anyway this went on for many years and there was only ever one occasion where i was allowed to play on a weekday without being watched, and that was when i was home sick from school on september 11, 2001. so to this day i associate spyro 1 and 2 with mild domestic terror, and spyro 3 with the death of thousands and the grisly dreadful birth of the twenty first century

I'm glad this is a joke but I feel like this must have genuinely happened to someone, somewhere.

I stayed home from school that day and as I watched the towers’ collapse loop on tv, I built and destroyed them myself in SimCity 3000. I don’t think it had the air crash disaster like SimCity 2000 did, so I must have simply set them on fire.

I still have the page from my school notebook where I had written something like

"A plane flew into the World Trade Center towers!!! One of them fell over!!!!"

which puts an unusually accurate timestamp on the writing of that note

Same, except for that loving Weigraf battle in Final Fantasy Tactics.

Having to restart the game because of Wiegraf was an important lesson in keeping multiple saves and I learned it with the patience of a Buddha.

Since I played FFTactics as a kid, I approached it as any kid would: massively over-grinding in very inefficient ways. I played it on and off for like two years. By the time I actually tried the Wiegraf fight I was so over-leveled that I completely walked all over it. I beat the entirety of chapter 4 in about a day.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am happy to write a letter of recommendation for Vanisher. Having supervised him for six years now, I believe he would make an excellent Assistant Deputy Department Head. He has consistently been among my highest performing supervisees, he has taken the initiative to design and implement many process improvements, and he has pleasured me for hours with the focus and intensity of a truffle hog searching after a European white truffle.

Unlike many of my supervisees, who are transferred to my department under regular procedures, Vanisher was transferred to my department because I explicitly asked to work with him after seeing the work that he did on the Kleinberg Portfolio. Having had the opportunity to observe the energy and intelligence he brought to that project, I knew that he would be a valuable addition to my department in addition to being able to lick me up and down like a pussy lollipop with a sweet gooey center.

I soon discovered that in addition to his high level of general performance, Vanisher was committed to innovation and continuous improvement. After observing inefficiencies in our document-management system, Vanisher developed a new flow chart in Visio, which involved both a normal process and contingency planning for high-priority requests, and when he discovered that I had a particularly sensitive G-spot, he invented new ways to use both his tongue and fingers to pleasure me. I discovered that I was a squirter.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention that Vanisher eats out like a middle-aged bachelor who lives upstairs from a Chinese restaurant, by which I mean: frequently, knowledgeably, and with only a reasonable amount of shame. At this point, just looking at the guy gets me drenched. Seriously. It's like the god drat Ninth Ward down there.

As you can see, I think Vanisher is a good candidate for this opening, just as he has been a great candidate for my opening. He has my highest recommendation.

Sincerely,
Old Lady Boss

I'm looking for the quote comparing the U.S. Navy's commanding officer to the Royal Navy's commanding officer.
I remember bits and parts of it - the dashing U.S. Navy Admiral had a part you could land an F-18 on, but "our lad" Mark Stanhope, First Sea Lord, had something money cannot buy - class.

Easily one of my favorite quotes on these forums.

however i wouldn't trust google to run the system because they'd push out an untested update that accidentally reversed the roles of the delivery tubes and the poop tubes and bring a whole new meaning to the word "shitposting", as well as attempting to insert my amazon delivery into my lower intestine at supersonic speeds.

Grey Skies posted:

Here is a picture of Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, GCB, OBE, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff of the United Kingdom (the most senior serving officer in the Royal Navy). He joined in 1970.



By way of contrast, here is a picture of Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, USN, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet and Vice Chief of Naval Operations. He joined his navy in 1977.



I can't even count how many there are there. Do medals actually mean anything in the US armed forces or are they more like those certificates you get in primary school for not loving up your colouring-in that week?

Clamps McGraw posted:

Not that I disagree with you, but "First Sea Lord" is the most badass title ever.

Pimpin' motherfucker don't need no bling to show how drat street he is. He's the first lord of the SEA, yo.
Forest Fuckery posted:

Bet your rear end he has a sword, though.

No man titled "First Sea Lord" shouldn't be without a sword.

Clamps McGraw posted:

Just those two pictures are basically an amazing comparison of our nations.

Our lad Mark over here is rotund, unassuming, hunched shoulders, non-threatening, bad hair, rosy cheeked, has no need for garish frippery on his uniform, and - conforming to the ultimate American stereotype - perhaps a little lacking in dental care.

All American stud Pat, on the other hand, sits confidently astride his desk, bedecked in thousands of baubles, class ring perched on finger, wide shoulders, a side parting you could land an F-18 on, and teeth that could chew through the steel plate of HMS Warspite.

But even with all these differences, there's something Pat isn't. He's not the First Sea Lord. And even with a fleet seven times the size of the rest of the world combined, there's one thing American officers can't buy.

Class.
