Hey Eskie, I''m huntin'' Wabbitsees!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

That's obvious: You're my Daft twin brother.

ID - Pah! Apparently you can't count either, you wine-soaked, Lada-dealing, clover-smoking, lime-green suit-wearing, foul-mouthed, inebriated hedonist! My limerick is in the form of 9,9,6,6,9. Count again! As for your other comment, you shouldn't say things like that; I sometimes feel perverse enough to actually do such things! In any case, I *could* disappear but, were I to do so, your life would be bereft of (practically) all meaning. Still, give it time. When things begin to wind down here, I will happily return to the shadows to recharge my energies.

As for you "Tors", I knew that you would once again crawl back into the light. When I have the leisure, I may have to craft a poem to put you back in your place. You attention-seeking, narcotic-consuming, caramel-coloured cad!

Some(1) con(2)cerns(3) were(4) expr(5)ess(6)ed(7),
And(1) des(2)pair(3) not(4) re(5)press(6)ed(7),

Not 6 and 6 but 7 and 7. Some and were on line one are single sounds even if vowels are separated from each other by consonants so they are single syllable in my opinion but I cannot see how you could count the rest as single syllable? I suppose you are slurring your words and saying "express'd" and "repress'd" hence re(5)press'd(6)? Perhaps I can give you that one.

As for your threat to leave,

When things begin to wind down here, I will happily return to the shadows to recharge my energies
What? When the place no longer exists you will stop posting? Wow there's a threat.

However,

You attention-seeking, narcotic-consuming, caramel-coloured cad!
Gotta agree with flopsey there, you only ever appear in order to seek attention for your self "Tors". If what Dafty implied is true however it would make more sense.

Daft Aprentice? hmmmmmm.

I am first and foremost a self-interested Capitalist with aspirations not of grandeur but of more lucre.

If that be Daft, then so be it.

Otherwise, I am too set in my ways to change all that much.

Ode to Lucrative Turn

Kerpling, kerplong, cha-ching, cha-ching
The sound of accumulation
Of monetary computation
Of coinage mint and coinage fair
To rise and mount above the fray
And worries and woes to keep at bay
With balms aplenty and joys so many
Purveyed and displayed in wondrouse ways
Emporium to the World

What are you on about Swiss? Since when have the words "expressed" and "repressed" had three syllables? Unless an accent is placed on the final "e" in a more Shakespearean pronunciation (i.e. expressèd), those terms have two syllables (unless you interpret the sound "st"/"sd" to possess two syllables which few people do). Maybe things are diff'r'nt ov'r th'r' in your part of th' world, but over here the terms are pronounced with two syllables. We can also consult a common internet-based source such as dictionary.com, which also identifies the word as bi-syllabic. I have nothing further at this time, M'lud .

As for "when things wind down", I was referrin' to this thread (among others), not the forum.

*Raises furry eyebrow* It certainly is; you two are making even less sense than usual. I'll take that to be evidence of my resounding victory in limerick-related syllabic analysis. *Shoots snooty glare at the two previous posters*

Well, what's up next? Probably more anti-Rabbitism and insults I imagine. I can handle that. Well, it's either that or Dafty will come up with an another obscure topic for discussion. I can handle that too. *Trots off*

Off topic: Is this the largest NON-sticky(ed) topic, on TLR?

Post Mon May 28, 2007 7:38 pm

I don't think so. *Narrows eyes and tries to look mysterious* It is said that, deep within the bowels of TLR's hidden archives, there exists a thread with more than 2,000 posts. Indeed, threads may exist within the archives that possess a number of posts that exceed even that lofty "achievement", but that has yet to be determined...

Post Mon May 28, 2007 11:18 pm

But.....but no-one has ever gone that deep before........there are stories of what hides in the subterannian bowels of TLR, there are threads in there that have grown so large that they have imploded forming black holes threads. Threads whose gravitational pull is so strong that a member will forever be stuck reading each post until the end of time as we know it. Some say that's what happened to Bargib, Tachyon and Electric Brain....others say they just got bored and left...But all ye beware of what lies beneath, threads that ripped the search function from it's rightful place at the top of the forum and crushed it into oblivion, rendering all who tread the dangerous grounds below unable to be found again beyond 60 days ago......wooooooooooooo.....

Please tell me that was not your edit...


Having said that, I have nothing more to say.

Me on the other hand, certifiably full of crap, always have something more to say.

2,000 posts? Pah! Shoore, full of spam perhaps. Yet how many threads could last that long and manage to stay on topic and doing it in rather large blocks of poetry? Eh? Eh? Eh! See. Huh! Huh?

Very true. Why the poetry alone makes this thread a "keeper". Ah yes, TLR has not known such graceful prose in many a year, which is a shame. Ah well, perhaps people will be inspired by our shining example and write somefink in 'ere, before the fread is locked and fings becom' pear-shaped, know wot I mean?

Musty - Indeed, there are some things that humans are not meant to know. Rabbits on the other hand, possess the evolved mental capacity (and capabilities) to fully appreciate such mysteries. Good old evolution!

Mee - Oy, that hurts, and turn off that damn light! Anyway, you will not be able to stop me, for I still have my army of loyal rabbit Chevalier, and you will have to defeat them before you have even the slightest hope of ruining my Master Plan. Yes, the Master Plan! What is it? All may be revealed... one day.
