I am a mountainous fountain!

Howdy kids! It's been a while since I last wandered through here, but that won't stop me from acting like self-important ****er simply because I've got a cute little early registration date!

I don't quite understand the vast important you kids seem to attach to these dates, but that won't stop me from flaunting mine with impunity.

This time, I was drawn back to these boards when I, in a fit of unrestrained ego massaging, went to google and typed in 'Beefhawk'. Much to my suprise and alarm, one of the top entries was an ancient thread from Apolyton in which me, Imran, YYH, and a few others were role playing.

True to form, I'd entered their fancypants little sci-fi fantasy as a representative of a Uruguayan beef cartel bent on jacking up prices and making obscene profits. Within four hours, my endearing and meaty creation had been extinguished, trampled, and annhilated three different times, and my dreams were in tatters. I think that's the only time I've ever ventured into the rather kinky world of role-playing...

In other news, is the Locutus that you guys are such big fans of the same kid I've come to know and love? More importantly, how secure are y'alls email accounts?

If I've got the wrong locutus, then that little inside jab will make absolutely no sense. But that's what I'm here for! I'm one of those addled old veterans who wanders by, unleashes a few murky and inaccurate references to bygone times, and then isn't heard of for another six years.

Well, I'll be! Those crazy sons of guns have taken it upon themselves to axe one of my recklessly selected words!

I think that's the first time I've seen that particular world axed, it's rather titillating!

In other news, I suppose I'd best update my little sidebar and whatnot... I usually manage to do that about once every two or three years...

Do I know you, grandpa?

I'm proud to announce that, the distressingly archaic and uhip sidebar that appears alongside this monologue has officially been updated!

I've pegged myself as Finnish, which isn't technically true since I'm just studying here, but I wanted an excuse to fly something other than the American flag...

I don't have anything against it, but it just looks scary and jingoistic when it's looming next to all your posts.

Wowee. That startup date is slightly older than I'd bargained for! I can dig it

Also, much of my monologue won't make sense, since apparently these wacky old forums make my sidebar changes retroactive. Rad!

Speaking of people I know, when I saw that HOF ballot thingy y'all are using, my first thought for an inductee was DOMINIKOS.... I'm pretty surprised that he's not there already. That kid was a nut, but barrels of fun in his own trolly little way.

YOU GUYS WANT MORE STORIES FROM THE OLD DAYS? When I make an appearance here, I usually brag shamelessly about the day when I did html labour for the UCIVII and also strive to work in a few references to CivII heaven... I still pine for that site! BUT I WON'T DO THAT THIS TIME, I PROMISE!

Waiiit, that's not a NATO flag, is it? No, it isn't... but I'll tell a NATO flag-related story anyway.

When the mother of one of my favourite old teachers died, I bought her a NATO flag to show my condolences.

Isn't that a great story?

It would be even better if I'd remembered to give the bloody thing to her...

I think I still have it.

Next time I'm at an international sporting event, I'm going to bring it along and cheer loudly for any NATO member nation. If I'm feeling generous, I'll even give a little hoot for countries that are just in their 'Partnership for peace' program!
