Ah. Well fortunately, I used information obtained from the “Rrrrrrummmmble!!!” thread and not the “Rrrrruuummmble!!!” thread, and therefore you have no case against me. :smiley:

Wow! I think we’re about to have a meta-rrrumble. It’s so hard to focus with all this gratuitous violence going on. I’m not sure whether to attack with my war pipes or my recipe for bad-assed goulash.

If everyone in your little rrruummmbbblle had not been fired, I would go off and join in support of Stout! (Even if he doesn’t exist.)

pulls out giant genetically and nuclear radioactivly enhanced guppy and swings it around in defence of… her friend

AAAAAAAAAIIIIEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!

is touched…but somewhat frightened that Sara memorized the contents of those Friend pages

Um, ChrisL’s defence invokes the principles of intellectual property.


Anyone wondering about the liberal application of the word intellectual?

:wink: Jef

PS I’ve been waiting for someone to start to Rhumba, personally.

We need a haiku rumble. Or a rumble haiku. When my daughter was a baby she used to wear these plastic diaper covers with ruffles called “rhumba pants”. I’m just rambling, or rumbling…

Fantastic !
The Rrumbler’s Digest on-line!

Avanutria, thank you for saving our precious time, but… ain’t you supposed to sort out your socks and whistles so as to make your backpack lighter?

Nonsense - the socks and the whistles are the priority items!

Besides, I don’t have a backpack yet, so it’s as light as it will ever be.

Well done Avanutria! Outstanding “Beth Notes”.

Do not go there Sage. For the sake of your sanity (and everyone else’s) never ask this question again.

OK…
Reminding to the politically unaware.

This thread is a report about a war by our hiking correspondent Avanutria (note: this a pseudonym; you understand we don’t break it, for her security in the battlefield).

So, here’s the first Whistlers War.
Officially because of some personal feud.
Practically for monopoly on whistle oil supplies.

It will remain chiffstorically known as the First great Whistle Oil War,

in short : WhOilWar 1

Be ready for the next Whistle war! Bring the ultimate weapon on your side before the flames start flying! Get some mercenaries! Come see our crack team at the B-Team!

This in no way indorses the use of violence or petty name calling as a way to solve problems

B-Team

Then what use could we possibly have for it, Lark?

[Added later]
Hey, wait a minute. You’re not that Lark are you? The in-the-morning lark? Oooh, if so, you’ll need all the mercenaries you can get around here.

[ This Message was edited by: Wombat on 2003-01-23 02:29 ]

The ultimate weapon? I have a high-G Generation that’d knock just about anybody to their knees. Problem is, it has just about the same effect on me, which is why I only pull it out about once a year to remind myself why I never play it…
