"Oh god, no! Not Sirik! NOOO!!! We wanted to BREAK the cycle of insane
Wing I CMDRs, didn't we?!?" -LC Freelancer
"There's a surprising lack of me in this report, Proton. I can only say
that I'm...disappointed. Remedy that for next week, I suppose. :P " -LC Mike "big head" Chistu
" **Team LS&D pounces on the vacationed LC Mike, batters him viciously, and
slams him into the HGBs "down" chute**
Welcome back to the flagship, Mike. My assistants are taking care of your
R&R afterglow, I see ;) ... MUAHAHAHA" -AD "keep 'em guessing" Proton
"Ah, it's good to be home." -LC Mike "picking up his vital organs" Chistu
"No, Mike, that one's an old rat skull, leave it on the deck" -LC Freelancer
" I hear ya... oh wait, im not in school anymore.... ::Cackles evily:: Sorry Brian.. ::hands you a Sprite::" -VA Joe
" MoH/IC/GoE/OoR/PC/MoI-dc/ISM/MoT-rhx2/MoT-ghx8/LoC-CSx5/DFC/CoS/OV-7E/LoA
Oh, see that single ISM in GA Ronin's ID Line? That was a product of me being rather drunk while playing with the admin options back when I was a WC... I just noticed he put it back in after keeping it out for awhile... Just thought that was kinda funny.. hehehe
Okay, back to drinking... " -VA "what in the hell time is it" Joe
one hand and my joystick in another" would be oblivious to Snij? :P
"I get Knocked Down!, But I get up again you'll never keep me down. - Well it
kinda symbolises what's been happening in #Tiecorps for the last few days.
just under 1/2 of the wing II command staff have been shot. Don't get
alarmed they were only playing Russian roulette. Actually, maybe you should
be alarmed. " -COL Jon Doyle
"Dangit... I was looking forward to the beating of my superior ;) " -MAJ Argon Viper
" **Motions to med droids**
LC Mike, this man needs help. Serious help involving electroshock." -AD Proton
"CLEAR!"
BZZZZZZZZZZZT.
Talons jumps up and shouts jubileously. "YES! Do it again."
"CLEAR!"... "-MAJ Talons Pryde
"Hey, aren't you supposed to stop doing that once the patient's heart
starts beating again?" -LC Freelancer
"LOL ! Where can you buy such a Sith Cat (that laughter WAS sinister ! ) " -MAJ Carl Lost
"LOL, funny. The cat in the back doesnt seem to think it's funny, though." -GN Stele Pellaeon
"hmm... maybe a stupid dog picture would suit Tempy better ? What animals do
you like, then ? " -Meow, ehrm, MAJ Carl Lost
"So, next Saturday at 2:00 PM
Eastern time all
American women are asked to walk out of their house
completely naked " -VA Joe
" ::: Grue changes the title :::
Oh No!
Not in PA you don't!
This is not eye candy being suggested here, it's more like nitric acid!" -CPT Night Grue
"demonstrate that they think it's okay to see
nude women other than
their wife " -VA Joe
"Man, you have shown complete ignorance as to the extreme danger this would place married grues in! :-) " -CPT Night Grue
"LMAO!!
But it IS spam. I still may have to have you killed, unless you can get me
some video of this event in St. Louis. :p " -COL Brian
"Bwhhahaha But it's NOT Spam!! Pass this on so everyone will know to sit in your lawn chairs to drink beer and watch and endless stream of naked women walk infront of you.. now how in the hell can you call THAT spam?? :P " -VA Joe
"It's very much spam. Topless beaches are the norm in Germany... and man, it
wasn't all it's cracked up to be. (too much fat and sagging offset the beauty!)
Anyway it reeks like spam!" -COL Brian
"First, to go on record, let be known that Grue finds all "Human" females to be grotesque ... in a most provocative way!
That being said, Grue has to add that research in Pennsylvania is out of the question!
"Who let the Dogs out ... whoof, whoof, whoof, whoor, whoof"
::: could have been the state song ::: " -CPT Night Grue
"Pace myself??? I'm 22!! There is no such thing as "pace myself"!!! :P " -VA Joe

"LOL ... Hell hath no fury as a pissed off female Grue!" -COL Sasquatch
"Greetings everyone. This week was quite good and active week. Active
especially for me, while I was constantly being drunk since last
Friday (which ended today with a huge hangover). This is my
explanation for lac k of this report until the time you're reading it,
which is now...Ok, leaving the things I've have and have not been
doing this weekend, I'm going straight to the point:
Recruitment Slogan: People, this is the best ****ing wing ever! - Of
course everyone agrees on that one - I'll be using this phrase
everytime, if I don't know what to say in introduction. Now If anyone
knows what the hell Am I talking about, please send the answers to: 2343
Nut Street, 66-666 Asylum, Ulaan-Battar (MONGOLIA). You've got the time
until hmm, an hour ago. Lack of it = AWOL, understood? oki. Now lets get
down to news:" -MAJ Mayk Wolverine
"Wolvie, please let us know how the brain tumor surgery goes ... we will send flowers =/ " -AD Proton
"Who's getting brain surgery? *Frodo calls his florist* " -LC Frodo
"Erm, I think Proton was talking about me :P Although I definately
won't need it :) " -MAJ Mayk Wolverine
"Oh...he's trying to trick me again....
*Frodo cancells the order for flowers* " -LC Frodo
"I prefer beer for my funeral, beer instead of flowers ;p " -MAJ Mayk Wolverine
"# Countrary to some gossip spread around the wing - I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY BRAIN SURGERY (well at least not in this month)." -MAJ Mayk Wolverine
"Captain Cook’s Words of Wisdom
This week’s words are:
"...LCM Carl Lost ? SIGH ! Those were times when we were youg and agile ! Beware young sprout ! When WE were young we had to walk to our TIE's without turbolifts ! Do you have any idea how long a alarm mhad to sound until we went to our TIE racks ?ack ack ack...!" -Carl Lost
"I only have a short time while both SovCOM Proton *AND* WC Mike
aren't looking to sneak in a reference that I've done to death,
Pirates! Pirates! Wheeee!!!! Not that a pirate ever said "wheeee"
mind you, as I think the other pirates would have slit his gizzard
before the last two "ee"s were done." -LC Freelancer
"So gear up, ye scurvy space varmints, we're going to shiver the
timbers! We're going to hoist the mails'l! We're going to... to...
uh.. Line? LINE! For the love of all things PIRATICAL, SOMEBODY GIMME
A PIRATE SAYING FAST!!!!
Unfortunately, Bubba doesn't *do* "Pirate"
He says there's no way he's going to braid all his hair. My attempt
to jokingly wave a pair of hair clippers in front of him met with an
unfortunate bout of about 27 stitches in the med bay, but the look on
his face was priceless as he tried to rip my arm off." -LC Freelancer
"Here's the FO report for your enjoyment. WARNING: Pri seems to ramble on
towards the end a bit. Apparently he's getting senile in his old age or
something..." -LC Mike Chistu
"Awwwwww, I fly better when I'm drunk." -CPT Vector
" *Free perks up at that statement*
Hey, Mike! I haven't been flying my best lately, I know just the
remedy (*pops out of TIE and into cantina*) " -LC Freelancer
"Awwwww. Rats are so cute." -LC Frodo
"Now let this be a lesson to everyone, don’t do things in a hurry. Unless you’re in the cantina drinking." -CM Gyssler
"Take note that if we don't get AT LEAST 6 people to fly, we will be adding in zero's, which are great for credit card balances but NOT for EH competitions." -COL Sasquatch
"BTW, cracked fingernails suck, and air intakes on Saturns with the DOHC
1.9L are booby-trapped." -COL Brian
"bah, no commendation for CMDR who fought over 2 hours dealing with 103 files? Even managed to crash the database once =P " -CPT Ace Hobbes
"Ace, you forget: CMDRs, WCs and COMs are just working slobs doing paperwork -- the pilots get all the glory!!! :) " -AD "pencil pusher" Proton
"BEER is what I want at least if I have to work like that in the future too ;P " -CPT Ace Hobbes
" **Dude rolls a keg into Ace's quarters and Snippy zips in and quickly installs the tap. Leroy hands Ace a frosty mug** " -AD Proton
OFF-TOPIC NOTES
"It's spring training, brother. I'm going to do what I'm going to do. Enjoy the show." -Barry Bonds
