Forum Chat Bar & Grill

[mac5732]

Don't know if everyone will like this idea, but, just thought, that maybe we needed somewhere on the forum where everyone could just talk about whatever with all of us, ask questions, leave Messages or whatever you like, whereever there is not a seperate listed topic. This would free up the Posts from clutter or whatever, Also don't forget the SE4 live chat room.

Just thought this might be different, well we'll see who all uses it if any, if no one likes the idea, oh well, I tried http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mac, are you not simply trying to open a new cantina? after the Last one shuffled off this mortal coil and filed for Chapter 11?

Could be a good idea, cos Erax was Last seen in the ruins of the old cantina hiding. If no-ones tells him about this new place, we will never see him again!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Gryphin]

Oh, nice place can I get a glass of Cabernet in here?
Salutations upon the solstice guys.

[Growltigger]

Gryphin, the cabernet sauvignon has been heated, infused with cloves, oranges, lemons etc and is rather nicely mulled - it gets right into the bloodstream!!

No eggnog here!!!

This is GT signing off for Christmas and the New Year. Have a great one everyone and all

[mac5732]

ah, well you 2 old reprobates http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , I'd knew you would show up eventually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif well this is for one and all and if Taz shows up, he can take his place behind the the bar, I havn't interviewed any FBW yet, hmmm, Do I have any takers for the job...

I dont think I have been in here since Cantina II, or maybe the opening couple Posts to Cantina III, but I just got back from having this really good, really smokey, sort of pete-moss flavoured 12 year scotch that started with an L, which I cant remember the full name of..

wait, what the hell is this topic about? Did I mention the suflet and the et-cetera. ah, the superb et-cetera. some of the best that i've had.

[Growltigger]

Puke, old chap, I believe the peaty tipple you were partaking was most likely "Lagavulin", a rather smokey choice drink. If what you were drinking had a bLast of the sea in it, then you were drinking "Laphroig" - my personal favourite.

Mac, the Mongols never got as far as Kiev. The valiant defence of Georgia and Kazar by the 5th and 6th Byzantine armies, gave time for the armoured legions of the "Army of the East" to jump across the black sea, and terminate with extreme prejudice. Glorious days, a glorious fight, and massively aided by that stupendous German crusade that for some reason turned up and got caught in the melee (why they were crusading that late in the game can only be a bug). Now for the Italians!!!

TerranC, stick to mulled wine, eggnog is for wimps and colonials

[David E. Gervais]

Nice Bar & grill you opened here Mac, but where is the lounge? I'm partial to a nice soft comfy chair or sofa.

Pooh Star might apply for a job as a FBW. What are the requierments?

[Growltigger]

Gryphin, key attributes for a FBW (other than being a natural beauty) is a disinclination toward wearing clothes, and being awfully willing under pretty much any circumstance - oh, they have to be quite good at waitressing as well

[David E. Gervais]

Can we have LeeLoo as the barmaid?

*Heads towards the most obscure corner of the room and starts watching the other patrons while taking a few notes for future blackmails* Who knows what might happen here?

Growltigger,
I think Pooh Star qualifies. She is very pretty in a wonderfuly well rounded way.

Laphroig, it was. A truely commendable little libation, too.

I see we have a fair number of Total War players here, can any of you good fellows recommend any mod's or add-ons?

[mac5732]

Puke, How do you get the pinging sound off and the regular sound effects into the game of Delvmod, tks

Mac

[Puke]

pinging sound? I generally play with the sound off, so im not sure what you mean.

if the mod had replaced the sound files, you could simply erase the 'sounds' directory from the mod. but i dont see a 'sounds' directory in my copy of the devnull mod, so that probably wont do it. i am guessing you are refering to weapons fire, which would require an edit of the components.txt to change each weapon to use the default sound.

if you are talking about button pushing sounds, and the like, then you must be using a Version with custom sounds, in which case you should be able to simply delete the 'sounds' directory as described.

[mac5732]

Nope, Its a 2nd sound folder within the Mod itself that is causing the problem, I went back and found my question when we lst started and I answered my own question. For some reason when I've loaded the mod a 2nd sound folder shows up, don't know why, but as soon as I eliminate if from the Mod, all sound is back to normal.

Tks for answering, Have a brewski on me, "Taz old bean, set one up for the Puke on my tab http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hi, mac

I didn't get any games for christmas but I did get three DVD's.. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Count of Monte Cristo and Robin Williams Live on Broadway.

My most recent games came on the January 2004 Computer Gaming World DVD. (5 free full Version games,.. Deus Ex, Warlords Battlecry, Thief 2: the metal age, and two others that escape me at the moment due to the fact that they will never be installed on my computer.

Happy New Year Mac

[Loser]

I got soy pasta!!!

and some other things...

But soy pasta! This is great! Pasta I can eat without dropping out of ketosis!

[Growltigger]

Gryphin,

That statement is proof that you are as mad as a badger that accidentally reversed backwards onto a hedgehog after slipping down a muddy slope!

If the wife goes shopping in New York without me, the following consequences will occur:

1 I will not be there to vet what she spends, I dont really want to take a second mortgage following her excesses;

2 I will be in the doghouse for not being available to say "yes, dear, it looks lovely on you, cerise is really your colour and is oh so appropriate for aunt mabel's funeral";

3 she will come back with loads of crap we dont need, or more importantly, cannot fit in the house;

4 she will buy 200 pairs of expensive shoes;

5 she will get lost, and probably end up in Washington or somewhere; and

6 it will cost me too much to bail her out of prison for assaulting a police officer!

[Gryphin]

So in other words
You are whipped. It is ok, you can admitt it here./ We are all friends.

[Growltigger]

Gryppo, by whipped, I assume you mean that I am "under the thumb", in that I do everything my wife tells me. If you mean "whipped" in the more colloquial sense, then yes, but I have a special club for that which I go to on Saturday mornings.

Yes, I am under the thumb, but view it more as a necessary evil to protect our bank balances rather than any surrendering of free will to "she who must be obeyed".

I get out a lot though, normally when she is off riding fell beasts and terrorising hobbits

[mac5732]

Marriage is a tough job, the "Wife" does excert some control over the men of the house http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif there is an old saying, "can't live with them and can't live without them" a paradox within the confines of human living space. To say one is whipped, depends on the utilization of what is meant by whipped http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif or for that which is whipped, this terminology as used within the context of GT's and the Gryphin's roboust discussion opens up various interpetations of just what is meant by the term Whipped or what is being whipped. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif so therefore I must, in researching scientific subsideraries of this term as used among these two reprobates must inquire as to the term whipped or for that which is whipped in conjunction with Circle the Wagons or the Gryphin Position, or is this just a rendition of two scalywags jousting within the framework of science... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[geoschmo]

Take heart Gryph. GT is liable to make for New York and end up in Boston any way. They drive on the wrong side of the road and all over there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Growltigger]

You are all barking mad and weird to boot.

Gryphin, one day we will do Boston, but I have changed roles in my company so no longer have to travel inordinate distances.

I am going to Westport Conneticut (sic)in March to see a mate who has moved out there. Not sure we will be able to get up to Boston (wifey wants to shop in New York) so will see what will happen.

[Gryphin]

You are all barking mad and weird to boot.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Then you fit right in Growltigga.

Let the wife go shopping in New York. You come to Boston.

[Growltigger]

Geo, that is libel.

At least us Europeans can get to drive faster than 55 mph and not look horrified when the speedometer reaches 75 mph.

Every time I pick up members of the American clan from the airport, I love to speed a little bit just to see the looks of horror on their wittle faces!! hee hee hee

As to whether we drive on the right side of the road or not, of course it is the right side of the road you eejyut!

Mac, why is it that any time Gryph and I start a discussion, you immediately go off in a frenzy of sordid mucky thoughts about whether it has any dirty connotations!!

Geo, I will probably be using American public transport to get from Conneticut to New York. I will therefore get to New York unless the public transport system is that cock eyed!

[Growltigger]

Gryphin, girls buying chaps presents (unless they are tasteful like Aston Martin DB7's or Porsches) is the first blow on a downward spiral.

The Witch Queen of Angmar (aka the current Mrs Growltigga) bought me a lovely fitted designer shirt for Christmas. It was very nice, but Shelob decided that actually, it would look much better if I lost some weight to really show it off.

THe result, she has put me on a major league diet for the New Year. She has also decided that I drink too much and therefore, giving that up for January (at the least she says) would help me lose weight. In addition, she decided that my smoking was a bad idea (which it is I grant you), and I therefore should give that up.

The net result is that I am on a heavy weight diet, am on the wagon (and stapled on so I cannot fall off it) and not smoking. I am currently experiencing mood swings ranging from suicidal to homocidal to hysterical, and am having cravings for really horrible things like pickled eggs (only way to get the taste of ryvita out of your mouth).

I also have to put up with a large poster of Aragorn on the fridge. I have been told that I cannot touch it upon pain of emasculation. And this from the fiend who tore down the poster of Giselle Bundchen I had in my den!!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

'diet is just die with a 't' at the end' - Garfield. may not be exact.

Growltigger, sounds like that Saturday morning club you mentioned might be less painful than domestic life. Maybe you can get the Witch KIng to wear leather? It might help.

Taz, tending bar, as always has an ear open for troublemakers.

He overhears:
What nest o' scalliwags is this?? Barkeep. A tankard o' grog!!

But he ignores the insult - after all the poor man has only one good eye! He even fills the bar order! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif


Next he hears:
Wench, more ale!

Well that obviously can't be directed at him...
...and is that a wooden leg he sees on the pirate? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Taz gives the ale to a FBW to be delivered to the rather rude customer.


Taz can't believe his ears when the customer next says:
In fact, that barkeep over thar reminds me o' me second wife.

Bad eye or not, Taz decides that even a pirate cripple must learn SOME manners! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Looking around quickly, Taz spots a ship-in-a-bottle and grabs it off the shelf. Taking his all-purpose ACME ray gun from beneath the bar, Taz then advances on the rude pirate.

Taz sets the ray gun to the shrink setting and fires on the pirate...

ZZZAAAAPPPPP!!!! Whoooshh!

The pirate is shrunken into a tiny minature of himself and is carefully placed on the ship-in-the-bottle.

Taz then pours the pirate's drink carefully into the bottle, setting the tiny ship afloat on its own little sea of ale.

Firmly corking the bottle shut, the Pirate-on-a-ship-in-a-bottle is placed on the bar for the education/entertainment of the other customers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

*Grins as he hears that Renegade eventually spoke aloud the Word You Shall Not Mention* Perhaps it was a bad idea my courageous friend, for *they* were waiting for someone to tell the Word. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go back to my little corner of the bar to watch for the rest of the scene. That will prove to be interesting! *Whistles innocently and goes back to his seat*

[Power Man]

The patrons at the Bar and Grill don't have to wait too long. The "M" word has been spoken!!

Suddenly a large brown cloud forms over Renegade 13's head. A strong earthy smell fills the bar.

The cloud descends and covers Renegade 13. Suddenly he is covered with many small growths that well up from every part of his body. Within seconds he is covered in many different types of MUSHer -- FUNGUS.

Yes folks there is a Fungus amongst Us.

Renegade 13 starts running around the Bar screaming for help, and flinging bits if "stuff" everywhere.
Taz, seeing a chance to help out, and restock his food stuffs, knocks Renegade to the floor, grabs a large knife and starts cutting away the various growths.

Taz says, "These will go great with fried Tribble wings. I will keep the funny looking "magic" Musher-- Fungus ones for later experimentation."

Finally Taz splashes several rounds of Jack Daniels over Renegade.
Taz says, "There that ought to kill off the rest of the spores."

Renegade staggers toward the Rest room to wash up and get rid of his strong bozzie/earthy smell and flush the Last bits of "stuff" off his body.


Hi Folks. I just thought I would stop in for a quick bite and Pun er Run.

Taz I would like some Tribble Wings with Sautéed Fungus (non magic Please)

[Cipher7071]

In the meantime, back in the bottle...

"Yow!!!....raggin', fraggin', paracotta, slaughta' on a farin' corin', slackin' man a".....screams the pirate as he's thrown into the sea of ale...splooooosh. He swims to the boat, scrambles on board, and glances furtively around...

"Great horny toads!! Wait'll I lay my hands on that varmint."

The pirate then snatches two sixguns from his waistband and begins blazing away with cartoon bullets in every direction. The bottle shatters, and the force of the explosion blows the pirate back up to his normal three-foot-six inches, with his unruly shock of fire-red hair and handlebar mustache. Still brandishing the sixguns, he leaps to his feet and says...

"I'm Seagoing Sam, the bloodthirstiest, shootemfirstiest, doggone worstiest buccaneer that's ever sailed the Spanish Main."

Then to the bartender...

"Why, you mangy, fang-toothed critter. I'll keelhaul ya fer this."

Stumbling out of the (very dirty) rest room, Renegade rubs his bleary eyes, and scratchs some hard-to-get-at fungus, and looks around the room, with rage in his eyes. Fixing his fiery glare on Kamog, he slowly advances on the cowardly creature.

"What the f**k was that? Run, run quickly, and pray I never catch you, or your flayed hide shall forever adorn my door."

Kamog scampers for the corner of the bar, whimpering.

"Umm, someone might wanna clean up that mess he left......I didn't think I'd scared him THAT bad."

"Barkeep, give me the rest of that Jack Daniels (ignore the fact that I'm underage http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) I think I need a drink after that experience."

"Oh, and by the way.....MUSHROOM!!....MUSHROOM!!....MUSHROOM!!"

[Kamog]

Well, this goes way back to the old old cantina thread. How it originally started in the very beginning, I don't know because I wasn't around back then. It had something to do with the vegetable gods or something, and I think you were supposed to say 'onions' when you stepped into the cantina, otherwise something bad would happen to you. Maybe somebody else who was there in the beginning could explain it. I remember Fyron putting in his sig, "when in the cantina, Fyron says onions" or something like that.

For some reason that I don't understand, somehow the rule mutated so that now when you say onions, a big pile of onions falls from the ceiling and buries the person who said it. This was the rule in two or three of the cantina threads that came after. It became a sort of traditional thing. The exact effect of saying the word may vary from cantina to cantina.

Well, with this latest Version of the cantina, the magic word has changed to the m-word, with new consequences. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[mac5732]

The wizen old one, looks up as he hears the "O" word mentioned in the sanctum of sanctums, he nervously looks around and immediatly moves his old carcass under the table and nervously watches the area around Kamog.

Kamog who is renditioning to Renegade about various vegtibles has unwittingly mentioned the not to mention "O" word, as he continues to discuss his position, a loud rumbling is heard and the bar shakes to its very foundation. The roof opens up and a gigantic "ONION" descends into the depths of the Bar and Grill, right over Kamog's shaking frame, he looks up, and with that movement the giant ONION opens wide, descending and engulfing Kamog within its fiery inniards, its opening closes and it begins its ascent up thru the roof to what hideious garden only vegtibles know taking Kamog with it.......... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif


There are certain words that are not to be spoken of lightly within the confines of these establishments if you do its at your own risk ..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Narratio]

Enter Narratio.

"Just saw a flying Onion outside! no number plates on it OR FAA ID numbers. Somebody is gonna' be in big trouble! Bartender, I'll have a beer and a shot...

Forget about the shot, I'll just lick Renegade dry."

[Taz-in-Space]

"I'm Seagoing Sam, the bloodthirstiest, shootemfirstiest, doggone worstiest buccaneer that's ever sailed the Spanish Main."

"Why, you mangy, fang-toothed critter. I'll keelhaul ya fer this." <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Taz looks around at the newly freed and regrown pirate. His massive face lights up and he shows off the mentioned 8 inch Fangs.

"Why didn't you say that you were THAT Sam! Why any enemy of that 'Bugs' rabbit is a friend of mine!!"

With that said, Taz grabs Sam's hand and proceeds to shake it. VERY enthusiastic!
After a few moments Taz places a now slightly over-shaken Sam on the plushest Bar Seat available and gives him a giant-sized mug of the best Ale on Taz's tab.!
"Just a minute Sam - I have to tend the bar some."

Taz quickly fills Renegade's order, get a cold one for Mac(to settle his nerves!), and places a large display of Fungus Remover where the bar patrons can have easy access to it.

"OK, Sam old pal, where were we?..."

[Kamog]

Oh, no! How could I have been so dumb! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

As the big flying vegetable zips erratically across the sky, Kamog is brutally battered around against the interior walls. He desperately tries to hold onto something, but alas, the walls are smoothly curved. Kamog's eyes start watering from the foul vapors oozing from the moist inner surfaces, and to make matters worth, it's getting harder and harder to breathe. In desperation, he claws ineffectually at the walls.

Help! Somebody shoot this thing down, or something! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

[Taz-in-Space]

Just as he was about to continue his conversation with Sam, Taz is distracted by Kamog's shouts...

'Well he is a regular customer' Thinks Taz

Taking the Slicer-dicer machine from the kitchen, Taz attaches it to a rocket and shoots it off to the distressed bar patron.

There you go Kamog; and could you get me some 'O' Rings to go with the Tribble Wings?
Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Kamog]

Thank you, Taz! I was in quite a predicament! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

With a loud thud, the vegetable hits the ground, splitting up into hundreds of O-shaped slices. Standing in the middle is the bruised and beaten-up Kamog, miraculously untouched by the sharp slicer-dicer blades.

Kamog takes the rings, stacks them up neatly, and carries the pile to the kitchen.

[Growltigger]

Hmmm, the tuxedo clad, 12 inch fanged, hugely clawed Growltigga ponders on the re-emergence of the evil O and M words.

I wonder if this will work for other things.

Standing in the middle of the floor, Growltigga looks hopefully up at the ceiling and shouts "cheerleaders".

Nothing happens.

He then shouts, "dancing girls". Nothing happens.

He then shouts, "pole dancers".

The cantina shakes as a dozen moustachioed pantaloon clad blokes fall out of the ceiling, proceed to start up some daft looking polka, and proceed to chase the cantina patrons round the floor.

Taz, Sam, do something for cripes sake.

[primitive]

Hey, This is fun.

Let's try another word:

Morris Dancers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The primitive one returns to his silent corner, enjoying the look of panic on the ferocious felines face when a large troup of Morris Dancers drops from the ceiling.

[Growltigger]

AARRGGGHHHHHH, Growltigga reaches behind the bar, and grabs out his trusty saw toothed scimitar, and lays into the bearded folksy prancing mincing handerchief be-decked sad old tosspots with a will.

Pig's bladders, handerchiefs, intestines, blood and severed heads and silly straw bonnets are sprayed all over the cantina as the great kat does unto those bloody morris dancers what the sodomites did to each other, but this time with a 4 foot long saw toothed evil looking scimitar...

AHH ARRHH AHH AHHH AHH finally, the Last morris dancer is disembowelled, decapitated and shredded, the cat stands in the middle of a gory pile of innards and is sprayed in blood.

Next?

[primitive]

Tracing the rune of protection with his index finger on his Rusty (yet pointy) Spear™, Primitive goes again:

Invuln…., Invoulne…, Invulnra…., Eh: Really hard to kill Morris Dancers.

[Growltigger]

More of the wretched beardy weirdy failed social worker/mathmaticians fall from the ceiling.

Tigga lays into them again with his sword, the end result is the same, it just takes longer.

THe pile of gore gets bigger, but now it is topped off by a knackered accordian wheezing out the Last notes of "Mrs Widgery's Lodger".

Hmmm thinks the kat, time to hunt Norwegians and see if I can stick that rusty (yet pointy) spear where the sun dont shine

Thar..."Maybe that'll learn ya to keep your big mouth shut," says Sam to the room, doing a quick cartoon-change out of the pirate costume, and donning his ten-gallon hat.

Forget about what I said a while ago, thar Taz.
Can't say I blame yuh fer not recognizin' me in that pirate getup. "Say, I like you, you're a good joe."

He swallows down about half the huge mug of ale in a single gulp, then rather loudly breaks wind in another, smaller, brown cloud.

Yuh know, "pickins is mighty slim 'round here, hardly any reward for a day's work. Why, it's getting so a man can't earn a dishonest livin' no more."

Narratio, still sitting at bar while things descend to the usual level of chaos finishes his beer and signals for a refill.

He wonders what the rest of the floor show will bring. Greenpeace basket weavers? Ninja flower arrangers? Harikrishna acolytes presenting poisened flowers?

Rise of Nations is a great game, a lot like Empire Earth meets Age of Empires meets Risk.

[Puke]

Yeah, troopers was great. I cant remember the name of the site, think it was penny theater or something like that.. but it had all sorts of short fan films and movie parody stuff.

along with Troopers, they had Thumb Wars, which was a remake of starwars but with peoples thumbs as the actors.

[Cipher7071]

Oh brother. you've just reminded me of an old Mad Magazine parody of Star Trek from the sixties. I can't quite seem to remember the name of the strip, but it featured "Captain Quirk," and "Mr. Spook." It was pretty funny.

[General Woundwort]

The rock band The Firm once did a Trek spoof song, "Star Trekkin". It was hilarious. Every character from TOS had lines in it, my favorite being Kirk's...

"Ah, we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men!"

After his third giant mug of ale, Sam begins to get bored. Looking around the room, he narrowly eyes the newly-made statuary depiction of the 'Gryphin position.'

"Where in tar-nation did that con-sarn thing come from? Looks like some varmint skinnin' a mule."

Sam walks over to the composition and gives it a good kick, at which point the electrostatically held component particles fall into a not-so-neat heap on the floor, raising a puff of dust into the air. Then he dashes around the bar, hastily puts on an apron, grabs a huge push-broom, and sweeps the entire mess out the door. He comes back in, coughing and choking from the dust, and orders another mug of ale.

[Renegade 13]

Looking around the near empty bar, Renegade sees only Cipher cleaning up his little mess.

"Ah, what the heck. Pass me another drink, and put it on Cipher's tab. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif "

Cipher: "Hey Taz, how about an Alka Seltzer on the rocks?"

Then, pointing a thumb in Sam's direction, who has spent the night sleeping face-down into his ten gallon hat:

"It's getting where I can't take him anywhere any more. Even so, I think I agree with his taste in art."

[mac5732]

The older, wizen, illustious, Gentleman in the cornor, looks up from reading a research thesis on "The Symbiote relationship of a Wooly Bear in subjugation to his host wearing a Custer Hat" and notices Gryphin across the room, grinning most disgustingly evil, GT running around OOOKKing about some statue and Taz fixing what appears to be some type of selzer concoction. hmmm, now what is this all about he mumbles to himself, then goes back to continue his reading... the symbiote appears to become more fully encased in fur when the host.......

Plugging the remote into the wall, (for extra power) he pushes the Reconstruction button, A buzzing is heard and a statue in solid unbelievableium with Growltigger in the Gryphin Posistion with an FBW.

[Growltigger]

about 3 seconds before Growltigga comes charging out of the back office with his trusty cricket bat, and proceeds to bash Sam, Cipher and Gryphin repeatedly round their heads for having the temerity to demolish his statue.

Points the remote at the table cloth and pushes the rewind button. The table cloth returns to the table in "rewwind" fashion.

[Cipher7071]

In the meantime, Cipher finishes off the Alka Seltzer and looks over his shoulder.

"Ooh noo...not again. Taz, I think I need some coffee."

Then, glancing over at Sam: "Better make a large pot, I think we're going to need it."

Sam stirs and shifts on the barstool such that he is now sleeping on one ear. As he moves, yet another small cloud of cartoon flatulence erupts.

Cipher covers his nose. "Holy #%$!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Unfortunately. the latest sculpture has been placed too close to the stool where Sam is sleeping. The cloud of cartoon flatulence comes into contact with the unbelieveableium, slowly liquifying it. Cipher sighs.

One of my responsibilities at work is to coordinate and facilitate the borrowing of laptops by employees. Needless to say I check them out when they get back. Imagine my surprise when I found a pare of very nice woman’s undergarments that had clearly been stuffed into the carrying case at some point.
Question: What do I do?
1) Return them in an envelope to her
2) Throw them away
I have no idea.

A couple of friends are saying to just throw them away. I don't know. A matched pair of expensive lacy....

mac what do you think? Should I send them to you for your studies?

[tesco samoa]

well ask another female if their actually good undergarments... if so then return them if i had a good relationship with the person.... they are just under wear... If not toss them.


Personally I would toss them.... but have a good laugh along the way

[Gryphin]

ooooh, mac she's playing hard to get.

[Gryphin]

tesco thanks for the input.

Well they are expensive (from Victoriea's Secret), but then again she makes about 100k a year so... it is all relative.

As for my relationship with her. There is no question that she is the Senior Director and I am the tech and I had better not forget it.

As for the "good laugh". I have been since I opened the case. (I'm just glad noone else was there)

How about pretending you never noticed them, and leaving them in the laptop case. The next person who borrows the laptop can deal with it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Narratio]

The problem there is that the next person to use the laptop then thinks that the tech he took the laptop from put the aforementioned undies INTO the laptop case... for various reasons.

NOW we're talking embarressment! Man with ladies underwear etc, etc and the stories start.

[Gryphin]

Kamog I would love to do that but I am expected to check each system when it comes back and before it goes out to make sure the needed software is on it.

#21. When faced with a bazaar sexual situation at work that only involves you and one other person, denial is your only defense. It never happened.

My suggestion to you would be to simply dispose of them for she will never ask for them back, and if you ever tried to bring up the topic with her, you will embarass her and yourself.

It simply never happened. Denial is your best option. Although, Rule # 2 also applies.

#02. Cover thy own ***.

Document it, take a Digital picture before tossing them. Note your decision to toss them as being the best course of action as to avoid embarassing a fellow employ or causing possible undo work related sexual harrassment.

This brings in rule #1.

#01. ALWAY keep records!

Good luck.

Gryphin, there is yet another possibility that I don't believe anyone has addressed here. Have you considered that maybe the garment in question does not belong to whom you think it does, and that it was placed where you found it as a joke on you?

Thanks, it does seem that the consensus is going with throwing them out to avoid all kinds of issues.

Cipher These are toooo expensive to play game with. Also the laptop was handed to me directly but yes, that would be quite the joke. hmm, I should be careful.

[Gryphin]

I figured out what I'm going to do.
I put the laptop and contents in a locked file draw in my cube. The next time she asks for a laptop I will give that to her and apologise for not having check it out.
"Here is the same one you had Last time. I'm sorry I did not take a look at it. Just put it on a shelf and forgot it."

[Growltigger]

Gryphin, if this is a joke, I believe the poor girl is getting herself into too deep water. Waving lingerie at you is likely to unleash the elemental carnal maelstrom that is the Boston Sex Fiend.

I agree with you, give her the case back, apologise and say you havn't done anything with it since she returned it to her. You save face, and importantly, you give her an exit whereby she can save face.

I had a similar situation Last year. I have a rather nice leather chair in my office I brought from home. After one of the Christmas parties, one of my colleagues reported that they had seen my trainee and one of the office girls hard at it, on my chair, legs akimbo and lots of squelching noises.

I was told this next morning at a meeting, before I got into the office, and you can imagine that I really didnt feel like sitting down on that chair, it being probably sticky and with the young ladies bum imprints on it and all. I managed to get my secretary to get the cleaner to wipe it down, claiming I had split coffee on it.

The problem then was that in their amourous encounter, said trainee and femme had broken the chair. I managed to get it mended, but didnt say anything to the trainee other than when he asked me how it was broken, I said, "I dunno, strange but I guess someone must have boffed a hippo on it".

Said office girl is about 90kg, about 5' 3" in height and looks like Ram Man from Masters of the Universe

Ragnarok climbs out from under the pile of the ****** and mutters to himself "I could have swore that did not work in this new joint."

Ragnarok then goes to his ship and cleans himself up and prepares for the upcoming prank war.

A couple hours later Ragnarok walks back into the bar with his usual black trench coat flowing from his body. He walks up to RD and simple says "A job well done with that voice trick. I would have never thought of that one. Do tell me though, were you away for months and you came up with just that? Is that the best you have to offer? Surely not!"

Ragnarok begins to turn away and then he turns quickly back to RD and says "Oh! I almost forgot something." as he presses a button on his wrist. Suddenly with a cloud of smoke and a sound of *poof* RD finds himself naked and hanging upside down with a pack of wild monkeys looking longingly at him hanging from the top of the bar.

"They have been isolated from their mates for along time RD," says Ragnarok as he smirks evill, "for a very, long time."
The evil smirk on Ragnaroks face continues to grow as he listens to RD scream, wether from pleasure or from pain is to be decided.

[Raging Deadstar]

*Indeed Ragnarok has not seen RD for such a long time, otherwise he would know that those were not RD's screams. RD had prepared for this, and as such RD had rubbed the rope to generate Static Electricity, thusly shocking whatever infernal creature that came too close. When Ragnarok heard a thump he turned round only to See RD standing their fully clothed*

"Got to love Cybernetic Accesories!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

*RD pushed a few buttons on his built-in wristpad and then touched ragnarok, magnifying the static charge 100 fold. Ragnarok yelps in pain and promptly jumps through the roof into orbit from the shock...*

"Boy, I sure am glad I ran into the smuggler when I did to make this purchase. I knew this anti-grav belt would come in handy!"

Ragnarok is just hovering in mid air and slowly making his decent back to the ground and he presses a couple more buttons on his belt. Suddenly a bunch of seed looking devices come shooting out of Ragnaroks boots and start falling towards RD in the bar.

As Ragnarok gets closer to the ground and as the seeds continue to fall towards RD, Ragnarok shouts out "Hey RD! I would not suggest looking up right about now." But of course RD just cannot pass up that open invitation and he looks up. Ragnarok then takes his water container and tosses towards RD. The water hits the seedlings and those seeds turn into a handfull of 140389 megaton pianos.

The look on RDs face is priceless as he sees these huge objects coming at him. Before he had time to react the pianos land on him insuring a great deal of pain! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I Would like to Request the Following:
The Knights who Formally Said Ni!!
The British Conservative Party (Cannon Fodder http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )
A Legion of Naked Mole Rats armed with the most heinous weapons you can find! (Reason: The scottish, they bared thier backsides to scare the english forces in battle and technically still are an independant country! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )
And whatever you feel like bringing along http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

My ships draw closer with my forces, we will make this a thread to remember!!

And thanks for the advice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Timstone]

RD:
The only knights I found were The Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm". (http://www.vrinimi.com/~carroll/shrub.html)
I couldn't find the conservatives anywhere, they must have hiding for me and my rabid poodle.
Next were those nasty moles. Well I hate to get myself dirty with dirt, so I skipped those too.
And because I have a very sinister side, I brought along some friends from the amazon. A legion of cannibals (http://www.lehigh.edu/~ejg1/natimag/Harry.html).
How about that for defense? Happy RD?

[Raging Deadstar]

They will have to do Timstone, I will summon both the conservative party and legions of were-gerbils respectively by issuing fraud press releases about Immigration and such, for the were-gerbils an old alliance existed at one time amongst Art Students and them, they will be happy to fight along side us once more!

(I realise many of you are not as socially challenged as I being an Art Student, but who else in Society is insane enough to do this?)

EEwww... and art student!!!

Damn, I revealed myself... Doh! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Power Man]

As the awesome forces mass around the Bar a small light in the deep sub basement starts to blink.

As more lights start to blink it becomes just bright enough to see what appears to be the helm and weapons control station from the old Phong's Head star ship !! Yes that is right. Old GT never throws anything away!!

Raging Deadstars's ships arrive and hover ominously around the Bar.

With a loud HUMM the station becomes fully active.

With a few Crackles, Snaps, and Pops a computer voice announces; "DANGER DANGER DANGER Hostile forces detected " Initiating Automated Defense Plan PEE-3.

In an even deeper basement large relays close with a SNAP. Massive amounts of Power start to flow through long unused paths.

Just down the road from the Bar there is a small forest of bushy trees and scrubs. In the middle of the forest there is a medium-small hill. With a loud ZIPPP the hill splits down the middle and opens up.

Inside one sees two large Power Globes that are starting to pulse with energy. Between them is the Powerful Energy Emitter (PEE) tube. Yes this device that can be used to transport material and deposit it over vast distances is also a powerful Weapon !!

As the Power Builds the PEE tube extends and swells up into a large towering structure that rises up out of the bushy forest. The two Power Globes start to Throb and Pulse with pent up energy.
The computer voice reports;
"PEE tube full erect."
"Power Globes fully engorged."
"Targets selected. "

"DISCHARGE PEE TUBE !

With a series of shudders the PEE tube releases several clouds of small units. These are the dreaded SPecial Energy Release Missiles. These SPERM units though small, number in the millions. Their small warheads contain a powerful super DNAmite explosive. They each have a long tail that spins like a cartoon propeller to launch them at their targets.

The SPERM units lock onto RD's ships. They attack them from all sides. Millions of the units hit at the same time. They burrow though shields and armor and explode deep inside each ship. Each explosion breaks the ships into smaller and smaller parts. Soon all of RD's ships have been reduced to "bLasted spheres" of ruin.

The PEE tube shrinks and returns into the hill. The Energy Globes are now spent. With a loud ZIPP the hill top closes up.

Everyone in the Bar is shocked and awed at the display. All of the FBWs want to talk about it. All of the men just want to take a nap.

------------------------
Thanks RD, I've been waiting for a Long time to get some more use out of the PEE tube.

*RD Stands rallying the troops when suddenly a message comes over his com unit*

"Good News My lord, they took the bait, the decoys were completely destroyed, Indeed our troops have only just began to form into units outside!"

"How did you get them past the defences, i'm intrigued..."

"Taxi's sir, On power mans tab!"

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

"Ok, we obviously have some loyalists, grab General Woundwort and tie him up, maybe send those two FBW's with him, just because this is a revoloution we're not going to abandon Cantina Tradition!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

"Timstone, you are in charge of Perimeter defence, i want whoever activated the PEE tube device apprehended. It means little, i have suprise waiting..."

*A Warp Point flashes open above the planet the cantina resided on and a collossal Battlemoon warped out and took up orbit, the War point closing behind it. On Board Captain Atfield (i'm sure you all remember) starts to prep the monstrous vessel.*

[Power Man]

Since it was an automated response to the arrival of Your ships you can say that You activated the PEE tube.

You are lucky that this is an Older model PEE tube. It may take a bit to get it Up and ready to go again. I seem to recall when it was newer it could be used several times in a night. Now it takes a bit of effort to get another rise out of it.

Anyway, Keep Your Hands off other people's PEE tubes!!

[Atrocities]

WHAT IS THAT SMELL? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

[Renegade 13]

Having just finished the rest of Mac's pizza, (with the delicious addition of hot peppers, hot sauce, and some other unidentifiable substance) Renegade licks his lips, and watches the amazing spectacle of the PEE tube sinking back into its covering.

Suddenly, a quivering, shaking sensation grips his intestinal cavity. Running as if the devil himself were after him, Renegade realizes with a horrible sensation that he WILL NOT make it to the bathroom!!!

Scampering for the nearest corner (which just happens to be the table Mac is sitting at http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), Renegade hastily slides under the table, drops his clothing, and proceeds to discharge the Most Putrid Filthy Mess Ever Imagined....all over Mac's shoes and pants http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

After a few moments of utter misery, Renegade shakily rises up from under the table, grins at Mac and says:

"Good one, old man! Prepare yourself for my next onslaught." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[mac5732]

as the wiley and cagey old wizen one watches as his Mac clone is uncerimoneously dumped upon, He grins wickedly. Ahh, the trap and the bait worked, he smiles, then pushes the small red button on his movable table, then sits back to watch as hundreds of small mini mirco-cannabilistic robots drop out of the ceiling and drop upon the un clothed Renegade.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif They just love to clean up other peoples mess including those who made the mess in the lst place http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

just some ideas Mac

[Growltigger]

Hmmmm, thinks the mighty kat, I dont like the look of this. What with Timstone revealing his cross dressing transgressions, phallic PEE tubes (someone give that man therapy) and all this hi-tech violence. It is not just on. GT activates the technology dampening field.

When we fight this fight, we will do it mano et mano, with axes, swords, spears, chainsaws (they still work) and red hot poker hand cannon (completely non-technological).

None of this hi-tech tosh for me, I want to see the look on Raging Deadstar's face when I stick a red-hot poker up his bum, I want to see the agonised look in Timstone's face when a couple of killer mongoose douse him in Greek fire, I want to see Mac scurry under his table in terror when the mailed mongoose kataphraktoi charge into the cantina, I want to taste the fear, see the gore, feel the brains being splattered over me, I wanna see limbs flying through the air, I wanna see hear the shrieks of agony when RD tries the old Scottish "see my hairy ringpiece" trick and gets a red hot poker by way of recompense...

Oohh, is I feeling evil

Man GT, that sounds like the Democrat and Republican conventions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Cipher7071]

As things begin to get ugly, and considering the absence of his side-kick, with a slight shimmer, the cryptic one fades away into the fabric of cyberspace to observe the scene from a safe distance.

Meanwhile, out in the street, Sam is just crawling back out of his hat after the massive PEE tube discharge.

...

I want to see the look on Raging Deadstar's face when I stick a red-hot poker up his bum... I want to taste the fear...gore...brains splattered over me...limbs flying through the air...shrieks of agony... ...
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Anyone else sense a certain irony in that Last post?

*dogscoff resumes his enlightened meditation under a corner table (after re-inserting his absynthe drip)

[Raging Deadstar]

Nope Dogscoff, i can't at all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Cipher7071]

"irony" ... groan ... nothing like forcing a pun.

[Renegade 13]

While running for his life from the mini micro cannibalistic robots, Renegade suddenly has an idea. Stopping his headlong rush, he reaches behind himself, and pulls a tiny gadget from a hidden place (you don't want to ask where http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ), and pushes the bright blue button on the tip of the device. A few seconds later, and the miniature electromagnetic pulse generator creates a powerful (but low-ranged) EMP which immediately causes Mac's robots to die in their tracks, their electronic components damaged beyond recovery.

However, an unforeseen reaction to the EMP occured....every other electronic device carried by all the other patrons of the Cantina have been disabled.

"Oops." says Renegade, while backing away from the quickly forming angry mob of Cantina patrons.

Pointing at Mac, Renegade shouts out, "It was all HIS fault." and watches with satisfaction as the horrendously angry mob descends upon the now helpless Mac, and....well I'll leave it up to your imagination as to what they did to him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Pulling his clothing back on, the now satisfied Renegade strolls over to the bar, and watches the.....entertainment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Growltigger]

Cue loud blarting music, crashing of doors to the cantina kitchen, heavenly choirs of seraphim and cherubim, dancing girls, line dancing cowboys and Growltigga, clutching the red hot poker handcannon, backed up by the infintie hordes of Byzantine killer mongoose, clutching axes and wheeling the heavy artillery into position.....

I think the phrase commonly used is something along the lines of "come and have a go if you think your hard enough".

PS Dogscoff, glad someone (and an Englishman to boot) spotted the irony in my Last post. Nice to see educational standards are being maintained there on the south coast.

[dogscoff]

The pump on his absynthe drip now malfunctioning due to Renegade's EMP, dogscoff starts to turn green and hallucinates even more than usual.

Instead of the actual battle-ravaged catina before him, occupied by anthropomorphic animals, aliens, robots, clones, byzantine hordes and bloodthirsty killer mongeese, he sees a freakish psychotropic vision- a quiet, normal, civilised pub peopled by quiet, normal, civilised patrons.

Dogscoff runs screaming from the room...

[General Woundwort]

The battle lines appear to be drawn. From the vantage point of the corner booth, with a Czech Quelle on the table and a Nicaraguan Padron in hand, Woundwort kicks back and prepares for the spectacle of Growltigger decimating his overconfident enemies.

[Growltigger]

Growltigga issues side orders to his trusty T-Rex executive officer (anyone remember Barry??), send the 3rd cavalry wing out after Dogscoff with orders to terminate with extreme prejudice, or alternatively, tickle him.

Direct the 3rd light infantry battalion in the 5th legion to prepare fro an assault on Woundwort's position, no Yank is going to drink Czech beer and smoke dodgy cigars when we take the field.

The rest of you, form battle line, get them dancing cowboys out in front as a forlorn hope, and wait for the signal..

Someone calm down those evil ninja mutant shrimp

[General Woundwort]

Hrmph. Attempt to show some support for a guy, and look what happens. Oh well.

[Woundwort punches a few buttons on his wrist computer and vanishes.]

[Power Man]

As the technology dampening field spreads out a small ship appears outside the Bar.

Inside Power Man tries to restore his cloak.
" #$@@##% GT and his damping field. I've been de-Lurked!!" That field of his is like a wet blanket. I can't get Anything UP and Working !" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

I was just hoping to Lurk around and watch the action.
I better get ready to fight the Old Fashion Way.

Lets see what have in the cargo bay…

For me a nice set of Blue armor I got from the Knights who say "WEE".
Here is a nice slightly rusty Old Battle Ax from an old In-Law.

I have a large ACME CATapult that should take care of any Kats that get too close.
Oh, here is a spring loaded Special Sauces Pizza shooter for those who like to eat and fight.

As for the rest I think I will make up some two sided signs. One set I will put on the right with conservative party slogans and some on the left with Liberal slogans. On the other side of the signs will be a message to just saying "PARTY ON DUDES".
A ring of barbed wire and No Pest Strips should slow down any critters.
I think I will release my trained SSuper SSpecial SSPiting Cobrasss as a defense for those mongooses (mongeese??)

Oh yes here is some Air Wick for the SMELL.

Now lets see if I can get some Beer and a set of 3D glasses from David….

Let the PUNishment Begin!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

*RD Grabs runs over to primitive, tips him, grabs a baguette and lights it on fire.*

"Thanks for reminding me" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

*Both sides get ready to face off and RD sets 'the plan' into action.... hopefully he won't have to resort to the drastic measures required. Firstly a roar is heard as the sound more furrocious than a T-Rex bellows throughout the room. It's the sound of A FEMALE T-Rex, Barry is torn it would seem between loyalty and repopulating his race...*

*The sound of schreeching fills the air as the ranks of Growltiggers army began to scuttle in all directions. RD with the help of his allies has directed the full force of Country Music upon the Byzantine Hordes*

*The Not-so-heavy atillery is wheeled into position behind the cantina patrons, made from the remains of the old Cantinas of past. The Knights, Conservatives and Were gerbils all stand in front, Shrubbery, Manifestos and Claws all bared before the enemy.*

"As is my tradition i will fire a warning shot!" RD Shouts outloud.

*In orbit, away from the technology dampening field, the Deadstar battlemoon fires it's laser guided (and thorougly non american made http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) Cannon. A huge bLast of paint fires through the cantina skylight and hits the Patron of Cartoon Violence. Moments later Growltigger looks around as everyone looks at him very strangely. He checks his rather debonair appearence in the mirror only to find himself covered in the Welsh National Colours, including the red dragon on his chest and forehead...*

"Doesn't Look very English to me...." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

*It has begun* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

And Powerman, glad to have you on board. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Your PUNishment might just gives us the edge http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
