Spoof on Xmas during WW2, german PoV

Christmas will not take place this year for the following reasons: Joesph has been called up for the army;Mary has joined the red cross; Baby Jesus has been sent to the other children out into the countryside;the Three Wise men could not get Visas because they lacked proof of Aryan orgin; there will be no star because of the blackout;the sheperds have been made into sentries and the angels have become telephone operators. Only the donkey is left and onecan't have Christmas with just a donkey.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and thoroughly immoral -- doctrine that 'violence never solves anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The Ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more disputes in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms." -- Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers

Hey, I had a long talk with my therapist, and he explained the difference between positive attention and negative attention to me.

He said that in my case, pretty much anything that doesn't involve circling helicopters and reference to my Miranda rights could be construed as 'positive attention' at this stage of treatment.

However, unnecessary references to past behaviors could cause a relapse in my delicate condition.

Your call bro. Keep in mind I passed camo with flying colors and am actually a better shot at 500meters than at 200 (fuck the kneeling postion!)

AIM convo, re. Recent happenings on Urban Dead:

Pcm979: I was doing just fine, but you had to go and get killed.

Petrosjko: Right under your nose, Mr. 'Run like pussies!'

Pcm979: Hey, I used all but 1 AP bashing him.

Pcm979: Then I zoomed back in and heroically beat the crap out of you.

Petrosjko: Yes, that was especially bold. "Prnt! Brddy!" *chop chop* "DIE YOU FUCKING ZOMBIE!" "MRH!"

Courtesy of our very own Knife comes a recitation this profundity-

(Profound in the sense that I wish I'd said it first)

Some guy who came up with it before me wrote:If you have the time you ain't got the money, if you have the money, you ain't got the time.

So damn true.

I'd like to claim it, but can't.

But it is true for those of the blue collar.

Those xenos-loving, warp-worshipping heretics actually did a 40K vs. Star Trek topic?

Narsil · Post by **Narsil** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 5:43 am

Actually... I started several of them to see how many of the Die-Hard Trekkies would claim that Trek had a chance in hell... That, and it was fun to read people's accurately violent descriptions of what, exactly, a space marine would do to a pyjama wearing sissy with a phaser.

Same for the Culture vs. Trek one...

How do you know the chosen ones? No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his brother. Not for millions, not for glory, not for fame, for one person. In the dark. Where no one will ever know, or see.

Okay, been going through the old B5 sound files collection here...

Vir, it is a terrible truth that as one accumulates power, one loses friends. One only has those who wish to use you, and those you wish to use. And yet, in all of this, you have somehow managed to walk through corridors of power and not be touched. I can only assume you have not been paying attention! And still, the hideous truth is... you are the closest thing I have to a friend. I am as shocked and dismayed by this as you are, but... there it is.
