THE THREAD!!!

[Dixie]

Sometimes Mrs Dixie makes me smile with her random and/or inappropriate comments.  There was a documentary on TV a few days ago, Little People, Big World, about "the little people, you know the midgety ones". [8|]

Sorry threadsters, but you are all wrong. This piece of art is:

A searing indictment of domestic servitude in the eighteenth century

I would have thought that was patently obvious, now all we need are some hot gypsies thrown in [:D][;)]

Sorry Robert, but no one in here will take you seriously as an art critic unless you work in some "vis-a-vis" into your comments. [:'(]

Warspite1

My dear Grollub, apropos my interpretation of the aforementioned art work, I think it fair to say that - vis-a-vis the earlier comments - my definition was by far the most accurate in conveying the artist's innermost thought process; a process of hellish turmoil and angst, out of which, such a masterpiece was created. This work is truly the ultimate expression of the plight of servants in the Edwardian era, n'est-pas?

Or am I talking complete B******?

Hmmm ... now you have a point ... [:D]

In other news, Steel Wolves was shipped to me today. We shall see when it actually gets here...

I'm considering saving some cash for that one. I'm not sure when/if to let Mrs Dixie know though [:D]

Right after you've thoroughly cleaned up a yoghurt spill sounds like a good plan. [:'(]

Ouch CB, you cut me to the bone [:(] - we art critics are sensitive souls.

Awww....suck it up, ya' pansy! The TRULY outstanding critics regail in their critiques and the antipathy that it engenders amongst some reviewed artists.

And could lead to more bullets...[:'(]

I'm just a bit concerned that I'll start a game with someone who turns out to be a sociopath, a la whatever he's calling himself this week. I figure that if I can get a game with a Threadster I know that I'm getting a socially maladjusted individual [:D]

Speaking of which, he/she/it is already looking for another game [8|]

You know, I've been seriously contemplating starting a GC with this individual. I would, of course, construct any victory conditions with careful attention to turn around time and game continuity. For example, if there was an interruption in the game cycle of more than two weeks, it would be automatically be interpreted as a victory for my side.

We could restart again if he / she / it wished-with the same 'poison pill' for disengaging. It would let me pad my CG victory totals and stitch up my rep a treat. Alright-not that last bit, but I could pad my numbers vis-a-vis my THREAD postings.

Someone said today that the sky is grey in Kansas from the wildfire smoke in Arizona.  Anyone else in the Midwest seeing/hearing this?

Back when there were the massive fires in Yellowstone (early '90s or late'80s), there were a few days when somewhat thick smoke hit some cities on the East Coast (I was there, so I know it's factual). The weather was such that it came down from higher altitudes. It happens.

That is incredible.

Good afternoon. Windy in Kansas.  How is the rest of the world today?

Well, apparently the part of the world on one side of Kansas sucks today, and the part on the other side of Kansas blows today. [:D]

Aside from that, life is grand! [8D]

Good night friends [>:]

It it looks like a dog, smells like a dog, and barks like a dog, it is probably a dog..... I have the same feeling on this one, but I will keep my mouth shut. I have been wrong before.

Absolutely certain that it's him.

Agreed. Seems he found some victim though :-/

..... must..... warn..... victim.....

[:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

I think he has assumed a female identity to complain all the louder if people call him out. "They're mean and picking on me. I'm a girl!"

Anyone in here fancy a game? [:)]

Got plenty of gaming going, Dixie: Pride of Nations, EDtBtR, Defense Grid, Fable 3, Call of Duty multiplayer. Busy, busy, busy...

Looks like it [:D] I'm playing WitP AE, Cities XL, Football Manager, Red Orchestra, Silent War and some Battletech. I spent all that money on a PC and I use it to play boardgames [:D] Hopefully I'll manage to get some Blood Bowl and World War 1 into my near future.

Maybe we can hope that the "victim" is "hooking up" with Japan for a game, hoping he'll get to play with a girl. [:D]

Hey! I resemble that remark! [:D]

At least with a Threadster, there's no pretending. [:D]

Take my opponents for example. [:'(]

(And my team mate [:D])

And the wackitron typing this post. [:D]

Looks around for rubber chicken to hit Mike with...
