Thread: Operation Market-Garden Book

  1. #1

    Default Operation Market-Garden Book

    I just finished reading a book on Operation Market-Garden.

    I can't recommend it tho'; they left out a whole bunch of details.

    It was Abridged Too Far.

    Gott, ich schmeiss' mich weg...

    Man sollte echt dankbar sein, dass man die meisten Kalauer in englisch gar nicht versteht.

    Worse... he gets his jollies off of getting reactions out of people.

    Hence my preference to just and walk away...

    Nah -- I'll just be somewhere, doing something, and WHOOMP -- There It Is.

    (I also do Earworms. >:) )

    So far, this particular pun has netted me at least three death threats -- I mean, I expected a reaction, but I didn't think anyone would go The Full Monty.... B)

    That looks more like ear wax to me Chris.

    Really; I thought it was barely worth a smack upside the head.

    Naw, he keeps it up and I'm gonna do a "WHOOMP There It Is" of my own--the last time I did one of those was in my senior-year math class, and the fumes were so bad they cleared the classroom for ten minutes with every window opened to ventilate. (That was also the day after the last time I attended a chili cookoff... think Mother Of All Farts, all six liters of the typical body's daily methane emissions going out at once and then some.)

    I still hold the record at Bristol University, clearing a room of all 38 members of the wargames club, back in 1986; after drinking a 2 litre Neopolitan ice-cream carton when it had thawed out.
    No-one dared to return until a half hour had passed..................

    *I* forced the evacuation of a FLGS....

    A building filled with gamers, and *I* forced them to flee.... >:)

    Side Note: Have you ever noticed how people react to Puns anf Flatulence in exactly the same ways -- disgusted looks; saying "Yuck" or "Ick" or similar; leaving the room; asking the offender to leave the room; *DEMANDING* the offender leave the room; *THROWING* the offender out of the room.... >;)

    It took two weeks of eating nothing but McDonald's to set up *that* Bomb Run. At least it convinced the guy I was aiming for to stop f***ing with my lunch.
