And reguarding creating a "Monster". I put my answer in a different thread here.

OK, I did NOT need that image!

If you want an "anatomically possible" Version, just think about the old ice-breaker party-type game where everyone stands in a circle, facing clockwise (or counterclockwise, as long as everyone conforms to the decision), and then sit down on each other's laps...

Or was that too graphic for y'all?

Just to bring the discussion back out of the gutter for a moment, the only other forum I posted to regularly was fine for a year or so, and then degenerated into an ugly flame-spewing beast with multiple board-crashing hacks per day, many of which ended up being blamed on either myself or my SO, mainly because we met via said forum, and the other regulars got upset and began personally attacking us. So, obviously we were deemed the only ones with a motive to crash the board. Anyway, the situation got so out of hand that eventually the forum was moved to a much more restricted setting (according to a friend of ours who continued to monitor the board from time to time). Not certain if that board still exists...

why bring the conversation out of the gutter?? it was just getting interesting

I still havn't gone home yet - it is 12.30 and I have now been in the office for 52 hours - cue sympathy bid

I think we finally got to a conclusion on what 'circle of wagons' means at about 04.30 this morning - unfortunately, given the high standards of this forum, I cannot reveal our conclusion to anyone who is not over 85 or preferably dead. Let it just be said that I am going to be nervous around marmite from now on and have some rather ambivalent feelings about cucumbers

DirectorTsaarx - I think you have summed up the millennium internet experience - teddy bears at dawn as we would say over here, a lot of people throwing toys out of prams - children, the whole lot of them

At least this site does seem to be frequented by people who are military history and science fiction buffs, are good natured, are interesting and at the end of the day, just want to talk about a shared passion ie SE

As Mac said, I dont think thre is anyone posting on this site I wouldn't be happy to have a glass of chablis with, even Puke!

hour 52 nice.... does that mean the N.A. People cannot take over the board for 8 hours

Just joking.....

If you want to read up on some good circle the wagons tatics,,,,, check out the Mexican USA war,, or go watch a John Wayne movie.

ANd I hope you finish up soon.

actually, I have calculated it and it is hour 56.25 now although my boss says it doesn't count now because I got an hour's power nap since my Last post

who are the N A people? do you mean north american? I think you lot hog the board enough dont you already given that the majority of forumites are north american types!

Just joking back Mr B.....

If anyone wants to read up on good wagon tactics, I suggest any good book on Germano-Roman wars - lots of good stuff about chaining wheels together, that sort of thing

2 more hours then I am going home to have a love affair with my duvet
