Free drink to anyone who gets that little reference.
Hint: It's from a tv show.

I'm Kurulham. I'm 23, and I'm a US Navy sailor, which is why I'm not going to supply my real name. In Japan at the moment but I should be heading back Stateside sometime in the next few months.
I'm also a renegade classicist with a penchant for beating people over the head with Greek lexica and calling Loeb hardbacks "my precious".
I'll drink just about anything that comes from Ireland, Japan, or wherever the hell makes Goose Island Oatmeal Stout. Dark beer and smooth whiskey. Oh, and sake and chu-hi, because they're vastly easier to come by than anything else these days.
To be ON the wagon means to be stopping off the drink. When you relapse and get shit-faced, you've fallen OFF the wagon!Quote:

As for me, I'm from sunny Phoenix Arizona...and now attending NAU in Flagstaff, Arizona, which is less sunny, and less warm, and overall, much easier on the eyes. When I have time, I play EB or Medieval II, as I find both fairly enjoyable.
As for me, I'd like to get married some point, as marriage is considered a good thing to have in my future career field: Orthodox Priest.
(as if I wasn't weird enough already with the bird thing :laugh4: )
Takes all sorts fella!
Wargh, I go away for five days and when I come back so much has happened. Hasn't anyone bothered to clean all that dried blood off the wall? o.o *nonchalantly pours self a glass of absolut vodka, heads over to said wall, splashes vodka all over it and watches it sizzle*
been fairly busy recently so not had too much time to play, also not been feeling too well.
I did however buy Shogun Total War yesterday and it's great, also has a very strong atmosphere. I can see why many love it.
Well, I was referring to the Seinfeld episode where they argue if relapsing should be called getting off the wagon, or getting on the wagon.Quote:

It should be called getting off the wagon, because the expression dates back to something called the Temperance movement in [America I think], when there was something called a 'temperance wagon' going around and women riding on it would invite alcoholic men to get on board as a commitment to quitting. Hence getting on the wagon would mean quitting drinking, and getting off would mean the opposite.
This is pezhetairoi by the way. I'm hijacking karielle's computer with her looking on :D
I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld! Is that the show with the guy who dropped the N-bomb earlier this year?Quote:

Yes. That was the guy who plays Cosmo Kramer....He's the reason the show is so funny really, although George and Jerry add a lot to it too....Elaine is kind of boring, but it's funny when she dances (and anyone who has seen that episode will undoubtedly agree).Quote:

I prefer Monty Python. Their flying Circus is awsome Blackadder and Allo Allo are also funny as hell! For more recent stuff, I just Looooove Cuppling and My Family. Now that's COmedy.
Cheers...
Anyone who likes Monty Python should be able to figure out my name! Well, maybe not anyone, probably only geeks like my good self!
I'll give you a clue, it's from one of their films!
Heh, I love Allo Allo and Mind your Language! The latter one particularly, there's a lot of wordplay. Heh heh. And sad to say, horst, I've only watched Holy Grail. So that could be a bit of a problem, heehee.
Lets see, Im 41 (does that make me a veteran?) from the south coast of England, Been playing computer games since the days of the spectrum +2.
I'm into Rock/Metal and was one of the 20 odd million who tried to get Led Zep tickets. I gave up my motorcycle about 5 years ago. I like to read with Pratchett, Gemmell (RIP) & Goldsworthy my current favourite authors.
When Im not playing RTR/EB I also like to reminiss about the old days (pre games consoles) about Kenny Everitt, The original Hitch Hikers Guide (the radio version) albums and album artwork (Derek Riggs). My first gig was Motorhead when I was 16 and I have been hard of hearing ever since. Cheers Lemmy.
Regrets: I would have liked to have seen Freddie Mercury & Queen before he sadly passed away. One of lifes great showmen.
I was in the pelopponese on holiday recently and want to go back as soon as possible. Loved the people. Got to see some amazing places, Nemea, Mycene, Ancient Corinth & Epidavros. I hope they recover from the fires quickly and safely.
Cheers, I'll have a JD with the top off please.
If you've watched Holy Grail, that should be enough!Quote:

Please tell me you Pythonoids and Blackadderites are also Goons.

Famous Python Quotes
You mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

He's not the messiah..... he's a very naughty boy
::Life of Brian::
Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement,... you whining hypocritical toadies with your colour TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding masonic secret handshakes. You wouldn't let me join, would you, you blackballing bastards. Well I wouldn't become a Freemason now if you went down on your lousy stinking knees and begged me.
::Contractual Obligation::
Horst, aren't you a shruberer?
Cheers...
My name isn't Roger.
It's from the opening credits.
So you got fired then... I see... tough luck. Shame about your cousin who was bitten by a moose.
Cheers...
I think we have a winner!!
I like watching Frasier... :eyebrows:
ohhhh.... the nordic fellas who played with the meese and stuff, where meese is my special plural for moose. Seriously though, anyone know what's the plural for moose? I mean, goose-geese, so logically moose-meese?
I don't remember any horst nordfink there though, I must've not scrutinised the credits closely enough.
Where's the bartender? I haven't seen him around lately...
Keeping in tune with the Monty Python talk,I have recently gotten into it.Have seen Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and scene clips of such things like the Spanish Inquisition,Dirty Fork, Hitler in England, and others. Have also memorized a few songs; Spam Song, Knights of the Round Table, and Always Look on the Bright side of Life. A few friends of mine are even thinking about singing them for our school talent show.
We're people for singing the drinking song. Just look around the previous pages. XD
Not bad, people, about 20 more posts and we'll catch up the Celtic Overpowered thread!
