State of the Game

[Erei]

but it's so east and logical!

12 inches to the foot, 3 feet to a yard, 5 1/2 yards to the rod, 22 yards to the chain, 40 rods to a furlong, 8 furlongs to a mile, 3 miles to a league.... what could be easier?!?

 

[MishaTX]

I think people from North Dakota do that.

You're not wrong.

 

[Boomtrooper]

Oh boy, those guys where the most twisted ever. I visited a museum about inquisition "methods", and holy s***, I didn't know you could do that kind of things to a human body, while it was still alive.
Talk about a merciful god.

yeah, I went to one in Amsterdam and actually quite affected me... I mean, really?!?!?

Oh the days when people knew how to do math in their head!

He's my distant cousin's aunt's third removed step-brother... emigrated from England in the great Weevil Blight of 1756

I thought he was your father’s, brother’s, nephew’s, cousin’s former roommate?

 

[Rubbernuke]

Only on Sundays.

I need to go to Texas now. If you see a monster truck with ten wheels and painted in old glory parked up its me.

Nah, that's Jeff Jefferty-Jeff you're thinking of... black sheep of the family... we don't mention his name, thankyou....

As a last note on speed limits over here because it's probably confusing unless you grew up with it, while the signs on the road are to be obeyed when in doubt, they're still not gospel.

If, for instance, you're doing a perfect 40 in a 40 while everybody else is doing 50, you will get reprimanded by law enforcement for holding up traffic and creating a safety hazard. Especially if you're in anything but the rightmost lane.

Ah, so... as set down at the second meeting of the Brethren Court, which included the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew.

HELLL YEHAAAHHHH

double wields M-16s, shoots into sky, Eagle swoops down and lands on shoulder approvingly

Then poop goes down jacket and on to pants... ('cause that's what they call them over there!)

It's texas, so not an eagle landing on your shoulder. Maybe a turkey vulture.

In Cornwall its considered incredibly lucky if the seagulls poop on you.

 

[WhiteShadow]

Amen to that. It took me several trips to rehab to break my addiction.

Ahh... It's the Roast Beef Monster Much that I can't give up....

if not frankly inevitable...

Oh no. If you run into the wrong kind while going above posted, you will get a ticket. Unless everybody else is doing so too. It's all about "following traffic". If you're on your own in the middle of the night and go too fast, on the other hand... Really, it's all about safety.

 

[Darth Ender]

depending on the time of day, the speed of traffic on highways around me is 90mph. not exaggerating.

get it while you can ...because in the not too distant future i'm sure cars will auto limit speeds long before they auto-drive for you.

You need a Class 3 license for a full on M-16, but I can supply you with an AR-15 if you like. Personally I prefer the HK91, for when you need to turn cover into concealment.

Nothing beats good old 7.62x51 NATO.

Erm... BLAM!?
