<font size=5>Good Morning, Wafflers!!</font size=5>

I'm back to work this fine morning and I just read the messages at the end of the previous thread. What can I say; you are the best! :D :D

Quick update on Charlotte - she's still hanging on, much to my amazement. She's always been extremely hardheaded, and I guess she's not about to stop now. Her poor body is just wasted away - she looks exactly like a concentration camp survivor, little more than skin and bones. All the painkillers keep her sleeping most of the time, but when she awakes she's still lucid. She still smiles and laughs through the pain and the medication. :cool: :cool:

I think I got all my CMAK turns out last night. Nevermind, I think I still owe you a CMBB turn. I'll get that out tonight. Let's see, what's happening in my games:

Lurkur has my remaining armor in a horrendous crossfire from Panthers on one side and Nashorns on the other. For some reason the Shermans and scout cars aren't handling it well at all.

Snarker and I have almost the entire Inferno map ablaze. My remaining flamethrowers are running on fumes, and we know flamethrowers always die before running out of ammunition. I suspect he's still got another attack left in him.

Becket, the gamey maggot, has more Australian armor than I imagined ever made it to the Sahara. I let him talk me into a midnight scenario where my Germans are very spread out, and he's attacking individual squads with up to a dozen armored cars and infantry units. I've never seen so many yellow lines radiating from a single unit. :mad:

The suave Teddy Windsor and I are engrossed in the Spaghetti Western scenario. I've made it to the big VL first, and now my Germans are digging in for the inevitable American artillery response. What will it be? 105 mm? 155 mm? 8"? Probably all of the above.

Soddball and I are continuing to play test his scenario. So far the only damage I'm certain that I've inflicted has been a KO'd Stuart. In the meantime his Americans are dropping artillery everywhere, which isn't making my infantry very happy. He also has cloaked tanks, which shoot up my armor while never being seen.

Keke has killed lots of German infantry with his uber-Americans and their Sherman and jeeps which can spot and target holes in the ground behind stone walls. The scattered remnants of my men seem to have him slowed for the time being. I did get his tank commander, who yelled so loudly that his parents probably heard him. Of course, he probably has artillery on the way, too.

Mike and his New Zealanders are making life miserable and short for my Germans. Of course, the Luftwaffe has done more than its share of killing my paratroopers, too. I sacrificed a lot of good men taking out antiaircraft guns, so naturally the Luftwaffe showed its gratitude by bombing my men!! GRARGHRARRGHRARG!! :mad: :mad:

Nevermind and I are mired in a swamp somewhere in the Soviet Union. So far, no Germans have dared show their faces to my uber-Soviets. I'm afraid that when they do appear my men will all break and run - immediately.

[Boo Radley]

Oh, Bouquet...where's my final turn? You know, the turn where I thoroughly defeat your little pixeltruppen?

[Keke]

I haven't received a turn from Bisquit for ages! :mad:

I've heard rumours that Roo Badley has defeated 3 of the most tactically challenged maggots. Is this true, and on what turn did Axe surrender? :D tongue.gif :mad:

[Boo Radley]

In the hierarchy of Stooge-dom, you could say I defeated characters on a level with Shemp, Joe Besser and Emil Sitka.
A dubious honor at best.
TAxed actually lasted well into the game, calling for a cease fire only after I had reduced all his StuGs and armored cars to molten slag and his troops either lay dying in the mud, running for the Fatherland or were looking in their German/English phrasebooks for the sentence, "Hey, Joe, I'll trade you my rifle for some gum."
Wise move on their parts.

Hey! We made the news!

British doctors revive maggot treatment

LONDON, England (Reuters) --Starting this month, British doctors will be able to prescribe maggots to patients with infected wounds, a hospital official said.

He said the state National Health Service had realized that maggots were a cheaper and more beneficial way of treating wounds than using conventional medicine.

Patients would be able to treat themselves at home and avoid the possibility of picking up a hospital infection.

Maggots have been used for centuries to rid wounds of decaying flesh, but after the discovery of antibiotics their use went into decline.

"People didn't like the thought of creepy-crawlies on their skin," said Tony Fowler, customer services manager at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, Wales.

"But now there is a renewed interest because of the problems caused by the over-use of antibiotics, and the NHS has seen the cost-effectiveness of maggots."

Research at the Princess of Wales Hospital confirmed that placing sterile maggots on wounds could make them heal faster than conventional medicine.

The creatures devour dead, infected tissue and kill off bacteria that could block the healing process without damaging surrounding tissue, since they cannot ingest healthy flesh.

Previously, patients could obtain sterile maggots only from certain hospitals and research centers.

I figure Snarker is sleeping it off right now, lying in a puddle of his own fluids on a bathroom floor somewhere, and I didn't want him to miss the fact that he's always in our hearts and in our thoughts, so I reproduce this from the Fiefdom General News thread:

Kitty Declares: Attack a Waffle and die. It's as simple as that, Sarge. *shrugs*
Sgt. Viljuri Declares: !!!
Seanachai Declares: Pour syrup on a Waffle, though, Viljuri, and it's like giving the morning a great big hug.
Seanachai Declares: Many's the time I've heard Snarker say that there's nothing he enjoys more than being showered with golden goodness.
dalem Declares: Sure that's SYRUP he's talking about there, Seanachai?
Kitty Declares: Don't be mean to Snarker when he's not here...oh go ahead. =)
Seanachai Declares: Well, he usually says 'sweet golden goodness', but I don't know if that's because he thinks its cool, and by that he means totally sweet, or if it's a taste thing. And with Snarker, even the taste aspect could be very, very subjective.
Kitty Declares: Go, dalem! Go, dalem! Go dalem! =)

[Dave H]

Hi Maggots! A friend sent me this e-mail, and I laughed so hard I wanted to share them with you. Some of these I had seen before, but almost all of them made me laugh out loud.

Analogies, Similes and Metaphors Found in High School Essays

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. (for Axe!)

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.

18. Even in his last years, Grandpappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

22. "Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her chest heaving like a college freshman on $1-a-beer night.

23. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

24. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

25. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

26. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

27. She was as easy as the TV Guide crossword.

28. Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH cleanser.

29. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

30. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.

Hope you enjoyed them.

Yes, Soddball, who jumps around just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease, Snarker and I have finished Inferno. There was great loss of life, and dozens of burning wrecks littering the battlefield. Most of the buildings in the town were on fire, too. It was a hard-earned victory for the Allies, who survived both the Axis and an amazingly inaccurate friendly bombardment directly on top of newly arrived reinforcements. Snarker made it really uncomfortable by attacking all over the map, from every direction. My biggest break was my infantry catching some of his armor in the narrow streets in town. :eek: :eek:

El Skunkito was one of those few gentlemen players. Funny, a good player, and fair. When I attacked him, he messaged me asking why.

His public tirades were quite amusing, too.He obviously doesn't know you like we do. :mad:

Yeah I saw that you couldn't get in Mike...

So with that info in mind I used you to gain a pretty big chunk of my prestige... :D

Almost every single turn you where in my game....

With espionage turns, I got anything between 2 and 35!!!!! prestige by choosing you.. I never once attacked you though. ;)
And I knew I wasn't harming anyone which I thought, (fool that I am).. could only do me good... :confused:

Shame though that there's a few people over there, that decided, (even though I kept well clear of their Fiefs).. to use up their hard earned prestige to make sure my population got nowhere near the required amount needed for the basilica.. My pop was being hit 2/3 times a turn.

I had my Archduchess and prestige for hours before the game actually ended..

Berli was telling me "Emma you could win this" !!

And had they not hit me constantly with espionage taking out over 20000 pop at a time then indeed I think I could have won something..

Still I know that I finished the game with ALL my prestige still there..
And even though I knew I didn't have a cat in hells chance of getting my pop back up I just carried on trying....

I didn't feel the need to lower myself to their level of pettiness just to say "Hey I don't like you" by using up my prestige just to make a point..

It upsets me to know that some people have so much venom and hatred inside them.. :(

I know I can at times "Lose my cool" verballly (when pushed) but thank God that when it really comes down to it.. I wouldn't hurt a fly intentionally... not for all for all the money in the world, not for all the prestige.... and certainly NOT TO WIN A BLOODY GAME!!! :eek:

So you see Stalin/s Organ played quite a big part in the game after all... Ironic eh? :rolleyes:

Axe, I can't find a scenario anything like the situation you wanted. Does anybody else know of a Canadian vs. German battle along the Gustav Line, with about 1,000 points? If so, please send it to Axe or me, so I won't be a gamey setup holder any more. :D :D :D

Queen YK2, the Fiefdom behavior you mentioned is far too typical. There are too many players who are very happy to throw away their own prestige (i.e. their only chance of winning) to spoil it for somebody else. Or maybe some of the real addicts are running several fiefs at a time. At this point nothing would come as much of a surprise. For a game it's gotten way too personal. So how about some friendly CMAK instead?

Oh, by the way, I attacked Mike's fief myself, plus spying on it pretty regularly, since I knew he couldn't do anything with it.

Hello maggots and ladies.

I'll be spotty at best with the turns until the weekend.

My uncle, Ryan Scarr, died Sunday night from pancreatic cancer at the age of 49.

He was a goldminer, like his father before him, for most of his life. He worked deep underground in the Macassa mine (http://www.nt.net/~klglover/macassa.html) in Kirkland Lake (http://www.town.kirklandlake.on.ca/), Ontario, where we were both born. (I was his first nephew).

In the 1990s the bottoming out of the price of gold meant it cost more to bring it out of the mine than it was worth so the mine was closed in 1999.

Being a life-long resident of Kirland Lake and an avid fisherman, Ryan was loathe to leave but he realized that he needed to do so if he wanted to work. (Kirkland Lake is fast becoming a ghost town).

So he packed his bags and headed to southern Ontario. He stayed with my parents in Barrie for six months while he looked for a permanent job, all the while working in construction because his fierce work ethic dictated that he refuse to go on unemployment.

His partner of 15 years and wife of five, Kelly, found a job as a legal clerk in Aurora and Ryan went back to school, at the age of 47, to upgrade his skills. It paid off and he landed a job as a physical plant technician at Pickering's nuclear plant. (http://www.opg.com/ops/N_pickering.asp)

He and Kelly moved to Bradford (where Paula and I were living at the time) and I would meet him for pints at the Winchester Arms Friday afternoons. It was in that time I got to really know him well. He and Kelly eventually built a house in Aurora and were looking to spending the rest of their lives together.

As you know, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer late last year. Paula and I saw him for the last time a week ago today and he was not the same man in body but he was in spirit, still joking when he had the strength.

He decided to die at home and, over the last five days, had his wife, four of his five sisters and his mother at his bedside. He was never alone in that time and his last words, which he could only mouth to Kelly Wednesday evening were, "I love you."

I have a friend in Halifax who once told me a saying he heard on the passing of someone in Cape Breton.

"Look on him long my son, for you'll not see his like again."

That was my uncle.

That was Ryan.

[Wallybob]

Geez, Axe, we're all sorry for your loss. Kindest wishes to you and Paula (and Kelly).

[_Axe_]

Thanks Wallybob. smile.gif
And thanks everyone for the kind words, thoughts and prayers over the last few months.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle, Axe, particularly at such a relaticely young age.

Axe, so sorry for your loss. You're truly fortunate that you were able to get to know your uncle. I have aunts and uncles and cousins still living who are little more than distant memories to me, and I know absolutely nothing about them. Death isn't the only separation that comes between people. Procrastination can separate us far more than death itself. :( :(

Kitty, so you've kicked the Fiefdom habit too? I saw I finished in fourth place by population, which was pretty good considering I skipped the last two days. There are too many egos wrapped up in it now. Now that we've gotten that particular monkey of our backs, how about some angry, TNT-chucking CMAK instead?

On second thought, nix that idea. He's an Australian, they haven't got round to developing language yet.

To Nevermind,

I was getting emails from everyone, but you, and then something happened which led me to believe there was a virus/ and an attack on my system. If you don't mind, send the turn again.

Please don't be testy about it, trying my best.

I had all my troops assualting Wallybob's remaining dozen or so in a trench on a hill. Mine were coming from three directions supported by two StuGs. The game was all but over.

One smart bomb later -- 39 casualties, one Stug's gun damaged, the other immobilized, the attack completely stopped in its tracks.

And I thought only Snarker could force me into a blind rage. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Tonight is purely CM night.

I've played about 15 turns (keep them coming) and been posting here. It's good for the spirit.

The funeral this morning was tough but excellent. Over 100 people showed up and I was asked to speak by Ryan's widow Kelly. My dad, who knew Ryan for 34 years, did the eulogy. In it, he told the story of the conversation Ryan had with him two weeks before his death when he asked dad to do the eulogy.

"I know they will cry so I want you to make 'em laugh."

And that's how the day's been. My eyes are swollen from crying but my cheeks also hurt from laughing.

Just as Ryan would have wanted. smile.gif

As far as title of address, once a Colonel, always a Colonel. Retired or not, his correct title is always Colonel (same thing wit Generals).
