This is getting serious. Urgh, your little scenario reminds me of a famous Clifton Cates quote: “I have only two men out of my company, and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire,and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left, and only a few on my right. Iwill hold.”~ Signed ~ 1st Lt. Clifton B. Cates USMC 19 July 1918 We got this, go get us some help.
Congratulations Ulrich, you have always been a fine gentleman and I am sure you'll be a fine trustee. Tommy, I don't know you as well as I do Ulrich, but my impressions of you have always been favorable. Congratulations and I am sure you too will be a splendid trustee. Now back to the perimeter to await Urgh's return with reinforcements!
urgh only wants my pistol because he figured out I'd be behind him as we go for help. I said I'd follow him and if he goes for reinforcements there forth I go too. Still don't have any bullets though. As for the whooping Indian call; "When I'm calling You-awa-you-awa-you"! Better run along now. Maybe not Nelson Eddy and Jennette McDonald, more like Dudley and Nell
Thank you much Bob! It is easy to act like a Gentleman while surounded by such nice Gents like you, belasar, rkline56 and many others! And a big thank you for taking the time to organize the PT Game and provide us with all your great information!
Panic over....Got as far as UN...they are sending 3 blue bereted Bangladeshis...Russia sending 2 sacks of rice....China sending its good wishes...Britain sending crate of tea to Boston for us to pick up...France sending us some merdre stuff...sounds tempting....French food mmmm....The relief column is on its way from Ireland as I speak...Tanks are being waterproofed for journey...Expect them anytime after 2020.....twenty past eight don't sound too bad...Greece sending us lot of unused kebabs...I've done my best lads...Look to the east...after sunset...you'll see me on a horse eating fish and chips and trying to push past the cowboys...Cowboys...says everything that does...I've managed to get cac to raise a strong protest on your..sorry our behalf...Slipdigit is quaking in his boots...he will when we organise...I'll be back as soon as I find me orse....It was here a while ago until Biak scared it...He wanted to ride bareback...I'm all for it..but I thought he meant the horse without a saddle....Form a line usmc....A58 form a circle....Me and Biak on way back soon...hold slips trusted cowboys a while longer then we'll hit em where it hurts...I have pictures of their wives...
Thanks for the kind words, folks. This is an inauspicious start for me. I have been offline since just before Jeff's post and just got his PM. Ah, well. As I understand the Trustee position, it involves all the responsibility of a Mod with none of the glamour or respect. That pretty much sums up every job I've ever had in a nutshell.
About time you showed up.... Urqh, USMC can't go left, he'll have to go right with me. We'll surround them that way. Oh, we're making a circle now I see. Time to make for the Alamo! Where are them Texicans when you need them....
Wow! Roger never thought that you are so lyric! I should award you for the Pulitzer price this year...
