Oh Churchill, how you must be rolling in your grave.
Poignant. I liked alot actually.
Are you referring to his notoriously lengthy memoirs? Or his other works as well? I read three of the volumes (WWI) for a History Fair essay, and they are quite magnificent, although at certain points they do become quite dull.Quote:

EDIT:
Heh, hence the de-motivator. All of my previous submissions were de-motivating as well, and not simply created for humour. Reflecting my own pessimistic and cynical nature.Quote:

Finally, something sweet.
I believe you mean "Elephants vs Spartans". :yes:
That's still doable, though the Spartans win frequently in one-on-one fights.Quote:

Then I had a couple of battles. All I can say is - Onagers with Flaming Missiles kill any elephant in one shot, and sometimes even two elephants at a time!Quote:

I think we all do retarded bridge battles.
Meh, the classic Elephants vs. Flaming Pigs scenario reigns supreme...
This one isn't very funny, I'm afraid. :no:

The only "funny " thing I did was 20 units of Armenian peasants against my single of unit of Scipii Urban Cohort with all gold upgrades possible. I lost 20 men and they lost 500, but they were too exhausted to kill much of the routers.
My EB computer is busted, and I have the greatest idea for a demotivator... Could someone do me a favour and send me a picture of an elephant knocking down a roman palisade?:wall:
No, but I will send you one with greek palisade. :yes::beam::grin::devilish:Quote:

It's not a very, um, memorable line. It's better to stick to traps when discussing Ackbar.
Maybe... Meh, maybe its just more memorable to those of us who A) went to see it in theatres, or B) those of us who's dad went to see it in theatres, and made us watch it when we were like 2
I was raised on star wars, son!
Actually I find it quite good: a bit of fun followed by a sad train of thoughts...Quote:
