The Honorable Reginald Houseman likes to plat SimStar in his spare time. He plays against himself, and cheats, but still looses. He keeps building up the economy and making the aristocracy and shipping cartels rich, then gets his rich, soft, home starsystem invaded by every little nearby neobarb culture.
One game went so badly that after his home system had been invaded, pillaged and looted over 30 times, his scrabbled together interim government was over thrown by a high school debate team from his own home planet! The simulated populace became so upset that it became the first, and so far only instance of the game that tried to assassinate the person playing it! {Mike <eyes too bright>} |

Chief, "Hey Mange did you see this from Rocket Scientist in the Safehold forum?"
Mange, <An insult to the creator of the People, runsforcelery, there may be riots in the jungles of Sphinx at this infidel's blasphemy!> "Chill, 'cat!, it was just a humorous thought while he was masticating dessicated dead deer dermis at the keyboard." <Hey Rocket Scientist,> "Temper temper Mange."

Ok! OK! You win Mange! I promise to never again expand in vain the name of the creator of all tree cats! Please spare my while there are still large enough parts of my epidermis for the Pasqualites to find and stitch together back into something resembling a human being. Oh, and what is that over there in what used to be my back pocket? Some fresh celery stalks? Would you like to share some with me? |

Mange, <You have been gone a while. So what's going on outside the Honerverse?>

"Speaking of flies, our good friend Namelessfly got hit with the Ban Hammer in the latest flame war in Free Range Topics... I eulogized him in the RIP Namelessfly thread thus:"
<That is terrible, what did the poor Fly do to cause the Duckk to use his flyswatter?> "Got too passionate in the latest political flame war on the Middle East, and frankly use inappropriate non PG language I warned the other posters we might get this from the Duckk as things got out of hand:" <Didn't the Duckk warn him?> "The Duckk warned him several times in previous flame wars, but in this case he locked the thread and hit poor Fly with his mighty Ban Hammer." <I'll miss the Fly's comments here. Is the banning permanent?> "Don't know. Perhaps if enough of the Fly's friends comment in the thread http://forums.davidweber.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3520 the Duckk may relent." <I hope so who else can we kid about wanting shower scenes.

Ok... my first try at an Honorverse joke!
What did the Nimitz sign when he saw all the Detwilers sitting at the conference table? . . . . . <I'll have the buffet> -
