Sounds great, Skyweir! My email is very simple:
bushhog@teacher.com or savant_1@msn.com
Either is fine.
Danlo, I'm not sure how the games part of the forum would work. It might require us to stay on too long, whereas email playing is a "make a move when you get a chance" kind of thing.
Let the match begin!! Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i>

'As you wish .. Good King!!

I will contact you henceforth ..

Play well noble sire

.. may the God's smile down on your hand is my most humble prayer for a worthy opponent such as yourself ..

*bows and gestures toward the chess board*


I'll be gentle ..

mmm .. by the way .. 'bush hog' .. very endearing .. in Australian we would hunt you down and call you 'bush pig' .. nice eh? Maybe you have chosen this intriguing nic as an intimidation tactic???

It wont work m'lord .. health and healing<i>Edited by: Skywier  at: 5/22/02 11:16:02 pm

LOL Skyweir! As way of an explanation of "bushhog": My last name is Bush, and there used to be a TV series called <i> Welcome Back Kotter</i> (about a teacher), and he called his class "Sweathogs". So I began (lovingly) calling my students the "Bushhogs". Thus I became the Bushhog!
Funny you should mention "bush pig". I have a picture of one in my classroom. Never really saw one called a bush hog. I think bush hog has something to do with a machine that clears brush and the like (at least here in America).
Looking forward to the game!

Well, I have won the toss and made the first move. I hope it survives cyber space. I am excited: last time I did something like this, it was by mail. We played for about a year then I lost the address, and the other player never bothered to check out why I didn't send any further moves. With email, this will be a lot better!
Now, if you'll tell Danlo and the others to hold down the noise so that we can concentrate, and watch those darts! One almost went through my shoe awhile ago!
A cold brew does sound good! Maybe some fried catfish as well? Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i>

I too am excited .. I am looking forward to a number of good games .. as my chess senses perceive there be a number of good games in you waiting to be played ..

I realise it will not be a quick game .. but I do hope with email .. it will not take as long as 12 months to play out the entire game ..

In between moves perhaps we should give these blokes a few darts lessons .. once I remove this one from the seat of my .... chair!!!! ... and to think the dart board is in the opposite direction!!!!

.. geesh amateurs!! LOL ..

ahh .. nice here by the fire .. aint it m'lord? too bad about the puddle near your feet .. mmm .. I am assuming that's melted ice there m'Lord .. from your skates ..

(*remembers the dart that almost skewered his Kingship's foot .. and .. wonders??*) health and healing<i></i>

was that really an "errant" dart, or not? Could Lord Sky have a sercet ally purposely distracting the King? Have the mind games already begun? Oh the intrigue! And who said watching a chess game need b boring?! Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i></i>

I suspect a Bobbie Fisher clone. To update you, 5 moves have been made thus far, and I've wiped up the water from around my chair. Actually it was cold outside Ahira's Hanger, and it was just the snow and ice melting as we sat by the fire. The darts have stopped momentarily as there seems to be a crowd gathering around the chess masters. My foot has been bandaged by Ahira's resident medical lady. Now, about those stonewall pawns...

U're in the Master Pilot's bar in the Farsider's Quater silly! If u were in the Carvern of a Thousand Lightships u'd be close 2 the Hangar (w/an a!) but all u would c is The Snowy Owl sitting 2 rest w/a bunch of journeymen, nuerologicians & mechanics walking around doing their jobs! And the med-tech! They r no med-techs in this bar--it's every Pilot 4 himself--passing ur Jarcadian whore off as a med-tech, forsooth! C, now it's Lord Pilot Theoden playing heads games with us all! Either that or he's drunk! Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 12/14/02 9:05:11 pm

I resemble that remark! Not only did I not know where I was (I confess ignorance on occasion), but I also forgot that the dart missed my foot. Maybe that <b> was</b> a <i> lady of the evening</i> (as you surmised). Bring some black coffee immediately!

I will resend the move. Maybe I forgot to push "send" (but no, because I sent a cc and got it). Will go and do the move now! Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i>
