I think long and hard about everything I write, Grendel, whether it is a piece of lighthearted spam in a joke thread or a pedantic useless whine about nothing.

EDIT - On the subject of dwarf throwers:

Recent scientific surveys at the University of Liverpool suggest that, contrary to long held dwarf throwing protocol, tying the beard of the projectile around said projectile's ankles may actually reduce aerodynamicism.

...as well as positioning said projectile where it can kiss it's ass goodbye?

Theres been a new break through in gnome technology, It's a called a Gyropult, what it does is spin the object round on an arm, round and round, and then flings it forwards. The added advantage apart from the superior speed is that the dwarf is now covered in vomit. Rather nasty for the victim, both of them!

Whoa. Why bring the old insanity thread I devoured back to light again? Not that I have any objection. (For anyone who wants more details, read the first two pages of this monolith.)

And good to see you again, fellow researcher! It's been a long time. Out in the countryside studying the effects of longterm dwarf river-skipping topedos, eh?

What's up Fable? I had just picked up KOTOR and came to the forums to look up some stuff and noticed your name. Remembered the old thread and figured you would get a laugh out of seeing it pop up. Hope all is well!

BTW, you should see the advancements I have made with multiple, soiled, infant dwarf projectiles. They don't do alot of impact damage but the stink factor is devastating.

You Beastly, horrible man! Fable quite clearly stated that underage dwarf throwing is prohibited by the something-berg convention of somewhen-48
You have warped my fragile mind!

p.s (Giles did research! )

Hrmpf...there are a select few of us, the forefathers of our beloved society, that are sactioned under specific by-laws to perform controvertial study in the interest of progress. It is just one of the sacrifices I must make for the good of future generations of dwarf throwers.

Oh, it is. Life continues, and that's saying a lot.

Is that with or without burlap diapers? And do they flap out into triangular wing extensions, like the elven hairdos temporarily made popular during the reign of Silvergloat the Culturally Deprived?

I feel obligated to bump this thread everytime I stop by. This time it is in the case of Oblivion.

Hope all is well Fable and that you are staying clear of falling Dwarves.

Why, BraveSirRobin! It has been a while, hasn't it? Thanks for bringing this scholarly thread back to view, so that many people who have not previously encountered its wisdom may do so!

For myself, I'm doing well, having just come out of another birthday. I think I may treat myself to yet another present and read this thread. I hope you'll contribute to it. I just may as well, once again. (Incidentally, I showed my wife this thread at one point. She read some of my posts, and concluded that I spent far too much time near a computer after having any caffeine in me. I take umbrage at such comments, which goes well with any kind of beverage, I'll have you know.)

Well, I'm working on an answer to one of the more esoteric queries on this last page, now, but I also have some other, less somber work to do--the kind that's required of editors who actually pay me for results. So stay tuned.

For those new to the thread, start on the first page, and just skip the links. None of them work any longer. This doesn't matter, since the heart of our consortium lies here, on GameBanshee. A true home to dwarf throwers, everywhere.
