GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Gah?
A brief history of Gah!:
Somone posted a poll, can't begin to tell you who it was or what it was about. One of those, "Here's a controversial subject, I'll give you three unsatisfactory options." But in a stroke of pure genius, the pollster added a fourth option: GAH! And well, the thread took on a life of its own, and everybody just started talking about Gah!, and there you have it.
Ever since then, it's been sort of obligatory to have a Gah! option in any poll. And when we had a mock-election in the backroom, the Gah! party fielded not one but two candidates.
I guess it's not so funny once it's explained. Jokes are like cats -- they die when dissected. But now you know.
Re: Gah?
Gah!
Lemurmania either you been lurking for a loooong time or you've known something I didn't know.
AFAIK Gah started to be used by Vanya around early 2002 (I checked old posts) by some reason and it has been spread afterwards.
Only the real veterans knows exactly why.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Yeah, Vanya puts one at the beginning and end of his every post. So, was it he that started GAH?

Re: Gah?
Ah, so I was giving a false and incomplete history of Gah. Well then, i was just relating the first time I saw it. Made sense to me. I mean, what's to argue with when someone shouts "Gah"?
Re: Gah?
I was under the impression that it was either Vanya or Krasturak who coined the term "Gah!". They roleplay as barbarians here at the Org, and have been using the "GAH!" expletive since the original Shogun days.
I like using it because it feels good and sounds better than a swear word, while serving the same purpose. Problem is, I've been using it outside of the Org too, and people react to me as if I were a nut or something. I am, but still ... gah!

Re: Gah?
Just plain Gah!
Do unto others before they do unto you.
Re: Gah?
GAH!
Additionally I remember that Vanya once explained that GAH! stands for "Great Annual Hunt", some kind of celebration of the Mongols. During this hunt, Heads are collected (Shogun gives you the number of killed enemies as "Heads taken") which are then made into Head-Soup, of course. (Or, so they say.) Which makes sense in connection to Barbarians and Shogun.
Before I signed in at the .Org I already lurked for months and I have the impression that GAH! is here since at least early 2002.
GAH!
P.S:Where's Vanya? Enlighten us oh Headless One!
