A: The rest of the bar. 
Well, I tried to help Fenris before, so I guess I should try again.
In the spirit of Fenris’ very own talents, here’s my attempt to help with a view and a post that do absolutely nothing to aid Scylla’s cause:
ahem
Postin’
(Sung to the tune of “Rawhide”)
Postin’, postin’, postin’,
Some with quotes in boldin’
Keep that post count growin’
Postin’!
Scylla’s wife will win at tennis
Ther’ll be Amish kids who menace
He’ll have a heat-struck Elmo by his side
Open ‘em up!

It’s for Fenris,
Postin!
And no kittens or koalas were harmed in the posting of this message.
I just want you to know, we’re all counting on you.
Good luck.
I thought we were all counting against him…like this is 43 and counting…
Um, dorkbro? Fenris was referring to Oz, as in The Wizard of. Not as in the nickname of Australia. Dorothy, Toto, et al. I’ll get you my pretty. And such.
Fenris, I’m disappointed with the lack of mention of any groundhogs.
Preposition trouble?
No, I think thinksnow is making a reference to the movie, Airplane. You know, when Robert Hays is trying to bring the plane in, Leslie Nielsen keeps popping into the cockpit, saying the line that thinksnow posted, and leaving. Even after the aircraft is stopped on the ground.
Well, just make sure you don’t look up…then you’ll go crazy and die thinking about starving Italians…trust me on this one…
- Rico has no nationality. When the veterans took over, and created a global society, the earth became one nation. The Federation. He becomes a citizen with franchise upon successful completion of his term of enlistment.
Does anybody think Scylla will realize that number 14 is being answered by Cecil today?
Wring, how do you get these guys to fight each other instead of trying to take you down?
Thanks, Spoons, I got the reference. I was just making a play on the word “counting”. Sorry mine didn’t also contain a movie reference, guess it looked like a left-turn to you.
BTW, I don’t see any prepositions in our above exchange. I think you meant to say “Pronoun Trouble” as in the classic Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny exchange…
Daffy: "Aha! Prrrrronoun trouble!..It’s not ‘He doesn’t have to shoot you now,’ it’s ‘He doesn’t have to shoot ME now.’
“Well I say he DOES have to shoot me now! So shoot me now!” – BLAMM!
[sup]Fenris must be smiling with curious amusement at the fact that debate springs up over Airplane and Bugs Bunny instead of Starship Troopers. [/sup]
Oh, and Spoons, I loved the Rawhide parody!
Does Dr. Scylla meet his fate when both the post count AND the view exceed the alotted numbers, or when the post count OR the viw count exceed the alotted numbers?
You know, I was thinking about the Bugs/Daffy “pronoun trouble” thing, but it was the difference in meaning caused by the prepositions in your post and in thinksnow’s that struck me. So, I went for that instead of playing with pronouns, and I was hoping someone would get the oblique Bugs/Daffy reference.
Here’s where the prepositions are:
Thinksnow wrote:
…counting on you.
And, Paul, you wrote:
…counting against him.
On and against are both prepositions.
(Bugs and Daffy and Airplane and now grammar. I’m sure Fenris is wondering if he really wants this kind of help.)
Oh, and thanks for the compliment, Paul!
I’ve been away from the boards for a long time. So I don’t really know what’s going on here. But I do know this:
One time when I was just a wee lad I was collecting octopi (plural of octopus?) in a 5 gal water container to add to my salt water tank. Just then this twatrake came up to me, a helpless, poor, defenseless, non-voting child and started reaming me for removing the octopi from the tide pools. She went on and on about how others won’t be able to enjoy them, and asked “How many do you have in there, like 30?” She uttered the question with detectable amounts of sarcasm. Then I said “No, like 8.” with as much sarcasm as I could summon. To get to the point when I went back up the beach where my friend’s dad was he started informing me of the evils of the liberals n’ stuff.
So I’m against whichever one of you would have yelled at me for getting the octopuses (change up). Someone let me know where I stand, then I’ll post/answer accordingly.
I’m against the evironment, and favor the killing of baby animals.
If I’d have been there I would have fed her to the octopi, returning her to the food chain she so professes to love.
Johnny Rico was indeed Filipino. It was the Tagalog, plus the reference at the end to the great Filipino president, Ramon Magsaysay.
This has got to be playing fast and loose with the rules of engagement…
So just the Luger question needs to be answered?
Just to clear up any confusion:

Answered, but Scylla wants to debate it (He says Juan has no nationality). Have at him, folks! Let’s debate the topic! Use lots and lots of short posts!

**wring and Munch **: I considered grounhogs, but they seemed too obvious.
Snickers, it’s the part after that…the gitchy-gitchy yaya part.
Spoons: Great parody, man. Plst some more! Here! In this thread!!!
Zebra: I think I’m gonna complain about Cecil helping Mad Dr. Scylla!
Paul the Younger I really thought the debate would be over Starship Troopers, but hell! I’ll take Airplane and Chuck Jones cartoons if necessary.
Monster104 “or” not “and”
Um. Jeweler’s daughter here. and I can tell you from experience that there’s nothing about the rules of engagement that have anything to do with either this thread or the one listed. In the first place, Fenris & Scylla are not engaged - as a matter of fact, Scylla is married and from what I recall isn’t into that whole plural marriage stuff. Or at least that’s what his wife told him.
In the second place (leans over as someone whispers in her ear) [sub] what? they’re talking about other kind of engagement? well, what the hell other kind is there??? hmmm, yea, uhuh, hmmm, reallY? you’re kidding? really? war you say? well, some marriages are more like… what? ohhhhhhhhh. well that’s very different)[/sub]
[emily latille voice on] Nevermind [emily latille voice off]
***** (note, this way I got to yet again post to the thread to increase the chances of Fenris being sucessful)
Wring?
The jeweler’s daughter?
Your killing me here.
[sub]Another meaningless post, brought to you by the letter S [/sub]
