Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina - Page 138

wow, the cantina is pretty busy at the moment

re football: IIRC Germany came in second, England did as well as the USA. That is much as I have to say about that. I did not mean to disrespect the South Korean team. In fact I was a big fan of them and most of their matches were the most enjoyable to watch. The fact that they did better than most "great football nations" is sure to piss some people off, though (same goes for the US, btw).

re Ger-Eng 1-5: that was irrelevant and done on purpose to make sure England would qualify. so at least we'd someone to make fun of during the tournament after Holland didn't make it (hope i didn't open a can of worms here. if you wish to discuss Germany vs. Holland in regards to football, we'll need a new thread...)

* Rollo invites the Tigga over to his table to have a beer. Maybe we can at least agree that we don't like the French.

re 500ml cans: I prefer those only "to go". Any of the northern (Holsten, Becks, Jever) or danish (Faxe, Tuborg) brews will be fine. In the cantina I prefer from the tab of course. 500ml is just the perfect size. A pint is too small. If the imperial pint is bigger, that's better. one litre steins are too bavarian... and before you get any ideas: No, we don't wear "Lederhosen" in the North.

I am not going into any bar where Rollo, Mephisto and a bunch of other Germans are wearing leiderhosen.....

you got to the final by playing easy teams, by having a damn good goalkeeper to keep the poor teams out of your goal, end of story and the first real competition you hit roll you over

do you know, you Germans are amazing. You let us win 5-1 and staged the whole German nation turning into manic depressives etc just to get us to the world cup? awwww... you are so nice

I like the French by the way and refuse to be party to any Franco-Prusso/Germano antagonism. I am too busy offending the whole world to worry about any local partisanship!

One thing that this World Cup taught us is that there are no easy teams anymore. I totally agree about our goalkeeper. But that is the point, you win the game if you score more than your opponent. You stated earlier that at least you scored one goal against Brazil. So friggin what? If you find comfort in that, that's fine. Just to remind you, Costa Rica scored two goals against them. So take it for it's worth.

yes, aren't we

. of course I didn't tell you the whole truth. The brillant master plan was, to give England illusions that they actually had a good team.

just for the record, I wasn't referring to the whole french nation, just their team

* Rollo puts on the Lederhosen borrowed from a bavarian friend, removes his horned helmet and asks Gryphin for a stetson, sharpens his axe, and puts on a little (line) dance

Mephisto · #**1374** July 4th, 2002, 06:19 PM

You know, Rollo and I live north of the Main river so no lederhosen for both of us. You can wear one if you must, GT...

Regarding the 1-5: One summer day doesn't make a summer. Dare to compare the victories total, do you?

And don't forget, you only love the french for 2 reasons: Their girls and for Paris as it prevented the current Ms. GT from joining you in Japan...

Rollo · #**1375** July 4th, 2002, 06:26 PM

Mephisto is totally right, lederhosen are just too silly looking.

* Rollo quickly removes the lederhosen and puts back his horned helmet

Rollo and Mephisto,

First, the 5-1 is in response to years of sarcasm and snidy remarks by the Germans to the English... you had a great team in the 80's and early 90's but with Voller and Klinsmann retiring? nuff said

You have to realise that like Spain and Portugal (and to a certain extent France for years and Italy for the Last few) England have been perennial underperformers relying on a few aging stars... but we are now getting to stage of having a young talented team and a great coach and to quote the song, "the only way is up (baby)"

We can argue this all year.. you boys got an easier ride than most to get to where they did in the World Cup, simple fact and say compared to what South Korea had to go through, no comparison.

Re the French, I like the girls, the people, the cities and the cuisine, I like the country and I like their 'bugger the rest of you' attitude.. I like the Germans, the Dutch, the Belgians, the Luxembourgeoise and infact I dont think I dislike anybody - EXCEPT LINE DANCERS OF COURSE

Why am I arguing with two north germans who no doubt look like Helmut Kohl chewing hot chillis
I didnt like Mrs GT in Paris, the credit card bill covering the first half of her trip has arrived and I almost burst my stitches

The "which just leaves the Boston Sex Fiend if I am right"
Has uploaded him emp and chosen a ship set.
Let the Bash Begin.

Growltigga · #**1378** July 4th, 2002, 10:38 PM

awww, be kind Grypho, I have now been in the office for 38 hours flat and feel like you look

I have been trying to upload my empire all day and for some reason, it wont accept me

awww, I feel so sorry that I am letting you all down

Mephisto · #**1379** July 4th, 2002, 11:35 PM

We love you, GT.

Really!

Growltigga · #**1380** July 5th, 2002, 12:29 AM

I love you too Mehpisto and have always felt that you are probably the Cantina lurker who most needs a big wet kiss on the bottom

Are you not impressed by my fortitude? with 8 stitches just above my groin and a welt the size of a bratwurst, I have now done 41 hours with no sleep and am heading into another night of frenzied negotiation

What a complete and utter foxtrot uniform life is

The good news is that Kylie Minogue has sent me a telegram saying that she loves me, wants only me and wants to share her �45 million fortune with me and me alone.. the bad news is that I am obviously hallucinating through lack of sleep as I am convinced that Mila Jojovich was helping me draft a particularily tricky subordination on insolvency clause

the real good news is that my empire is loaded - yes, that's right folks, its bottom-kicking time, let's rock and roll and make sure that role playing is the order of the day.. Mac, act like an incontinent old fool (dont get sterotyped), Rollo - act like a teutonic nutter, Gryphin - act like a sexually demented middle aged line dancer, Fyron - act spotty, Saxon - just ry to act normal alright?
