Hmmm. Guess the thread got deleted in the last archive cleanup. Some good retorts:

Paul Hanson: "So, by extrapolation:

1945: WW2 ends
2031: Ted learns that WW2 ended in 1945

1969: Man walks on the moon
2055: Ted learns of the momentous fact"

GePap: "Shees, first influenza...then he will find out about Versailles! Though he should be happy about the Senate votes on the League of Nations..but then he has to see the Reds win in Russia, and then the war between the Soviets and Poles!

Man, Ted is certainly living in trying time!"

Sava: "85 year old flu ridden corpse... I'd hit it "

That Mac thread brings back memories. Some choice quotes from Drake, in a very serious manner:

quote: What brought about this crackdown, Ming? I have my ideas, but I don't want to unjustly blame anyone for destroying the only home we Mac users had.

quote: It does leave a bad taste in you mouth, doesn't it? Asher sets out on some vindictive little vendetta against the Mac people and somehow manages to get his way. Makes me lose faith in humanity.

Agathon also proudly quoted, many times:

quote: Asher is on perma ignore.

Not to mention all of the posts from the Macheads calling for my banning for ratting them out.

They got so worked up, some claimed to quit Poly forever, and threw in choice insults such as:

quote: So bye to the good people, but not to mental Canadian homos with ugly boyfriends.

Even better what Aggie said to Ming. Gems such as:

quote: Don't talk to me about logic, your grasp of it is a joke if that's what you believe.

quote: I'm not saying anything I haven't said elsewhere. When Ming uses the word "logic" he does with precious little understanding of its actual meaning.

And my all-time favorite:

quote: It's not a personal insult. It's a statement of fact. I'm sorry if you are offended by it, but it's the truth nonetheless. Logical statements are those that conform to the strict rules of validity, yours don't. I should know, I've taught formal and practical logic and contributed material to a recently published book on the latter subject.

quote: Originally posted by Kuciwalker The Civ-Mac forum was being used for just general Mac techie threads, and Asher called Ming in on it. It basically killed all discussion in the forum, and there was (and still is) a huge, incredibly funny thread with Agathon and Drake getting all up in arms, calling Ming an ******* and such. They claimed Asher led them into the debates in the first place.

Asher did lead us into those debates and I am just another witness to that.

I liked the thread where posters from all walks of political life on 'Poly's board ended up making fun of Fez/Giancarlo/Pedro, especially when one of the Swedish posters explained that 'fez' was 'fart' in Swedish.

Everyone was taking the piss out of him, Imran, Boris G., Agathon, Chemical Ollie, I was just creasing up every time a new post came up and Fez/G./Pedro ranted and frothed and raved all over again.


The thing is, I can't for the life of me remember what the hell the thread was about, just that I laughed so hard I had a stitch.

Damn.

I loved that thread. They should have renamed it "how not to defend libertarianism."

Apolyton Coffee Shop: The Eternal Spam. Where che became the 'elected' leader of the AECCP, and the resultant civil war.

ancient ones include:

PROT declares war on the UHA: Theben attempts to destroy hippies before they can detonate their "pot-bomb".

rah & Ming's excellent adventure: Wherein maestrojesenka captures Starchild and attempts to steal his godlike powers.

Anyone want to roleplay? 4 dimwitted adventures team up with Imelda Marcos to loot treasure from the dungeons of Apolyton and destroy the evil knight EvC. They managed to defeat the two-headed giant fire breathing ferret, but fell aginast a combination of tentacled bunnies and bad poetry.
