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.

Ah yaeh, bloody typical. I have not slandered the bunny in ages and yet he decides to completely ignore my musical contribution to the thread.

Of course you know...

...this means war.!!!!

Music isn't my "thing" as you well know, you inebriated shamrock-chewer! I have no idea why you posted that, or where it comes from. It mentions "Vegemite" true, but considering the fact that "Kraft" has been owned by the US for many years (if I recall correctly), I fail to appreciate its inclusion. Enlighten me. I can wait...

Strange to use "Men at Work"'s song, Land Down Under

Noo Dwork Daily Noos

Chimaera Decides To Change Spots
by- Beulah "I am Woman" Bundaberg
Melbourne


In an odd and yet typically bizarre change of course, the notorious Esquilax announced its intention to change its ways with women.

In a move that most have interpreted to be sarcasm, the Melbourne Mutant has stated that it clearly needs to change its behavior to conform more closely to the stereotype of male behavior that it claims to have been bludgeoned with by women not only whom it has associated with in real life but on the internet as well.

"I've had it with these broad generalized statements about men with which I then personally must take umbrage. Why do all these broad and general statements about men get directed at me? So be it then. I shall become the boorish lout that these over generalized comments say that I am ... if I take it personally, that is, and I do!."

When this reporter asked in follow-up how it comes to pass that a chimaera, namely a rabbit headed horse, must identify with human males, she was greeted with a snorffle. Esquilax explained that matters involving its personal privacy need to remain private.

AELK declined to be interviewed for this article.

Well you could interpret my statement that way Beulah, but who can say? The ways of the Hare-horse are mysterious, and the sometimes whimsical nature of the beast can lead to many unexpected developments. Indeed, was my statement designed to portray biting sarcasm, or am I looking into developing my inner persona in order to more effectively associate with the opposite gender? Or perhaps the rabbit is looking into taking on board some of the more charming male behaviours including: "footy", beer, modern music, belching, conversations about cars and other "boys' toys" and the popular male activity of male chauvinism. Yes, it is truly a mystery. Or is it? I mean, all men are alike aren't they Elky?

Oh, and "snorffle" Indy? Classic .

@Esqui:

considering the fact that "Kraft" has been owned by the US for many years
Are you now telling me that the hAmerikans bought the tradition as well as the shares? With globalisation going the way it is everything is owned by the Americans, it does not change the fact that Vegimite is Arsetrailian. Shoorley you do not think that the Oirish own Guinness do you?

As for your request that I explain the use of that particular song I feel that as you are a self confessed heathen with absolutely no interest let alone appreciation for the mucical arts that any such explaination for the inclusion of that timeless classic would be landing oversized but, still deaf, ears.

Agree on the "snorffle" though, nice work Indy.

Esquilaxitavia Hopper's Gazette

Toweled Tyrant Buries Head in Own Sand
by Bryant Flufftail
Noo Dworkia/Esquilaxistan

In a bewlidering act of cowardice, Tawakalna, the ex-Mullah of Esquilaxistan, has fled to allied country Noo Dworkia, instead of defending his position to the last breath (like a man!). Since he has fled the country, Rabbyteen was positioned as Governor of Esquilaxistan until further notice. The country has turned into something far different than the large sandbox it used to be. Trees have started to sprout along with with grass fields where a barren wasteland once was and Ginger Beer flows freely. The people of Esquilaxistan are better off too, and they have joyfully relinquished the chains of oppression put on them by their Dictatorious "Mullah".

Upon questioning a local he had this to say, "Before we were blessed by the arrival of Esquilax's forces we were being close to tortured here. Most of the men were forced to join the militia (a 24 hour job) or they were locked in cages and forced to memorize OS manuals. The women were almost always at the Grand Palace and made to serve that dastardly Towel Head against their will." *He takes a long siwig from a pintfull of ginger beer* "Now it is almost like a heaven on Earth here. The fountains are overflowing with Ginger Beer, we can speak whatever we wish or do whatever we want with no fear of penalty! Thank you Esquilax!!"

As for the false "Mullah", he is greedily lavishing himself with many pleasantries, by using his stolen wealth from the people of Esquilaxistan. He hires out women to do many unspeakable and vile acts (such as cleaning his turban!). He rides in fine Swiss limos wherver he needs to go, even if the destination is only afew feet away. He also went so far as to pay The Noo Dworkians to install a car ramp up to his 28th floor Double Deluxe sweet /w penthouse.

That reminds me AELK, where do you pick up all of these (largely) inaccurate anti-male slurs?


Your profile says that you are Australian. This suggests to me that my so-called slurs are largely accurate but sometimes, perhaps in your case, inaccurate.

Post Mon Oct 23, 2006 3:28 pm

Thank you Jaggy. There you go everyone, unequivocal evidence that Esquilaxistan is now a far better place. If the current trend continues, I would perhaps go so far as to name Esquilaxistan "The Happiest Place on Earth (Outside Esquilaxitavia)", however I would probably be sued for copyright infringement *sigh*.

Cloaky - Perhaps, but I wasn't arguing whether "Veg" is or is not a traditional condiment in Aus., but rather that it is no longer an Australian company. Like most Australian companies unfortunately *sigh*. As for your "music", I can live without knowing, especially considering the music and singers that you prefer, such as Patsy Cline! *Shudder*

AELK - That almost sounded like a compliment .

Fm: Amanda Personables, AGM

Subject: Sand

We wish to advise that your recent publicity piece on Mr. T-Towels Tawakalna is inaccurate and we demand a published correction.

The *sand* in question is natural white coral sand or, on the other side of the island, natural pink coral sand. In no way should our light and round grained sand be compared to the gritty and granular, off-whitish or light brownish matter that is trod upon by dromedaries or goats.

And as for reports that one of our honored guests sticks his head into our pristine round grained coral sand, I have canvassed our staff and none have witnessed this behavior.

Generally, Mr. Tawakalna seems to stay in his rooms rather than avail himself of our beaches. However, we do acknowledge that he has a rather powerful telescope mounted on a tripod on his lanai and it usually pointed in the general direction of the skies above our specially secluded nude beach. As far as *beaching* is concerned, he is seldom seen near, much less at the ocean's edge.

We expect to see a correction announced in your next edition.

Yours Truly,

AP

Trying to censor the Free Press... have you no shame, madam? Remember the golden rule of the great media empires; "Just because nobody saw it, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen". That is not to say of course, that the Gazette would stoop to such shady shenanigans, although it is not Esquilaxitavia's most respected publication. Would anyone care to hazard a guess at the most respected and trusted media output sourced from "Esquilaximedia Ltd"? And no, it is not "Eye on Esquilaxitavia"! Damn "infotainment" *grumble*.

the Free Press
Pah! There is no such thing, if there is not a political propaganda agenda behind the rags there is a capitalistic hold over the purse strings.

Anyway, I do not need any such "free press" to convince me that a six foot tall horse-hare with the head of a hare and the tail of a hare which drinks copious amounts of GB is to be annihilated from the face of our planet without debate (despite the 44 pages which suggest otherwise)for no other reason than it is fun...and a taxidermists dream come through...and fun.

A cry for female attention.

Post Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:34 am

methinks that as far as cries for attention go, 44 pages and nearly 900 posts of Esquilax-based nonsense are an indisputababel cry for Chimeroid attention. It must be a lonely life, down in that Burrow, leading Esquilaxitavia and it's occupied territories to a GB-fuelled apocalypse. Still, they do say it's lonely at the top, or the bottom, depending on where you are on the evolutionary ladder...

Jughead - and what exactly is wrong with remembering OS manuals, hmmmmm?
