Visitors' Comments and General Mishmash

I think I've heard this one before...but for the life of me can't recall how it goes...

[Wired*Nun]

The little fellow says, "I'm a leprechaun, don't ya know, and all of us leprechauns know the secret of getting such a large lady-pleaser, if yer be gettin' my meanin'."

[lotus]

*snicker* ladypleaser...this must be an older one.

[Wired*Nun]

The guy looking on (by the way, you can insert your favorite well-meaning slur here - when I heard it, it was Navy aviator) says, "I sure would like to know that secret"

The leprechaun says, "Well, you're not going to like it, but if you really want it, it's the only way."

[LynMars]

I think the slur used for Army jokes was Marine...sometimes Air Force...

[lotus]

must be a military thing...

[lotus]

I do so love it when people leap to conclusions after the fact...*points at Landon*

[Pygysys]

Don't you love it when you wake up, head downstairs and find a hose sticking out of your car's fuel tank... *Mutter-grumble* Am now awaiting the police and praying they didn't leech all that precious petrol. Very hard to deliver pizzas without fuel.

[LynMars]

I'd imagine it is rather difficult, yes...I use to have a lock on my gas cap. Handy, especially as my step-cousin and his friends liked to siphon gas at the time...

[Pygysys]

My poor 'Ben' is 17 years old, so if I really want to go out of my way, I could track down a cap that locks but given I have a house I can lock the car under, I think I'll just make sure to do that in future. It just really sucks as this off week for pays and I still have the 2 shifts of work left. Blah. It could be worse though, MisterBlaze just told me about the time some wankers stole his mother's new tyres. Now that's a lot worse.

[TreyKincaide]

Hey lotus, that's the player's fault. It's not really jumping to conclusions. Never hurts to consider poor alternatives and be ready for them--or try to be. I was actually working on something else and it just struck me. That's usually how my mind works. I'll wake up at 2 am and figure out something that I was wrestling with at work the day before.

Wow, I've never actually heard of someone's gas siphoned. My grandfather showed me how to do it once when he ran out of gas for his lawn mower, but that's odd.

[MisterBlaze]

Happiness is sitting in your bedroom with an air rifle popping pellets into someone trying to steal stuff off your mum's car. It's like playing that video game 'Silent Scope' only your victims scream more. They don't come back either. Evidently it's not a very nice thing to do but then again neither is stealing tyres so we're about even, I reckon

[LynMars]

*Adds MisterBlaze's post as a quote in her usual mIRC channel*

[MisterBlaze]

*Takes a small bow, does a little dance and in general entertains.

[Pygysys]

It's a common enough thing, especially if kids are after fuel for stolen cars or don't have enough pocket money to buy their own fuel for their own cars... plus there's also those who entertain themselves with good old fashioned petrol sniffing. Poor schmucks.

At least on the bright side of things, they got scared off before they took it all. Given I had 2/3's of a 52 litre tank and I still have over 1/4 left, I'm happy. I can work tonight afterall, but more importantly I can drive to the petrol station and top up if I need to.

This is why I always have a hidden cash reserve for emergencies... okay it's really the emergency vet fund for the cats, but it comes in handy.

[TreyKincaide]

Ack. Damn America and it's standard system. No comprehension of 52 litres.

[Pygysys]

I believe the equivalent is 14 gallons?

[Wired*Nun]

Imperial or US? Hahah. Trey, stealing gas in Europe is more common at the equivalent of $6 a gallon than at US prices.

And, as promised:

The Navy pilot says, "I'll do anything for one that big! The women will want me and the guys will envy me! Hell, some of the guys will want me too!"

The little guy says, "All right but we have to go in that stall there...and remember, you said 'anything'."

[lotus]

it is indeed about 14 US liquid gallons...13.752 give or take a few to be precise...

and Trey I understand about the whole thing about coming up with ideas post script, just I don't generally verbalize them for the GM

But in this game Dave encourages us to detail our characters' thought threads - hence, we include things just the way Trey did. It's a style thing.

[Wired*Nun]

So they go into the stall and the little guy climbs up on the seat and drops his pants and says, "Drop down that lovely flight suit, me boy, turn your back and I'll be havin' me way with ya."

no no I understand that. I just think I would have phrased it differently or something I'm not sure. I didn't mean to make such a big thing about it just that I thought it was funny that he would have this big plan and then completely deconstruct, very systematically, the same plan in the next post. It's like okay here's what I think we should do and now in my head here's all the reasons why it's a bad idea, but it's too late cause I already spit it out...oops.

[Wired*Nun]

So the aviator grits his teeth, drops his flight suit and the little fellow goes to town on him, grunting and groaning. "So, what is it yer do fer a livin' there, me bucko?" asks the small man.
