Apparently. Get yourself a "Gene Simmons KISS" outfit for the next time they come to visit. They ask them if they want to come in and discuss their religion while you perform a "sacrifice" (just get a roast or chicken to cut up for dinner). I bet they won't come to bother you any more after that @Tofu: age and maturity aren't perpetually linked; just look at yourself (j/k) Maturity is a "circle" and your age (it definitely depends on the person) determines your position on the "circle". When I finally reach immortallity, I will have completed the "circle" and be babeling like a baby once again. The circle is complete. Oh shit, I'm starting to babel now "Where's the sentry gun remote? There's another &%$^# Jehovah's Witness at the door!"

Another battletech fan! Woo! Long live the Dragon united under the banner of the Star League driving the clans into the dust Nice! Of course when I first played Mech Warrior, it was on terrain hex paper with cardboard cutouts on plastic bases. You got a mech sheet with weapons, ammo loads and armor, plus hit and damage tables. You needed a couple of d6's to play. Watch that heat buildup!! Ahh, the good ol' days of "lock-n-load"!

Yeah, I saw that in a cut scene too, I thought it was cool and "added" to the movie, but it ended up on the cutting room floor for the final release But I believe those were mini-guns, not 50 cals though. It's been quite awhile since I saw that version of the movie I would have to get the modified version of the sentry gun that's mounted on ATV's. That way I could use them to patrol the South 40; look out cattle rustlers!

What most people don't know is lynching is an art. The size and stretch of the rope, the weight of the ... convicted, and the counterweight all play an important part is a well executed hanging. Now, if the rope is not elastic enough, it could break (the injured convict is then, re-hanged) or rip the head off the convict (which is a mess to clean up). Same goes for the counterweight if it was too heavy (i.e. ripping the head off), but if it was too light ... the convict's neck wouldn't break quickly and nicely, and they would s-l-o-w-l-y suffocate. Truly an excuriatingly slow and painful death. Well, back in the day, a well respected convict would get a new rope for his hanging (that usually equated to a quick and humane death), otherwise the sheriff would "save some money" and use an old rope, which could "malfunction" so to speak Too bad most of the ol' Texan sheriffs are now at Boot Hill; they could give Saddam a proper hangin'

I was surfing through the net watching web cam's around the world. I hit upon a web cam at J's flat in London; here's what I saw http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7446/catsnipercc0.jpg

Have you considered Palpatine (as the Supreme Chancellor) in the Emperor's position (for the leadership bonus)? Or Anakin in (his rightful) Darth Vader's position. Since you have Dooku in Luke's position, he would try to capture both Anakin and Palpatine for the Separtists Grievious in Han's position sounds good; for Han's event with Bounty Hunters, you could change that to be a Jedi abduction team, and if they succeed they could bring him back to the Jedi Temple (aka Jabba's Palace). Just some suggestions Keep up the good work!

Very nice work indeed Who did you put in the "main" character slots for each side, and what are your "events" for Luke and Han (slots)? As for your previous sound questions, I would suggest you ask Antonious or ATA (AdmiralToguroAni, although he has disappeared for awhile now ). Good luck, it looks like it's coming along rather nicely PS: One piece of constructive criticism (and it's NOT on the TC), the site you chose to host your screenshots, cabinimage.com, is slower than molasses in January (during winter time). Not that it's your fault, but check out imageshack or photobucket for (what I think is) better performance. Just my two bits worth

The only thing I ever pay monthly is the SWR minimum monthly maintenance fee

After a couple of days, I would have put the patch on the other eye (a la "Captain Ron")

Well, I've thought about it plenty. Not about anybody else, but about me! Maybe I should leave some instructions in my will (with my username/password), and leave a "final post" so all of the members would know. (*** this is just a test ***) FINAL POST Dear fellow SWR members, ... (*** this concludes the test ***)

One option could be a feint; launch half the fighters and have them circle around a target just out of weapons range to draw off anti-fighter frigates and such. Then launch bombers and/or remaining fighters to engage Another could be a "fake retreat"; have your ships "turn around" to leave (like in the Rebellion tactical battles), but move at slow speed. When enemy fighters come in to pounce for that last shot before you leave (at least that's what they think), launch fighters and take them out Otherwise, there's the standard attack, retreat, etc.

I would say Vader would use the Force to stop the ball in mid air, and then let it drop just over the edge of the net. No one could "score" on the Dark Lord of the Serve

"Would you like fries with that, sir?" What's your job Rob?

Yeah, I saw the same thing on TV long ago, I think it was a double episode of The Six Million Dollar Man

There you go, Bigfoot exists. They moved and took LLF's mountains in the great migration just before 1920 You would have figured they would be easy to spot since they were taking whole mountains with them An obscure theory (generated by the Chupacabra people) is that Bigfoot fur has the same properties of an invisible cloak, thus hiding them in plain sight LOOK OUT ROB!! THERE'S A BIGFOOT BEHIND YOU!! Oh, nevermind, it's just a shadow ... from ... something
-
"Absolute power, corrupts absolutely" Well, I can (probably) say safely, Bigfoot doesn't live in Texas. Not that we wouldn't mind having him stay here, but it's probably too hot for him and I think all of the illegal aliens running around would creep him out. They sure don't do anything to make me feel secure

2 hour wait ... man, what speedy service! Do you know how "critical" broken collar bones are? It's simple ... they aren't! Average wait time for me was 5 hours! Doctor: Sorry it took so long. Does this hurt (* pokes & prods me *) Me: YES! Doctor: Well ... there's nothing we can really do but immobilize it. Put this sling on and you'll be ready to go in 6 to 8 weeks. Oh, and the soreness should diminish over the next day or two. NEXT! Don't even get me started on knee ligaments

psssst ... Wormie ... go wash your hands ... NOW! and at least keep your guard up when verbally fencing with Tofu (@Tofu: j/k ) And on a side note ... I'm a General! (again)
-
I've broken both of my collar bones. At different times, but ... both from playing (American) football. Missed out on two seasons That new safety equipment (shoulder pads) used now would have been a Godsend back in the day
-
(** shifts eyes, left then right **) Uh, Wormie; I notice you have 700+ posts and a rank of commodore ... how could you NOT know what game this site is for? Who are you, and what have you done to the real Wormie? Roland? Is that Ronald's distant Mexican cousin? If so, then it would be "Roland McDonaldos Great Tortilla Chip Scavenger Hunt".

That was from this past weekend's showing of BSG (Battlestar Galatica)! For those who didn't see the episode, the Galactica dropped from orbit (quite literally) launching Vipers. That was the Galatica burning through the atomsphere before "jumping" back to orbit.

I like my national neighbors.... to the north... screw the south.. I think you might want to ... re-phrase that statement The South is nice and gen-teal (gentle for those without a Texan accent). I think you really mean someone's farther south

ERROR! ERROR! Either the planet has shrank by a factor of 3 over the weekend, or someone needs to recalculate the circumference of the Earth. The diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles; circumference is diameter x pi (7,926 x 3.141593), hence 24,900 miles is the circumference.

He doesn't need any color Tofu, it's Mitth's hand maybe some color for the clothing to offset the hand (maybe ... white, as in an Imperial Grand Admiral's uniform ).
