This came up in the 155 mm mortar thread. I had to look up the definition, on the Google btw. I find it both slightly embarrassing and very ironic that I had to do so as it was used by Robin and von Marwitz and they do not have English as their first language and I do. Actually it is my only language.

The command of English displayed by our foreign comrades is quite commendable. I still find it amazing that so many non native English speakers play ASL. Well done to all of you.

I was trying to come up with something combining the 2 dm 81 mm mortars thread with the 155 mm mortar thread.

You know: 2 dm 81mm mortars walk into a bar and see 155 mm mortar and .......
I was thinking along those lines but can't come up with anything. Shooting blanks.

 

[Actionjick]

Btw that photo on the 2 dm 81 mm mortars thread is one of my favorites. Very informative.

This is maybe not a 'word of the day', but rather words that are right to say on any day:

Action Burke has been following along this forum quietly for a long time.
Now, for a good while, you are back actively.

I like and appreciate that.
It's a bit like getting one of the silverbacks got back to the fold after years in the depth of the jungle.

It's good to have you back!

von Marwitz

 

[brunger]

Totally agree. I really enjoy the input pure fun and banter. Happiness is where you find it.

Phil Collins is ex genesis?

I think Peter Gabriel is more appropriate.

 

[brunger]

“In your eyes “ but probably correct

Lol I am heading to Brigadier Bacardi. I need to catch up to you guys! The AI is jicking me again so perhaps a break from Civilization is in order and concentrating on some hahas is what is needed.
