miked10270 0 #1 March 5, 2001 Some time ago, upset at my "newbie" status, I demanded a "free upgrade". This was in the best traditions of such fine US institutions as Hertz, Delta & McDonalds who'll give anyone an upgrade just for the asking!So... What does it take to get the upgrade? Do I have to post yet another jingoistic diatribe against former colonials? Or the French?Mike D10270. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sangiro 4 #3 March 6, 2001 Ironically this was the post that got you your upgrade. As for those fine US institutions....I'm from Africa! You colonized "us" you sleazy son of a bitch! Hell, I could keep you stuck in Dropzone.com pre-puberty forever and it wouldn't make up for all those diamonds you extorted from my motherland.Where the hell do you think the 3106 carat "Cullinan" diamond, the largest ever found, that now adorns the British Crown Jewels (and I'm not talking about prince William's nads) came from? And on top of that you still can't play proper rugby.....I feel like downgrading your ass again! Safe swoopsSangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iflyme 0 #4 March 6, 2001 Haa ha haaa ha ha! C'mon, Mike - you're not gonna take that sitting down, are you? The pride of an entire nation rests on your shoulders now (ya NEWBIE)!His ancestors had a go at my country,too, Bossman... we still can't rid of their influence.

skreamer 1 #5 March 6, 2001 PlusI drove out to Skydance today to go fondle my *new* rig - there is this little thing in a car called the indicator. Why the hell don't you americans use it when you want to change lanes??? There I was driving a left-hand drive automatic on the WRONG side of the road (and no, these are NOT 3 valid reasons for me to buy beer!) and all these yanks in their fuckoff huge tanks kept swooping on me...Between snowboarding and driving on your roads, I no longer think skydiving is that risky./sPS Sangiro downgrade that 'Marius Moan-gat's' ass, I was LOL when I saw him bitching with 'enthusiast' already under his name. Classic case of small alias envy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sangiro 4 #6 March 6, 2001 Oooohhh.... but I think you're confused my young friend! Mike is not an American..... I think you might have just proven his point - even though you may have a title that supercedes his (and we all know you got that through dubious means...hehehehe) he has been here much much longer (in fact almost as long as they've had the damn diamond for!) and if you've been paying attention you would have known that!

Confession time... I felt I had to post "something" as my fiftieth (thats 50th for all my colonial friends, you know... like Hawaii... to count to "50" you get 2 friends, take off their shoes, and add up your fingers to their fingers and toes ).Interesting that our Great Leader transpires to be South African. I can now understand his character. Some years back I went there and happened to stopover in Amsterdam en-route for a few days (& yep, I'm pretty sure that the Dutch airport police still have my pic on the wall... they also have a plentiful supply of surgical gloves)!! I was struck by how "laid-back" the Dutch were as a people. Then I flew on to Johannesburg and it was there that I learned that the reason the Dutch in Holland are so relaxed is that they exported all their psychos & lunatics to SA in the 18th & 19th centuries! After all, any sane man faced with his girlfriend wanting a nice engagement ring would just nip down to the jewellers, not dig up half the country to get the stuff to make one!
