Tenakha Kan Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Oh, no, wait... Just kidding At least Lord Vicious and Pellasgos took the time to write something in their threads... CYRANO: Ah no! young blade! That was a trifle short! You might have said at least a hundred things By varying the tone. . .like this, suppose,. . . Aggressive: 'Sir, if I had such a nose I'd amputate it!' Friendly: 'When you sup It must annoy you, dipping in your cup; You need a drinking-bowl of special shape!' Descriptive: ''Tis a rock!. . .a peak!. . .a cape! -- A cape, forsooth! 'Tis a peninsular!' Curious: 'How serves that oblong capsular? For scissor-sheath? Or pot to hold your ink?' Gracious: 'You love the little birds, I think? I see you've managed with a fond research To find their tiny claws a roomy perch!' Truculent: 'When you smoke your pipe. . .suppose That the tobacco-smoke spouts from your nose-- Do not the neighbors, as the fumes rise higher, Cry terror-struck: "The chimney is afire"?' Considerate: 'Take care,. . .your head bowed low By such a weight. . .lest head o'er heels you go!' Tender: 'Pray get a small umbrella made, Lest its bright color in the sun should fade!' Pedantic: 'That beast Aristophanes Names Hippocamelelephantoles Must have possessed just such a solid lump Of flesh and bone, beneath his forehead's bump!' Cavalier: 'The last fashion, friend, that hook? To hang your hat on? 'Tis a useful crook!' Emphatic: 'No wind, O majestic nose, Can give THEE cold!--save when the mistral blows!' Dramatic: 'When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!' Admiring: 'Sign for a perfumery!' Lyric: 'Is this a conch?. . .a Triton you?' Simple: 'When is the monument on view?' Rustic: 'That thing a nose? Marry-come-up! 'Tis a dwarf pumpkin, or a prize turnip!' Military: 'Point against cavalry!' Practical: 'Put it in a lottery! Assuredly 'twould be the biggest prize!' Or. . .parodying Pyramus' sighs. . . 'Behold the nose that mars the harmony Of its master's phiz! blushing its treachery!' --Such, my dear sir, is what you might have said, Had you of wit or letters the least jot: But, O most lamentable man!--of wit You never had an atom, and of letters You have three letters only!--they spell Ass! And--had you had the necessary wit, To serve me all the pleasantries I quote Before this noble audience. . .e'en so, You would not have been let to utter one-- Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest! I take them from myself all in good part, But not from any other man that breathes!

Bougainville Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Being fed a constant stream of dim-witted white-flag-ho-ho-ho splutter from armchair generals since a good thirteen years now -and counting- it's not the offence that gets the French anymore, it's the sheer boredom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Being fed a constant stream of dim-witted white-flag-ho-ho-ho splutter from armchair generals since a good thirteen years now -and counting- it's not the offence that gets the French anymore, it's the sheer boredom. To be fair thought... the french navy flag is white before the revolution and mostly white at its start... All the more ironic when, like in this painting, the British surrender to the french white flag ( and to the 'muricans ) ( the french army had a white flag as well during the american revolution ) Long live Louis XVII, down with the traitorous revolution !!

Bougainville Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Yep I liked the multiple corkscrews as well, once I noticed them. Plus the 90' joke is just on the spot.

I was buying a survival knife for a hardcore survival journey back in the days ( it's a knife that is designed to work with wood and has a hollow handle for necessary items ), and the fench seller asked me if it was a knife with a corkscrew. Gotta love the french. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vazco Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 The Dutch High Council unanimously agrees that we nerf the French Cavalry first! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_of_the_Dutch_fleet_at_Den_Helder Well, they had some help - eg. ice, and frozen ships. In contrast, a cavalry fighting for the independence of Colombia (current Dutch territory in the game) actually forced a Spanish fleet of gunboats to surrender without a fight, just by breaking morale of fleet's crew by charging into the river This is a warning to Spaniards. If you don't leave Barranquilla, we will use cavalry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
