Hey, Ron,

What did you do to tick off UPS?

Ron Saueracker · Post by **Ron Saueracker** » Sat May 25, 2002 8:27 am

All I know is that sometimes the post office fails to believe that a name like mine is real and they return it. Seriously, this has happenned.:rolleyes:

How's this for a rank and surname....Sgt Sockfucker (no offense);)

Believe me, the imaginative little #### paid for that!

No comment, I Christie, sir. Officers need not know all that goes on behind the mess tent.

Thompson turned out to be a good recce tech!!!

Ron, what the heck does your name mean anyway?

Sour Field ?

What are you growing?

IChristie · Post by **IChristie** » Sat May 25, 2002 4:18 pm

According to Gnr Thompson it means
"Man who has intercourse with (or in his?) Stockings"

And Ron,

a) Who says we didn't know
b) Who says we weren't happy somebody finally got around to sorting the lippy little bugger out

p.s. This question sounds like an excellent topic for a poll imho :p

According to the Babel Fish translator, "acker" means field.

Where in the world did we come up with "one who has intercourse with his socks" ?

LOL

Apparently, my german ancestors tried to grow grain on a rocky claybelt. My older brothers, when posted to Germany, did some family tree research. We were serfs. Our crest has a bushel of grain (barley I hope) over which two arms were crossed. One arm is bare with a pitch fork, the other is adorned in plate mail and is holding a sword. To me, this could mean two things. we either were farmer warriors or were beaten senseless to increase productivity.

Anyone got an aspirin? I'm all out.

Okay well that explains your "Sour Field" name. It would be even better related to your name if your family was growing barley for the purpose of brewing beer. Or maybe they were using the claybelt to "grow" yeast. Now, that would be real sour.

There can be little question that your family were the ones holding the pitchforks AND the swords. Otherwise they wouldn't have a crest at all.

Hey Ron, do you at least have the manual? I've sent that to a few people already who are going through Undefined Pretraumatic Syndrome.

I'll send it to ya if ya want.

Ron,

Sorry to hear that you have not received your copy yet.

I did what Matrix suggested and ordered from Military Hobbies in Markham. I am now playing UV and I can tell you that you are missing something.

Get all of your outstanding work around the house down this weekend, you will not have time when you get the game.

Also, go out and stock up on pints and food or else you might starve to death.

Alternatively, find someone who does have a copy, shoot them, and take it.

Hi Ron

What is your MTX# I want to look into this myself.

David

Ron Saueracker · Post by **Ron Saueracker** » Sun May 26, 2002 4:19 am

My # is MTX53953. Thanks David. The last time I ordered from Matrix, Watchtower showed up in 2-3 days max. Seems kinda strange, to me. Sorry for whining but I am looking forward to this puppy.

I am starting to think something is wrong. The warehouse is closed until Tuesday but I have them set to find out what is wrong if anything. If its lost they will be shipping out a new one via Air. I will get back to you once I know more.

Hey Ron,

I know how you feel man......I rang the local Aussie supplier on Wendsday and they said that all the ordered games were being mailed either that day or the next......good says me.....it will be here on Friday, so I clear my decks, warn the wife that she will not be seeing me all weekend, and stock-up on food and drink. Well I get home Friday night....and guess what....no frigging game!

So once again I have to spend the weekend playing the poormans version of UV (reading the AARs)
