Fabertong vs Speedy: The view from the Pole

[rtrapasso]

As per fabertong's request... i figure something in a minor key is appropriate (i will leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out the tune):

Aah, look at all the lonely penguins
Aah, look at all the lonely penguins

Fabertong’s penguins pick up the rubble on the field where the battle has been
End of the dream
Stare out the window, holding their guns that they keep in a rack by the door
What was it for?

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong ?

Fabertong penguin writing the words of a speach that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working: piling up gold bricks when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong?

Aah, look at all the lonely penguins
Aah, look at all the lonely penguins

Fabertong’s penguins fled from the scene and swam out to sea to escape
It won’t be the same
Fabertong penguin wiping the wine from his mouth as he straightens his cape
The leader one was saved

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong?

That's great, Robert. [:D]  You need to post it in Speedy's AAR too.

[niceguy2005]

When you have a chance, can you show some stats (you know how much I like stats [:D]) such as some stuff from the intel screen, etc.?

Stats will come....but not until the weekend as I'm V. busy at work .......although Speedy might get there first.....

Genius as always Bob.............[:D][:D][:D]..........[&o][&o][&o]

[fabertong]

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys..........and yes, I do apologise for the less than regular updating in the later months of the war.....there are only so many ways to say ....I'm being bombed...........

[Speedysteve]

Now this is weird. After seeing this topic on the AAR page for 2 years and not being able to look at it I am finally allowed to do so!
 
There are 40 pages for me to read[X(]
 
As i'm off skiing in 2 hours time it will have to wait until I return.
 
Just to say publically many thanks to Faber for a skilled and fair game. Always honest, dutiful and honourable. A real pleasure of a game and the AE re-match is just a little while away[:)]
 
Well played Brother Penguin[&o]

[cantona2]

Congratulations to both

[Yava]

Well, it's Beatles... The chorus goes "Ah, look at all the lonely people"... Can't remember the name of the song...

But you misspelled "speech"...

But you misspelled "speech"...

[:D] [:D]

Rather, my spell-checker did (sort of) - i kept looking at it thinking it didn't look right, but no matter which of the two spellings i put in (speach, speech), it kept telling me it was misspelled. [&:] [8|] [:D] - i decided to go with a straight declination of "speak"...

BTW - for anyone who HASN'T figured out the tune - it is "Eleanor Rigby" (by the Beatles)...

[DuckofTindalos]

Thaaat's the one...

[rtrapasso]

i seriously considered using the Kinks "Sunny Afternoon*", just because i love this lyric:

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her Ma and Pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty...

But, i figured not many people would know the tune... [:D]

(*a great "down on your luck" song)

[Mike Solli]

So, in AE will you guys keep the same sides or switch sides?

Very cool song...

March 19th 1945.......

Today, as the rain fell, I pulled on my best dress uniform and prepared myself to face what few followers I have remaining......15 or so trusted staff walked with me to the docks where a submarine(one of only 10 remaining) waited........Lacrimosa was there to greet me......and after some stoic farewells(the staff, not Lacrimosa)......we departed for a small un-named Island near the South Pole(but not too near)...

The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the penguins depart . . .

A whale of a game.

Life is a minestrone, served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagna, suspended in deep freeze
