fool you. They do it on purpose. The Capellans ARE evil.  ^-^

They are elementary to the feeling of superiority I feel entitled to. That is a valid concern. ... ... ...

An offering of rabbit meat is not enough to sway me. No silly Cappy rank for you! And for the puppy eyes, off to the capellan re education camps to learn a more stoic mindset.

[YingJanshi]

Bwahahahahaha!!!
Nice comeback sir, nice comeback.


Aaand I got nothin'.

As a precentor in Comstar and a former member of the Liao planetary HPG staff, I find the idea that the Cappellans are being forced to eat rabbits and then being shipped off to a reeducation camp appalling.   >:(  Prepare for interdiction! >:D

[wolfgar]

*opens the grill and looks at the 90lb pig on the spit,*

lunch is about ready, yall gonna stop arguing over the ranks and come eat?

[ClarkeMarek]

Oh goody, pig!!!! O0  Tell you what, we'll take that interdiction and apply it to the Dracs, instead! ;)  And, uh, we'll also send my advisors to Friday afternoon Blake classes to remind them of the Blessed Blake's teachings!

[Stormlion1]

Excellent! Nothing endangers stoicism like a lack of communication!  :)

Now to take off and eat some dead pig or more preferably barely dead cow that's still mooing as I cut pieces of steak from its raw hide.  [drool]

Oh, I shall ignore the Blakeism's for now. When I am done my food off to re education with you as well for deprogramming.

[YingJanshi]

Wait...wait...when is the turn over from Lieutenant to Captain? Because I swear the last time I saw my profile I was a Lieutenant?
How could I miss being promoted???  :-\

[ClarkeMarek]

Wait?  You DARE try to brainwash a loyal member of Comstar? ???  We shall have to have a talk... }:)

You're a Capellan.  Nobody notices when you do a good job. ;)

(So you guys know, I am kidding about all this.)

Bazinga!! And the hits keep on coming...

I'm from the Federated Suns, so it's not brainwashing, its deprogramming and maybe even liberating if we happen to be invading at the time.

Remind me to tell you about one of our precentor martials... :P

[Stormlion1]

Which ones? There have been four, two per organiation.  ;)

[ClarkeMarek]

Which ones? There have been four, two per organiation.  ;)

All of them, just step into this pretty nice room and our Friday Night Blake Study Group teacherPR guy will tell you all about them... ;)

[BirdofPrey]

Eh, you're all crazies here.

[ClarkeMarek]

Eh, you're all crazies here.

Speak for yourself.  I'm stark ravin loony! :D

[Stormlion1]

Yup, I'm nuts. Which begs the question, don't he crazy ones deny there nuts? So if I admit it does that mean I'm not nuts?
Damn Circular logic, now my brain hurts...

What if you're a kosher-keeping Capellan?

[HikageMaru]

*opens the grill and looks at the 90lb pig on the spit,*

lunch is about ready, yall gonna stop arguing over the ranks and come eat?

I don't eat that, either.

[ClarkeMarek]

What if you're a kosher-keeping Capellan?

If they're allowing you to remain kosher, and not forcing you to eat rabbits, all is fine! O0

[Stormlion1]

You would eat it if you were hungry enough. Yes, look at the burning pork on the grill, smell the flavor, gaze upon the tastiness. Yes, you know it to be true! You are hungry and desire to feed. The need to feed upon sweet, sweet pork.

Oh and rabbits are good eating too. Taste like chicken!

So, where do I sign up for a nice serving of gefilte fish? :)

[BirdofPrey]

I don't eat that, either.

Oh god a lawyer AND he doesn't like a good roasted hog?

HES A WITCH HE MUST BURN

[ClarkeMarek]

Oh god a lawyer AND he doesn't like a good roasted hog?

HES A WITCH HE MUST BURN

1)No he isn't!

2)Hey, put that out! >:(  You're gonna burn the place to the ground.  Sprinklers are turned off until tomorrow night!

[Stormlion1]

So, where do I sign up for a nice serving of gefilte fish? :)

Listen to a Girl Genuis radio drama and find out. ;)

[YingJanshi]

HEY!!!! Who's been playing with fire in my thread??? You know how hard it is to get rid of the smell of smoke?

*Mumbles to self...*

[ClarkeMarek]

What's worse, we're under a water ration....

[YingJanshi]

What's worse, we're under a water ration....

Not a problem...I know someone who can take care of that. One call and you can have your own iceberg.

[Stormlion1]

I need a ice cube for my drink, not a iceberg.

[ClarkeMarek]

Not a problem...I know someone who can take care of that. One call and you can have your own iceberg.

No thanx, I like bei...oh, that kind of an iceberg. :-[

[BirdofPrey]

Alright fine.

Anyone want a half burned rag and an empty vodka bottle?

[The Mighty ACHOO]

Nope. Dignity and an empty sack is worth the empty sack.

[Stormlion1]

Not me, only real use for those is for a making a Molotov Cocktail.

[BirdofPrey]

It used to be a molotov cocktail.  You guys said no fire, so I put the rag out and drank the vodka.

[Stormlion1]

I never said you couldn't play with fire. Go right ahead. I don't care just don't burn down the forums.

[The Mighty ACHOO]

Wait until he belches. There will be fire.


There will also be fire later, but it will be at the other end.

[BirdofPrey]

Hey, I may explode occasionally, but I don't have explosive farts.

[Stormlion1]

Not me either but there is this guy in work...

[wolfgar]

So, where do I sign up for a nice serving of gefilte fish? :)

I dont know how to make that, sorry, i skipped over Kosher cooking for BBQ 102

[Molossian Dog IIC]

Well, the way I know the Cappies, they eat almost all kinds of critters. Pigs, chicken, duck, even...

Hey! HEY! Wait a minute! Back off, man!

*zoom*

[Stormlion1]

My, how quickly he runs.

[ClarkeMarek]

It's OK.  I wouldn't know the first thing about Kosher, either.

Well, the way I know the Cappies, they eat almost all kinds of critters. Pigs, chicken, duck, even...

Hey! HEY! Wait a minute! Back off, man!

*zoom*

Oh don't worry, they quit eating Davions by the start of the Third Succession War. :) 

[BirdofPrey]

That's just what they want you to think.

[ClarkeMarek]

It's true!  Ever tried to dress and clean one?  It's a pain, and there's not much left that's edible when you're done.

[Stormlion1]

Its the clean living, no excess meat or fat. Just muscle and sinew, perfect physique for the federated sun warrior on his way to invade the CapCon.

[BirdofPrey]

That's why you should stick with Lyrans, better marbling.

[Molossian Dog IIC]

All the brass hanging from their breast makes for a crunchy meal, too. Like cereals.

Oh damn, I forgot I already bolted from this thread. Don´t mind me. Just passing through.

[The Mighty ACHOO]

That's OK, you just ran so far that you made it back in from the opposite side. It's all good!  }:)

[Molossian Dog IIC]

[wolfgar]

alright, wheres my Davy Crockett

[Stormlion1]

Nah, Davey Crockett is going overboard. Send in the Poor Bloody Infantry to swarm it!   :D

[YingJanshi]

Nah, Davey Crockett is going overboard. Send in the Poor Bloody Infantry to swarm it!   :D

What? Armed only with BirdofPrey's Molotov cocktail I suppose?

[BirdofPrey]

Don't knock it until you've fried it.

[Stormlion1]

Yup, and once there down they can be used to feed the people of the CapCon! Truly the circle of life...

[YingJanshi]

Wait...are we back to the pork or the rabbit?  ???

[Stormlion1]

I'm guessing you have never had the opportunity to compare the smell of roasting pork, cooked rabbit, and Molotov cocktailed PBI's? Trust me, the rabbit smells different but you can't tell the difference between the other two.

[YingJanshi]

Wouldn't know. Always keep my 'Mech sealed. (Won't catch me like the Knights-the-Sphere!!)

[BirdofPrey]

Consider this:  Wine tasting robots will identify a human as pork when a smartass sticks his finger into the sensor, and pig organs have been used as transplants for humans.
Clearly we share something in common.

[The Mighty ACHOO]

What is this obsession with rabbit, pork, whatever? We all known that in the CapCon if you are not wealthy what you eat is soy based fake food.

[YingJanshi]

...that would explain why I saw Charlton Heston running around screaming like a mad man the other day...

[Stormlion1]

They only think its soy and maybe the bounty of the sea, but in the CapCon the people make that one final sacrifice for there brothers and sisters...

[BirdofPrey]

What is this obsession with rabbit, pork, whatever? We all known that in the CapCon if you are not wealthy what you eat is soy based fake food.

They can afford to use real soy to make their fake food?

[The Mighty ACHOO]

Well, reprocessed soy extracts

[Stormlion1]

The CapCon dines well I see.
