CANTINA COMMENTS
"We kick ass." -LC Janich
"Okay, since I'm still 30 e-mails away from today's stuff, have we started this yet? Any group that calls themselves the Rat Pack without including me needs a severe smackdown." -GN Compton
Old Lambda Flight III Nickname: The Artists
New Flight III Nickname: Proton's Terror
Status: ** APPROVED **
"Oh, hell ... ;) " -VA Proton
"I wondered how long it'd take you to find that out. :) I don't write
them, I just put them in to be approved. And when it's Free, you really
have to question approving it." -MAJ Mike
"It's valid, though! Examples:
Freelancer: "Hey, Proton! Wait up, I got this great new idea for the
ship!!"
Proton: "AAAAAAHHHH" *runs*
Freelancer: "Um... Proty... whatever you do don't look in your
locker..."
Proton: "L! S! D! NO!!! Medbay emergency!!!"
Freelancer: "Oh, yeah, guys... I kinda picked a fight with Wing II
about their MB colors... Thought I'd let you know.."
Proton: "When... does.. the hurting.. stop?" -LC Freelancer
"Hey, Mike.... Puce is a shade of green man... :P " -LC Freelancer
"heh heh.
While we're at it, how about if Wing I wins, then General Ford has to refer to himself in first person, instead of third person?" -COL Gen Es'mith
"Scary? You want scary?? I'll scare your SOCKs off! Just watch!
"Booga booga! I just got promoted to SovCom!" -LC "Scary" Freelancer
"you are now under a spell:
You have just forgotten that your new wing commander sent this (MSE) report to the Wing I mailing list instead of the Sovereign Commodore.
That is all, go back to your drinking." -COL Es'mith
"Huh? Wha... too...drunk...to...remem...CLUNK." -MAJ Mike
"Now, your office. HERE is form 597-L. The L is for Liquor. These are
the acquisition forms for surplus booze. These forms here are for
emergency orders when supplies are totally drained (it happens.. why
just recently a CERTAIN pilot *cough*Kronar*cough* destroyed almost
all our stock recently). MEMORIZE THIS 1-800 NUMBER! It's for the
Wing I Med Bay Liver Kidney and Toxins department. Call THIS number
if you don't know what's wrong with a pilot. Chances are it's booze
related." -MAJ Mike or LC Freelancer or someone else -- Proton forgot to get the attribution at the time
"::looks at the document::
You realize that this is how Wings II - VI have been getting all their booze?
There is no such thing as surplus booze.
From now on there will be no official requests for booze. All our booze will
come from rebel or pirate interlopers and if need be from other wings, and if
that's not enough, then we'll have to ferment FA Kramer's left over hangerful
of Sprite." -COL Gen Es'mith
"wait...don't ferment the sprite!!! It mixes well to have a little fun with.
It wont knock you on your arse but it'll still be good after a while." -CPT Phoenix
"And remember...........Team SIC mascots are watching you!
S = Skiny - the paranoid protocol droid who bores your ass off with tales from the past.
I = Iggy - The Salacious Crumb with a love for heavy metal.
C= Colin - the swearing grumpy astro droid.
And lets not forget, Sicky`s side-kick, the one and only Pip........The Imperial Dog, with a love of alcohol and a voicebox, this wise cracking boosehound can be seen frequently in the watering hole of Wing V..........Airlock#21" -GN SickMan
"Sicky`s Dribble of the week " You call that a ship? (points at a shuttle) Now thats a ship (points at the SSSD Sovereign) " -GN SickMan
CANTINA COMMENTS, SPECIAL EDITION

"E Tu, Wolly?" -LC Sasquatch
Wing II: We put the "er..." in Beer.² -CM Mike
"Careful, we don't want to start tromping on the copyright infringement
stuff here. "Fruit of the Loom" already owns "Admiral Kessler's One piece
Nighties". We don't want to have to explain ourselves in court." -CM Mike
"Kramer, it looks as if your fish seems a little depressed. I would gaurd
the toilets, he might just flush HIMSELF down the toilet. *Mike thinks of
all
the things he could buy* Yea, fish suicide.
hm,hm,hm,ha,ha,ha,HA,HA,HA,MUUUHHHAAAAHHHAAAHHAAAA!!!!" -CPT Mike
"Look mommie, I flew all by myself, AND I came in ahead of Gary Bauer in the
New Hampshire primaries." -CPT Mike
"Try the Doors at say 3 or 4 in the morning after you've pulled some kind of
allnighter. There's quite a moving experience, even without artificial
enhancers." -MAJ Gen Es'mith, during Supremacy Series Round 3.
"I pity da foo dat thinks Rho isn't all that!" -MAJ Freelancer
Wing II: "Second to none, third to the buffet, eighth for the unwanted
escort duties, and twenty-sixth in line for the British crown..." -MAJ
Freelancer, 1999
"Wing II: Keeping Inkwolf busy, whether with dissolved colons or with psych
reports
Wing II: A paperclip! A paperclip! My colon for a paperclip!" -LC Freelancer
"*Sign on door to Wing II barracks* "Your colon must be this (little ewok
sign points its hand) dissolved to enter" -LC Freelancer
"Wing II: "Can't "stomach" the colon jokes? Got a "gut" feeling that they're
bad? Then run, run, fast as you can, we'll catch up to you, we dissolve your
colon, man!" -MAJ Freelancer
Wing II: We tell our COM to shut up and wear the damned GoE... What do you
do?² LC Freelancer
³Wings I, III, IV, V, and VI: Safe from Scorpion attacks, Debriefing Rooms
21 through 30, and Dark Troopers.² -FA Kramer
"Wing II: The question you gotta ask yourself is.... Does your colon feel
dissolved? Well... does it? PUNK!" -LC Freelancer
Wing II: "Is that a QotW in your pocket, or is it just another colon
joke?"--MAJ Harkonnen
