@FD: Not sure you would want to wage war using SwissAir mate, the majority of the bomber fleet was autcionted to a used car dealer network for use as sales offices and the Top Gun squadron pilots are currently employed as Cocktail Barmen in the Esquilaxitavian GB Fountain Outlets we financed around page 55 or so.

@Equi: You still owe me for those same GB Outlest by the way. I am sure you recall when your furry friends marched (*hopped*) into Tawaklanastan we converted the Lada Retail Park to suit more bunnisque requirements?

@Indy: You say ise he says ize, goodness knows what the end will be, oh, I don't know where I'm at...

Taw - You're just jealous, old man (I'm going to call you that from now on ).

Swiss - Bah! Your deliverables weren't up to ISO or Esquilaxitavian standards, and therefore the contract was declared null and void.

@Hair Ball: Indeed, your standards were well specified back when we got the contract (on page 49)

ID - We have accepted your application to replace select real-estate in Esquilaxistan with selected cafes and eateries. Your business will of course, be tax-exempt for a period of six months in order to assist your fledgling business (all businesses under Our Glorious Monarchy are offered the same), however your businesses will be held to highest possible hygiene and quality standards. Inspectors will stop by randomly, as well as at set intervals. We have spoken! All Hail Grandis Lepus Rex-Regis !

As your later comments show, the questionable origin of some of our ingredients took second place to your demand that I call you "Your Majesty". Funny how it is only when I come looking for payment that you quibble over the particulars.

---

Swiss - The rapid growth of your business infrastructure is commendable, however you should refer to Us as "Sire", "My Lord", "Your Majesty", or " the Great Chimaera" rather than "Dear Lord". It has a rather religious flavour, and as you know we are not into that kind of thing.

Esqy: You wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit you on the tail. After all, I'M not the one living in a pile of dirt. I don't even live in a one-room apartment. My compound is exactly as I have described. The only thing that the mullah has provided was some the armaments. That's it. It took me years to build that bunker in secret. Do not test me, long-eared one. It's very easy to just dig a hole in the ground and live in it. But what I have done, is create the perfect fortress. Completely impenetrable, and self-sufficient, whereas yours is leaky and liable to collapse in the event of a truck passing by.

doesn't pay up on time like those honest Tawakalni folk, does he? when have we ever chiselled out on a deal?

Taw: Let me check my books. *checking books*...........*checking some more*......*rechecking books*....Nope. We've never chiselled out on a deal, you and I. You've got more honor than the Kingdom of Mustang, and the Esquilaxitavian Empire combined.

are those the books that the taxman gets to see, or are they the *real* books you hide under that loose floorboard next to the paraffin heater

*checks own books*

Yup! Taw, I have books, including several copies of "1001 Rabbit Recipies" if you would like I could fill a boot (or trunk for our "foreign" customers) full of these with your next consignment of Lada? Shoore, go for a Hilux and with the extra space you get all 12 volumes of "The Exterminator's Professional Guide Pest Control".


EDIT: Damn typo, can't leave it there for the bunny to hop on.

that's very true, Comrade Id; all spelling, punctuation, and grammar must be correct in every detail, so that the spelling-rabbitfuhrer will have no cause to go into one of his "hissy-fits" over a misplaced comma or semi-colon, or the use of the indefinite article rather than the definite article. Such a policy on our part will also ensure that the Great Chimaera will have to proof-read his posts ever more diligently, which will slow down his rate of posting, and in turn he will become frustrated, make more mistakes, and be right royally roasted for his recidivist writing.

Naturally, FD is exempt from such strictures, as is Wolfy

edit - dam! I missed out a personal pronoun!

Meh.

Not enough days left to cross over 2K.

.....


As we all know, however, the Eskweelunx upon occasion lapses into throes of errata from which he cannot recover and its own petardwise becomes foisted.

Taw: Those are the REAL books that I hide away. I'm not about to let that taxman bastard take more than he deserves.

Insurance Man: don't you mean "petardwize"

Petardwise - petard-wise.

The word suffix is "wise."

Not the same as "familarize" oh Mullahgatawnee.

Swiss - The Esquilaxitavian patrons took offence at your continued reference to the "Rabbit-God" as opposed to the Rabbit-King, and therefore it was incumbent upon me to alert you to this fact. Despite that, your lack of adherence to Esquilaxitavian or ISO standards still stands! In fact, you owe the royal treasury for the maintenance of your buildings and other (non tax-related) costs.

Mee - The Burrow may be underground, but it was renovated to include marble-flooring and other fashionable accouterments. Indeed, the only dirt in there is tracked in by guest sand Esquilaxitavian citizens. As for your "bunker", from whence came the funds to build it? I want the details, and I also demand the proof. After all, you are a newcomer to the War with no financial or sycophantic backing, so why should we believe you? Eh? Hmph!

Everyone currently posting - *Assumes French accent* Listen very carefully, I shall say zis only once... I am not a "grammar Nazi" when it comes to your posts, only my own. But still, if you would like to continue on this track please do so. I'll sit on my throne (that's what they call my chair at work (seriously)) and snorffle at your erroneous understanding of the Great Chimaera. Of course, who can truly understand his greatness? None of ye! *Shoots snooty glare at everyone*
