Taw, you have entirely too much time on your hands.

true. I'm on holiday for 3 weeks and I have to do something apart from all the DIY and decorating Mrs Taw is making me do! And there's always time to taunt wabbits. It's a national sport in Tawakalnistan.

3 Weeks???

*Shakes head* luck stiff. Some people get all the breaks.

I guess its time to send my air..ermm Flight force that way for an invasion and change the vacation rules.

I must admit, my current employer does provide quite generous holiday entitlement, 26 days paid leave + Bank Holidays, with extra entitlement for tenure of service.

Air Force? The last foreign interlopers who sent airborne forces against our glorious Islamic People's Republic came to a very sticky end indeed; remember what happened to Finalday's vulture-men when they attempted to breach the steel ramparts of Tawakalnistan's defences manned by our brave mujahid *volunteers*


Some of the fowl invaders are still p.o.w's..

..although strictly speaking the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to poultry...

..and it's not like we don't have our own air-capable units these days! Last time all we had was a few moth-eaten hang gliders, but look how far we've come!

What with our new battlefield medical advances, such as cupping, and leeches, we're now a modern fighting force fit for the 15th Century. We aren't backward, you know.

As I recall, the vulture men drove the cowarding forces back. They couldn't stand the repeated attacks to the head.

Maybe I err, we can form an alliance with the Rabbits. A non-agression treaty if you will and over whelm your forces on the ground and in the air.

you truly err. Many have claimed alliance with the Dread Beast of the Burrow of Down-Under Dankness, only to be disappointed by his refusal to assist his minions. The Rabbit never reveals his true form. And always he gets others to fight his battles for him. Many have been called, few have been chosen. Only Jaggy now remains of his various alliances, and that's only because the poor child has been made physically dependent upon ginger-beer. His mum's ever so upset about it!

*Emerges from shadows* Bah! Old news. We all know of your mistreatment of rabbits (including the one that lives in your backyard), but ye should be careful; rabbits are far more dangerous foes than most humans realise. After all, you all know of the case of the UK's monster rabbit, also known as the Mephistophelean herbivore, an escaped Tawakalni POW driven mad by the Mullah's rabbit torture. In addition, we have all seen the shockingly violent video on "Youtube" called "giant rabbit attack" (I'm not posting a link, it may scar the young'uns ), which certainly proves that rabbits can be deadly foes. But it is not just armed might (only used for defence or in in defence), it is also science and art. For example, Esquilaxitavian scientists have been able to apply, in the real world, the benefits espoused in the best RPG traditions. Indeed, now the Rabbit-King's loyal subjects have been able to increase their poision resistance statistics, which one of the myriad benefits of GB. Ah yes, things are going well for Esquilaxitavia, for we have no need of brightly-coloured laptops and "DIY jobs". Bah, I say again. Bah!

As for my past allies, they are easily distracted by shiny objects and these mythical "real life issues" that so plague you humans, which explains why they keep vanishing. *Shrugs* What can you do? The Mullah would "sanction" such allies, but the benevolent Rabbit-King accepts their human frailties, for he understands (yet does not share) their imperfections. One day, they will come to see the Truth, and will sit around drinking GB and playing the "Falllout" series (before you say it, they run perfectly on Typhon Moolah) like the Rabbit-King himself. And when that day comes, all will be well.

Going back to school final days sale!

Now on special at Indy's One Stop Shopping Emporium and Armory:

The all in one vehicular powerplant and roadkill cooker, the V8 Griller-Master 5.4l.


Now also available with Lada adaptor kit.

Ah bless! "IT" lives, nothing like a bit of revived bunny hate to perk an old man up on a down day.

Nice grill indy, of course, I am sure those standard straight 4 heads would make a good wine rack after the refit.

Indeed, I suppose that you just can't keep a good thread down .

well we are heading towards this threads 2nd birthday...............
how sad are us lot?lol

i need one of those things where i live. i am right now using my brother inlaws coleman grill to cook up my roadkill specialties like skunk kabobs on a bed of goose dropings and i favorite rabbit and chipmonk stuff with or with out the fur its tasty.

Bah, Indy! Bah, I say! Your attempts to provide the Tawakalni with ye olde weapons (and rabbit-cooking devices) may be successful, but will be no match for the sheer power of rabbit-kind and its sheer diversity. Why? The time has come to reveal one of Esquilaxitavia's secret allies: Bucky O'Hare(1)! Indeed, Bucky and the crew of The Righteous Indignation (a great name and an expression I use at home frequently) will be powerful and loyal companions against the evil Tawakalnist forces (during slow periods of "The Toad War" of course). Ah yes, Jenny, Deadeye Duck and the crew... good stuff.

(1)I'm actually surprised that the old man has never mentioned Bucky, for he should be familiar with it being a fan of cartoons such as T&J. I myself was a fan of Bucky O'Hare many, many years ago and indeed, it has actually been almost 15 years since I saw the series. Hmm, I should really go and "find" some copies of the episodes. Ah, great stuff. Of course, few of you will have heard of the original comic or the show I'll wager, but you should at least remember the game.

EDIT: Add " 'Hare" (note the preceeding apostrophe) to the end of the Wiki URL if you wish to access it, as the link doesn't work properly.

A response to Taw's posts from this thread: Australia, The time that electronics (and rain) forgot.

*Emerges from shadows* Bah! That's clearly an image of an Esquilaxitavian official attempting to assist one of the oppressed people of Tawakalnistan when the country was liberated by the armies of the Rabbit-King. In any case, everyone knows that Taw is the evil one and exploits his people in order to line his own pockets. When has the Rabbit-King every exploited anyone? He offers the wonders of GB to all and sundry, and leaves it up to the individual to choose whether or not to follow the Path to Enlightenment.

It seems that now would be a good time to provide an update on Esquilaxitavia, and therefore I will do so. The latest headlines from Media d'Lapis...

--- BEGIN FEED ---

The Rabbit-King's loyal Chevalier continue to protect Esquilaxitavian interests and defend its people from the depredations of the evil Tawakalnists:



Esquilaxitavian designers continue to work on creating more games in the tradition of "Jazz Jackrabbit" and other rabbit-friendly games in order to counteract Tawakalnist propaganda:



Esquilaxitavian scientists continue to experiment with The Formula in order to continue to evolution of rabbits as a species. Our latest success? Mobile aerial shock troops:


--- END FEED ---

Yes, things are going well in Esquilaxitavia, despite the propaganda beamed out by "TawSat-1" (which is "rubbish" anyway), and I'll prove it:



See? Perfect harmony.

Finally, for those of you who are *still* wondering what the hell this whole thing is about, allow me to offer you an analogy that you can understand:
The evil Mullah of Tawkalnistan is on the left, while the Rabbit-King is on the right. The first, a laughable slapstick cliche`, and the right an eccentric yet lovable character with a penchant for disguises. Need I say more? *Returns to shadows*
