Sergeant O'Flaherty sober is a sign of the Apocalypse

Quiet possibly.

All we need now is the four horsemen of the O'Flah Apocalypse. Drunk, Disorderly, Peeing in Public and Screaming About How He Left His Phone Down There On The Pub Counter A Minute Ago And Now Someone's Gone And Knicked It... Wait Sorry It Was In My Back Pocket All Along.

*Squints at the horizon*

Oh wait, there they are!

Oh, yes, I see them!

*Still squinting at the horizon*

Yup, there they are. Drunk has fallen off his horse though.

Quick question... what is a Hurdy-gurdy. I have images in my head of a hip 1950's dance. But some how I feel that might not go down well in a medieval fair.

Been ing on my PS?

It's one of these babies:

Basically, it's a violin with a crank and wheel instead of a bow, and a keyboard for playing it...

Sounds like so:

I play the fiddle. Its a nice little money earner. €100 a session in a pub, and basically half way through the night everyone is so drunk that you could be eating a packet of cheese and onion crisps and they would still try and sing along.

Musical appreciation is nice.

My sister only plays the violin, fiddles are nicer

Can I ask you a question? Do you, as a Beta RPGer, care about the next O'Flaherty post, or is it just annoying as he rarely actually talks to anyone else and all his posts are maily he thoughts.

*pauses*

Or am I mental and reading into this way way too much.

No, we *love* O'Flaherty! Should hear the people brag who get a chance to talk to him, and he always makes us laugh. Wouldn't want to miss him! He enriches the experience

I mean, look at all the movies & comic books where the fun part is the little things happening in the background.

I've got a warm fuzzy feeling inside... And it isn't alcohol derived!

Long live O'Flah then... how ever long his sobriety will last is another thing.

Well, you deserve it. And have an anyway.

I'd been suspecting that

I'm kinda running out of stuff for him to do on the ship, so I reckon his next post will be a sobriety induced flash back to a battle.

Should be fun.

poor guy

If you need help with something in there, say the word. Maybe I can earn a badge He can go drinking with Teniente Miguel Xavier Alejandro Todos los Santos y Ocho Más, or something

I might take you up on that.

*Makes a note of this.*

*Makes another note about the position of the 1st note because he always forgets where he leaves them*

*Makes a third note on the position on the 2nd note*

*Makes a note to see a psychiatrist*

*Makes a not on the position of that note*

Right, danke.

*whistles a happy tune*

I'm in a good mood today. Got two good albums, Thin Lizzy - The Greatest Hits and The Raconteurs, found a book I haven't read in an age and thought I had lost, and I just bought a lottery ticket and currently reevaluating on my natural distrust of prayer because of the aforementioned lottery ticket.

Hope it works, then, though I'd better not calculate the chances of winning for you

Wanted a badge, did you?

Yup.


*Polishes badge*

I see

I like the anagram

Decided to jump on the band wagon myself.

Another one of mine was "Erase Hull", but I quiet like Hull.

Yeah, I like yours, too.
