It is not my birthday, and I cannot eat my enemies.
Even if I is my birthday, I cannot devour the bodies of my slain enemies.

I see the very small difference there... ^-^

I agree.  A kick to the crotch is more appropriate.  And Herb approved.   O0

Just because the specifications call for a 9mm cartridge does not mean I should immediately go to the .375 H&H.

My contract does not include decapitation of my manager as a "severance package."

What about cutting his car in half with a Forestrymech?

I cannot front a mech production company as a miniature's production company for Zentradi gamers. The live weapons and excessive orders of myomer are a giveaway.

I am no longer allowed to provide an in-game soundtrack by having my MechWarrior plug his iPod into his 'Mech's external speakers.

Similarly, I am no longer allowed to define ten tons of Communications Equipment as "The Inner Sphere's Largest Subwoofer."  Or "Speakers so loud they blow Elemental's BattleArmor off."

We called them "The Heavy Metal Cavalry" in my group....a 'Mech company all equipped that way...

I was going more with Ride of the Valkyries initially, with a wider selection of various music stylings for a variety of situations.  For instance, when a 'Mech was targeted and every attack missed, it'd pop up Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life."

I'm not allowed to point behind someone and shout "Look, a distraction!" before punching them in the face/stabbing them/shooting them/setting them on fire/running away.

I can not convince senior officers to adjust the battle plan with logically sound arguements. "All the enemy soldiers were babies at one point. The hospital contains babies. Therefore we should blow up the hospital to deny the enemy future soldiers!"
