I think you might need more time once my master plan is unleashed!

For now, things will be a bit bumpy in the next few hours. We'll see how it looks in the morning...

Gentlemen... We have not... and will not lose.

We are merely... waiting to win in a manner befitting us :wink:

I just added a TBird 1.4 I put together from scrap parts. 1 WU a day might actually make a difference now. Image

There's even a gif with my name in it in your webdir. :mrgreen:
Feel free to copy more. :)
Thanks Wrah!

I have grabbed a bunch from your link that seem to make sense for our SPCR forums. The one named after you is the one you used as your avatar sig on the KWSN forums when you were taunting them. Image Image

Ok, how about expire? Terminate? Cease to be a living organism? Assume room temperature? :lol:

Go ahead, bring on your secret weapon. Notice how we are doing this with less than half the active users you guys have? Here that whisper as we pass you? To quote Simon and Garfunkel, "It is the sound of silence."

Like a horde of killer ants, we fold on! :twisted: :twisted: :lol:

In all my years of college and teaching students, I never knew that members of the Family Formicidae folded proteins on a regular basis?! That is truly amazing! :lol: As for the 'Sound of Silence', I believe that was a contemporary metaphor relating to suicide, dispair, and depression. It's OK guys, really! DON'T take this too seriously! :shock:

I believe wgragg had the metaphor correct. MacOSxs' despair and depression as SPCR pull away.:lol: But please :!: No suicidal thoughts here...After all we love this rivalry. It brings out the best in us. (who would have thought wgragg using such appropriate, uh..ahh..what did u call it, MustangMac? A Contemporary Methaphor? :wink:

Ahh, but you see, I am an avid aficionado of the well turned pun! It is my stock in trade to mix my metaphors and make silly my simile's. Perhaps I should have written it differently. What I meant to say is that as hordes of ants march on, devouring all in sight, so we at SPCR continue our relentless march to devour any in our way.

As to the Sounds of Silence, Ray had that one right;however, I was trying to use the double entendre. Apparently it failed, or someone was deliberately not seeing it! Perhaps, after we are pass you, we can sing about Mac OS's lead, that it is, "....blowing in the wind!"

Oh, and really, the last thing I would want any of you guys to do is to commit suicide. I much prefer that you be around to witness our devastation! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

One final comment.....I agree with Shakespeare when he said that puns are the lowest form of humor. Of course, that will Joe Shakespeare, William's distant cousin! :wink:

Oh I just love a good rivalry....Keep folding guys!

No, ants, do not devour everything in their path. Most are harvesters. They do eat, however, carrion and scraps of food. Only a few species are truly threatening. Usually only due to an unfortunate misstep of the unwary. Kill the queen and all is in disarray! I think you just lost a 'queen'?! :twisted: By the way, who is Ray? Oh pundiferous one. Keep on folding!

Now didn't you ever watch any of the science fiction B movies from the fifties? You know, the one with giant ants and those who overrun entire towns and eat everything, including people? While not being scientifically accurate, it gives a good approximation of our crusade!

By the way, when I said Ray, I meant Steve. I was trying to think of two things at once (very dangerous at my age).

Just look on us as a bunch of bullet ants (I think from South America). Our bite can be very painful! Muahahahaha

Fold it bro's!
