THE SHELTON IS MY MOVE!

Remember Victory Streak

Let's see your Dreadnoughts Shelton.

Besides. Once you named the move, and put it into handbooks, et al, the move became that of the Public Domain. You can't claim royalties, or complain when your entire battleforce is destroyed by a young pilot who uses it to his (or her) advantage.

Fair is fair.

True. But I will r0x0r you in my shuttle! I am the bestest shuttle pilot in the world! Maniac flew Blair in one and defected with Captain Eisen in one!

Feel the power.

Reality check:

~waits for a second of eerie silence:~

I'm not Blair.

~waits for reality to settle in:~

Besides. Blair, unlike Maniac, learned from his mistakes.

 

[Col.Dom]

but Maniac had style and finesse. I always think back to the gold watch speech

 

[Anagram]

I can not remember that speech...
I guess I have a personal V-Chip designed to tune out Maniac...
Please, however, enlighten me...

 

[Wedge009]

It's when Maniac is 'advising' Catscratch how to fly. Makes a point of Blair retiring with 'only' a gold watch for a reward, Blair replies to Catscratch that he must choose between a gold watch and a coffin.

My favourite comic scene in the whole of WC. This one still makes me laugh.

 

[Anagram]

Thanks. I remember it now.

I choose ... coffin.

For my enemies.

 

[Col.Dom]

When Maniac gave that speech, I was like "Totally dude." He made a very good point there....

I agree with you, Wedge- it's a hallmark of Maniac's comedic value

 

[mpanty]

Everything Maniac says are good points to you, so your opinion is pretty much worthless...

 

[Skyfire]

Hehe. Remind me not to have Dom on my wing anytime soon.

Bad llama!

Leave dead threads alone.

 

[TC]

I, personally, like "Let sleeping threads lie"

 

[WildWeasel]

I was originally going to say "let dead threads lay," but it just didn't sound as good.

 

[dacis2]

hmm, is your grammar correct? it does not sound right...

 

[WildWeasel]

Probably not. That's most likely why it didn't sound as good to me.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Lock 'em if you don't want them aroused.

 

[WildWeasel]

You're asking them to lock every single thread that's died over the past three years. It's easier to simply ask posters not to be stupid.

Maybe Stunner is a BobMcDob minion who wants to dig his name out of his tomb.
