    Yep, Krast started it, I believe.

    Where is Krast? I haven't seen him for a while. I miss the head soup...

    Oh and Gah! is head soup, made from the heads of your enemy gathered on the fields of battle.

    The origins of GAH date back long into when I was a Junior Patron, when this guy made a poll I think consisting only of GAH!!! and MEH!!! or something like that.

    “GaH”, the Klingon culinary specialty must not be confused with the Vanya head-soup delicacy.

    So 'Gah!' was invented here on the Org? I thought it was 'common' english. I also read a comic strip where 'Gah!' was used.

    I have seen it in a few places outwith the .Org, also, but Gah isn't common English, i.e. one would probably not find it in the Oxford English Dictionary. It is probably a colloquial term, used in a certain area in the same way as argh, bah, and such things.

    Following those threads back then was a lot of fun.
    Nearly busted a gut when I first read this:

    [Agador]: What they heck is that...?
    [Jotito]: Sounds like some idiot yelling he wants some koku...
    [Kong]: Wong! Oh crap!
    [They look back and see Wong racing down the mountain slopes
    headed straight for them at full speed.]
    [Wong]: I WANT MY 2 KOKUUUUU!
    [Kong]: Looks like he has 2 passengers...
    [The men look closely, trying to peer into the carriage.]
    [Beerman]: COME BACK HERE! YOU OWE ME BEER MONEY!
    [Geemuni]: DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?!? EMBRACE THE LORD! REPENT!
    [Agador]: [Stops cold, pulls out arquebus and loads it.] OK... we need to put
    some distance between us.
    [Jotito]: Just what the hell do you think you are doing?
    [Kong]: Just watch.
    [Fatsumo]: Places hands over ears. Righteous men takes the path of nonviolence.
    [Agador]: I won't hurt anybody. [Fires the gun. The bullet strays off and hits
    nothing. But, Wong fliches after going through the last episode,
    and closes his eyes. His rickshaw loses control and smashes into Jotito's wife, knocking her off her feet. The rickshaw rolls over a number of times and comes to a halt.]
    [Kong]: You missed...
    [Agador]: No I didn't. I just didn't need to hit anything.
    [Kong]: S-W-E-E-T !
    [Jotito]: D-U-D-E ! What did you do?
    [Agador]: Trust me, they are fine.
    [Geemuni]: Umph! [Pulls his face out from between Jotito's wife's legs.] I
    HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

    [Beerman]: [Farts]
    [Wong]: I WANT MY 2 KOKUUUuuuu... Dang! WHO FARTED?!?
