What are you talking about?

Re: Report Coming
 

It looks like mlmbd has a little marketing savy... this is what is called in the Biz, "a teaser."

Re: Report Coming
 

Really? Thats a teaser? I had no idea. Woosh! Right over my head.

Re: Report Coming
 

Yes, Imperator Fyron, CombatSquirrel is correct. A teaser is used to tease ones subject with some fact or facts. Not all the facts, just enough to get someone interested. To wet their appetites, if you were. Hope that clears it up.

Oh, Imperator Fyron; I am sorry about the height thing!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

OK, It is here, THE REPORT! Check it out.

mlmbd,

I can't find the link to The Report.

I have logged in every half hour since 00:01 Zulu time on November 1st, had a group of dedicated friends huddled around my monitor to share the epoch-making moment with me, and even make a cheese ball to celebrate the event.

WHERE IS THE REPORT??!

Re: Report Coming
 

Stuff the report, I am more worried about what a "cheese ball" is

Q: How do you keep an Aggie in suspense?

Re: Report Coming
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">And this question from a man who probably relishes Spotted Dick and Bangers and Mash? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

GrowlTigga, a Cheese Ball is a mix of ground up cheeses, spices, food coloring, and whatnot (I usually throw in a hefty dose of Dark Rum). It is usually shaped after mixing into an orb, although for special occasions, it may be shaped as virtually anything .

Guests (because no one ever makes a Cheese Ball just for enjoying at home by themselves) gather round this Festive Creation and ritually spear and devour it with the provided crackers, breadsticks, and vegetable sticks. Many parties and gatherings are judged by quality and inventiveness of their Cheese Balls, and a purchased Cheese Ball can be a black-eye that may take years for a hostess to overcome.

As a rule, no one truly enjoys the texture and flavor of a Cheese Ball, but it is often the only food provided to a ravenous gathering, and must be sampled irregardless of personal preferences. Cheese Balls cannot be ordered at restaurants and are not welcome additions to a sit down meal. They are expected fixtures at Cocktail Parties, Sporting Gatherings, and Office Shin-dings.

A good Cheese Ball is thankfully, gratefully, forgotten. A Bad Cheese Ball can be a memory that recurrently haunts one throughout a lifetime.

Re: Report Coming
 

CombatSquirrel, the cheese ball sounds like meatloaf, breakfast pizzas, quiche and all those panty-waister food types that should be left to congeal in a forgotten compost bin somewhere.

I do like bangers and mash, I also like toad in the hole, bubble and squeak, tripe and onions and sauerkraut. For what is it is worth, due to political correctness and as some people are apparently offended by the name, it is not called Spotted Dick anymore, but Spotted Richard. Likewise, Coq au Vin is now called "Chicken in Wine" and as for the traditional Kentish dish of Muff Pie (being beef in beer in a pie), you just dont see that served anywhere under that name anymore http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Report Coming
 

Perhaps the report is located with the KODOS mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ...
