I suppose I could make a joke about overstuffed gentiles......but I wont.

Good. You are showing wisdom at last!

Lemme guess, you'll somehow find a way to blame your overstuffed state on the chosen people.

Your people have nothing to do with it. I was saying that you were developing "class and good taste". Never mind.

What I've never 'gotten' is the recoil in horror with use of 'bloody' in Englishisms. I know that approximate equivalent here would be the F-bomb, but still. It's always struck me as an odd 'ultimate' epipthet.

Yeah, I got a couple of lectures on the improperness of the phrase. By a woman who then dropped the "f" bomb every other word.

Your wife?

No some big,fat , mean British battleaxe at King Alfred's college back when I went there. Some drivel about the "bloody hand of JC".

I still don't understand how we managed to make a game that pisses off fanboys on both sides. Don't think that's been done before...

Dont flatter yourself. The game is just pissing off people who cannot take the reality of having their asses handed to them in grave, contemplative silence.

That's why I listen to music whilest replaying turns. That way I can have my arse handed to me, but without the grave, contemplative silence. Maybe I can find a nice funeral dirge to listen to or something.

Albinoni's Adagio. See Galipoli for reference.

For complete depression you can choose Mahler's dead kid fest or Neil Young's Harvest. I can never make it through Harvest without starting to look for the razor blades.

Enough deep thoughts. Happy hour fu.

Loved Harvest, never even considered going for blades...On the Beach or Zuma?...another matter all together.

You know know as much as I do , except that I abbreviated to initials to avoid offending Christians. It was a weird conversation , and the only time I've ever been slapped by a woman. And as I don't slap women back , I did the next best thing. I decked her boyfriend who was standing there and up till that point had thought the whole thing to be incredibly funny.

No.

In other words you singlehandedly proved every stereotype well-bred English ladies have about boorish Yanks.

Perhaps. I never could stand a guy that has his girlfriend fight for him .

Besides , had I truly been a boorish Yank , I'd have decked her 1st!

And as much as I would have enjoyed it , I wasn't that boorish! And that weren't no "well bred-lady!".

I was gonna say that this is the 21st century, Steve. Women can be anything men can. They can be my colleagues and my boss. And if one struck me, she'd be picking herself up off of the floor, just like a man would be. Chivalry doesn't apply if a woman invokes physical violence to prove her point.

This was NOT the 21st century. This was the dark ages , 1983 to be precise. Pre-computer, pre-electricity. We didn't have running water or shoes. Just cave-men with weird senses of ethics!

Besides....she was biggers than me! Much, much bigger! (by weight , not volume!).
