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.

and what exactly is wrong with vacuum tubes? proven technology that does what it's supposed to, besides Id flogged me 144 gross of the dam' things so we have to use them somewhere.

of course those in the know will be aware that numbers were invented in Tawakalnistan, getting the population to use their hands and feet became a bit impractical once the level of daily executions starting getting too high. besides, we cut off a lot of hands and feet for crimes such as wearing a loud shirt in a built up area, possession of an offensive wife, walking on the cracks in the pavement etc.

and to deal with yet more wildly inaccurate claims from the Antipodean Hare and his cronies:- we do NOT use Apples of any ilk in Noo Tawakalnistan (because I insulted Steve Jobs once so he won't sell us Mac-minis) We use PCs but not with rubbish Microsoft o/s - we use Debian now, and a darn sight better it is as well. Goodbye Vindoze forever (and no need to speak to Indy's cheap and exploited labour force in Delhi)

and the latest activities of the foul Lapinary Corps, gleaned from the ether!

Major International Airport closed by Terror Hares!"

needless to say, I wasn't reading this thinking of the weeks of lurid comedy value I could get out of it! Off to Guantanamo with these menaces to (y)our free society, this plague that threatens to overturn (y)our basic freedoms! I'm off to Milan to "hare-condition" these furry pests with my trusty 7.62cal ventilation device....

I particularly like the bit about the hoppity vermin (ah it's been a long time since we used the 'v' word!) confusing the radar! that'll be those tin-foil hats their Master makes them wear in a foolish attempt to avoid detection by those brilliant Tawakalni satellites wot I did launch a while back. Why are the bunnies avoiding the radar IF they've got nothing to hide, as they claim? why are they disrupting international air traffic? I think we have a right to know (and then eat them)

"Plague"? Bah! It ain't no plague, fool! It's a migration. The "lapinary residents" (i.e. the hares) of Italia heard of the benevolent utopia that is Esquilaxitavia, and decided to travel to my domain for protection and in order to live the good life. Of course, hares aren't very good long distance swimmers, and therefore taking a plane from the closest airport was logical. Unfortunately, due to the treatment of hares of Milan and high carrot taxes (they can't even afford to manufacture GB over there!), the hares could not afford to travel as passengers on the "air coaches", and decided to smuggle themselves aboard. The old and infirm valiantly remained behind to confuse the pathetic humans and cause havoc in order that the weight of the hundreds of hares hiding in the bowels of the planes would remain unnoticed. Ah yes, truly an excellent deception. I think that answers all Taw's questions, except one; the radar. The simple reason is that emissions from radars have a close causal link to cancer and, rabbits and hares being health-conscious, avoiding the radar and partially blocking its emissions was logical.

Note: Some have said that the migration was encouraged due to the fact that the Rabbit-King was tired of being served gnocchi with formaggio despite requesting no parmesan, but that's just "crazy talk" .

Any gnocchi made by vermin is bound to redound in the bowels of the beast!

Formaggio smorgasborggio, admit it. The only cheese, oh harey horse, that you ken is Velveeta and / or agricultural surplus cheddar.

Bah! I eat cheese very rarely; I prefer GB. Damn lactose! You humans can have your milk, cheese, cream and associated products! I'm a soy chimaera, and proud of it! Mmm, soy milk. Chalky goodness!(1)

As for your "sale", a large calibre machine gun isn't going to be 100% effective against the rabbit hordes, because each rabbit is very fast, and attack from multiple directions. After all, it takes only one rabbit to sneak up behind the gunner and... *Makes throat-slitting gesture*

(1) Actually, I buy the good stuff that is only slightly greyish, and has no chalkiness or after-taste (and is GM-free... allegedly).

Aah, but behind every courageous gunner there is, Super Bunny Squisher (Tadaaa) \0/ Yay

my father used to cook a mean rabbit . says the recipe was passed down from his mother both are in a much better place now. rabbit tastes just like chicken.

Post Wed Jun 20, 2007 2:38 pm

More like Thai-Chicken, but less spicey.
And there ain't much meat on them bones either. I could eat a dozen and still feel hungry...

Post Wed Jun 20, 2007 2:40 pm
