182# FEAR AND LOATHING IN BACH'S CATHEDRAL
Bugs visits a world of wonders
By Bugs ****ing Bunny

Eli · August 19, 2001, 20:26

One of the best columns I saw.

KrazyHorse · August 19, 2001, 20:29

Agreed. Very funny, bunny.

d_dudy · August 19, 2001, 20:43

bugs****ing crazy is more like it.

it's still a good column

Lefty Scaevola · August 19, 2001, 21:38

"Losing" has the wrong verb tense.

ixnay · August 19, 2001, 21:51

That' a good column - I laughed my ass off.

Lancer · August 20, 2001, 01:55

Will there be humor after Bugs? I doubt it. We'll have to go back to 'knock knock' jokes and "pull my finger".

It will be a dark time.

raingoon · August 20, 2001, 05:10

Funny column, Bugs! Write more! Best to Daffy!

Father Beast · August 20, 2001, 08:22

Let's see...

King richard's crusade causes you to have a highly disputed sexual orientation

Leonardo's causes the rest of the world to discuss if you're gay

writing this article causes apolyton to discuss whether bugs is gay

Peta, backpackers, and geeks. what more could I expect from this guy!

Immortal Wombat · August 20, 2001, 08:29

*hurridly makes backpacker sprite*

Very very funny.

btw...

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode called Lisa's Wedding, where Homer says "pull my finger" to Hugh, Lisa's english fiance, and he replies "Oh, we have that in England too, Mr Simpson"

NO WE DONT!! I've never heard it! Why is it funny?

Hasdrubal · August 20, 2001, 09:56

Thanks, Bugs! That column is hilarious!

Provost Harrison · August 20, 2001, 14:51

Rommel393 · August 21, 2001, 10:27

Sad but true....

Oh yeah, funny article

debeest · August 21, 2001, 15:05

Probably the first worthwhile article the newsletter has published since the new forum "operating system" was put into place. Thanks, bugs.

monolith94 · August 21, 2001, 16:11

There is humour beyond bugs; the Brain anyone?

Bugs ****ing Bunny · August 21, 2001, 17:21

Like most things that I joke about, it's something that irritates me. While the "wonders" are a nice touch, I can't help feeling that they're effects can be grating.

Changes due in Civ3? I hope so.

General Ludd · August 21, 2001, 17:29

The only wonder that I remember having a real problem with was the pyramids, I just don't get how they could have anything to do with granaries.

I also thought that the statue of liberty, eifel tower, and - to a somwhat lesser extent - hoover damn, where pretty silly 'wonders'.

*End Is Forever* · August 21, 2001, 20:21

I think Markos should publish Winston's Secret Diary as a column.

Gatekeeper · August 22, 2001, 01:59

Bugs ***ing Bunny, et al.:

Pretty good stuff!

CYBERAmazon

The Rusty Gamer · August 24, 2001, 05:37

How about this for a wonder?

Tower of Babel - Can only be built by all nations simultaneously when all are in alliance. When finished, this causes Civ3 to suddenly start running all its different language versions at once. The result is immediate confusion to the players and sets them back thousands of game years just when they were about to reach the stars and win. Also, all alliances are instantly broken and wars break out everywhere at once.

splangy · August 24, 2001, 21:04

Im surprised you forgot-

The Collosus- provides good economic boost until it expires, at witch point the city its built in riots due to the blatent show of public nudity, and for the rest of the game all other leaders act awkward around you and constantly end conversations saying
"Why did you make a forty foot nude statue of a man with his legs spread apart? Im not implying anything but you know its kinda... um... never mind"

ps- very funny column

true, true

btw, why didn't he add other columns, because a). he didn't want to spoil it by making it too long/repetitive, and b.) because he couldn't think of anything good for the other ones (and btw, neither did yoo

)
hehe

just my $.02

Agamemnon · August 26, 2001, 22:58

I am sure that this must have already been mentioned by someone but I think that a great new wonder would be building the Panama Canal. There would aslo have to be a new advance called Cilil Engineering and a new unit called a civil engineer. This wonder would allow any nation who has researched cilvil engineering to use this unit to build bridges over otherwise impassible water spaces (but up to a point). This unit would also be able to build canals whcih would allow otherwise landlocked cities to have a port. It would also allow a Civ to create a strategic passage to allow their navies easier access for attack, defence or trade.

Shteven · August 26, 2001, 23:21

good column

MrFun · August 27, 2001, 06:11

That was a good column, Bugs.

If I can think of a hilarious or crazy wonder, I will let you know.

Already in the game as a minor wonder. Apparently it and the Great Wall once built can be placed on the map where you want it for reduced movement and greater defense.
