TMP link Pardonnez-moi, Monsieur le'Editeur, but le Capitaine Danjou est un innocent veritable en cette "thread". Why single him out? |

I agree Allen. When I saw the original bleeped text I mentally supplied much more colorful language. When I saw what he actually said it produced a real "huh?" moment. |

Is this a Zola moment? Should I dash off a quick note to L'Aurore? |

Now is a golden opportunity to set a TMP record for DHing the most people from a single thread. I believe the record is 5, and is well within reach for this one. Zut! Alors!

That la Legion Etrangere has a song called 'here comes the sausage' has always bothered me slightly. Those long lonely nights in the desert, with only a camel for company… |

That's why they were La Legion Foreigne, The Strange Legion. |

Ahh, that's because technically you are supposed to ride the camel back to town and not, ahem, "ride" the camel in the desert.
Sorry, old FFL joke. I'll get me coat.

"mais" I had intended to write more fractured Franglish. Fortunately, it came out that way anyway! Allen |

It's peculiar how some topics on the convention board resemble an homage to Lord of the Flies. |

What *IS* it about this organisation that causes all this bitterness? I mean, how big is it? Because the only other organisation I know with this amount of arguing contained in it is the European Union. Is it worth billions of dollars or something? |

Katie, it's run by and for a bunch of nerdy blokes with an over-inflated sense of their own importance. What more do you need to know? |

it's run by and for a bunch of nerdy blokes with an over-inflated sense of their own importance. And at one point a $250,000 budget. Tailor made for drama. |

As PJ O'Rourke observed, "Giving money and power to the government is like giving whisky and car keys to teenage boys."
I expect to use that quote a lot in the near future, starting Monday. |

-Kle. The SCA does several things better in an outright comparison. I wouldn't have met my wife at a historical wargame convention. |
