Well the sun is coming up and I'm drinking a final glass of wine. Haven't touched a machine gun all night. Rifles only now, and I enjoy the game more using the M-1 or the '03. Tried the Mauser some too. Wow Goodfellows was packed tonight! Often I couldn't get in: Server Full. I enjoyed trading shots with Atima in Remagen. Anyway, summer vacation is great. I love staying up all night. Had a good last snipe-fest on the 33rd[SS]. Wish I could have won it. On my way to 100 snipe kills (I hope).

I found out last night that if you snipe on Goodfellas, people start cussing at you. Do players cuss you out on the 33rd?

By the way, nice score!

I hope so. That means you're takin' care of business!

ML

What's up with those dogs on Toolclan? They're hard as hell to kill, and you don't get anything if you kill them, but if they kill you it costs a death. Anyone have any tips on bow wow. I hate them.

Saw a funny sight Saturday night. You know how TC has those fires in the bomb craters? I was hiding in a building in DV when I saw a tough-luck noob running on fire (kinda pretty to see), with a friggin' dog on his ass. I needed a kill, so I put him out of his misery.

This is Sunday night; had a better game on my way to 100!

WOW ML, you're gettin' on up there. Hope you will remember me when.
Now go to bed; quit staring at your stats.

BB

I guess this is like a diary. I haven't been posting much lately, so this is it. Friday night is usually where I make my stats for the week, but not tonight. My first game on GF was a disaster. I went 0 and 4 in twenty seconds, and three of those deaths were from my own brother: the camping bastard. The sad part is, I never saw any of them. I played one more round in Remagen with all the great players on my side. I got one kill. So I ended the night on GF 1 and 4. Sucks don't it?

I'm trying to learn the rifle. I still can't fight up close worth a dang. Flame, If you would give me some hints, I would appreciate it. Anyway, I didn't have much success all night, no mater what server I played on. The best I could do was sniping on the 33rd:

Dear Diary...I mean Dear ML,
Don't feel too bad as everyone has an off night once in a while. Kinda sounds like you're singing a line from that C&W song "I ain't as good as I once was.....but once I'm as good as I ever was!



EliXiR

Well yea,

It's been a tough night. I'm still standing at 5:30 am, however. Just got my best Crossroads:

The saying that my Daddy told me was: I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.

ML

Well, ya know he probably got it right. As we say down on the Llano "Pappy knows best". BTW..those stats you posted look pretty kick-ass. Glad to see you
perked up again during the night. Crossroads is cool. Steve Via feels he got some of his personal best scores there also. I sometimes here him a saying
"meet me down at the Crossroads for a little hot running and gunning". Then I scoot to get my 6-shooter or my rifle and we get down and get with it.
Yeah Mona, 100 is still in sight for you.



EliXiR

Ironic....

Nice scores! very impressive i must say...good job and if they cuss at you shoot them again!


anger through kindness is torture!

Elixir,

So you're from West Texas?

ML

nice scores! however none from goodfellas? We need our severs to be full and with your help and others we can do that!! take a few minutes to get our severs up and goin!

-Slim

I know Slim, but now that summer vacation has completely changed my sleep cycle, whenever I'm ready to play (late at night) no one is on GF. That's why I've been playing on the 33rd.

Question for you. How do you fight up close with the rifle? I know you're an excellent shot; please give me some pointers. Send me a PM if you would rather.

ML

Mona,
Good guess but no. If you know anything about Texas you know the
west is vast and I born and bred (or should it be "bred and born") more in
what is know as the Heart of Texas. Yes, a real Texan not just a yankee
import like so many nowdays. They drive me nuts. How about you?

As for fighting, well shoot, I have lots to learn. But WTH it's fun.


EliXir

Isn't the "Heart of Texas" Brady? I've hunted dove there many times. Had a few romantic moments on the banks of the Guadalupe also.

ML

Well now Mona sounds like you know your way around. But Texas
has a "Big Heart" so just expand your landscape to enclude places
like Pontotoc, Fredonia, Cherokee, and a little bit north and south.
Ya know, like toward Austin.

So a girl like you likes to hunt dove...well, well. Do you like to eat
them also? And romance; there are many romantic cowboys in the
area.

EliXiR

Oh yea, I eat what I kill. Gathered around the campfire, with my family and friends, a strip of bacon and a jalapeno pepper, makes a tasty meal (if you eat about 12, a daily limit). Of course, many Coors Lights really make the meal a winner. I clean my own dove kill too. Do you hunt?

ML

I hate to sound like such a brute, killing poor animals, ripping them apart for their flesh, and then enjoying a ceremony of self-gratification and indulgence under the starlit night skys of North Texas, the Milky Way so bright, but that's how I was raised. I stopped wearing a boot knife long ago, really!

ML

Now Monie honey, you don't sound like a brute to me and no need to
be politically correct with me: Hey now, we know what we are! The
scene you described of being around the campfire after the hunt under
the mystic Texas starlit sky is one I have forever engrave in my heart.
I have been there many times and love everything about it.

As a reminder: Never stand downwind from what you are plucking!



EliXiR

I don't pluck them; I rip them apart in a most efficient but yet disgusting way. Sometimes, I feel sorry for them, the animals that I kill, until a drop of their warm blood falls on my boot. Then the hunt is on! El Deguello!

I'm trying to present a more pleasant image here, however. Have you ever climbed Enchanted Rock? It's near where you're from, outside of Fredericksburg. I enjoyed going there; it's a State Park.

ML

Now, I've been part of a lot of these dove hunts, and to my memory, Mona hasn't plucked or ripped shit for a number of years. Shot them, yes. Eat them, oh yes. But the part with the cleaning in them -- yeah, right!

Oh yeah, what exactly do they do to drive you crazy?

BB

Oh my god, Elixir, don't get her started. Bardot is from Illinois, now a "Texan."

ML

Oh come on, you taught me the technique. I haven't cleaned as many as you, and really, deep down it bothers me. So yea, I'd rather you do it. I'll do the gunning, you do the cleaning. HA HA!

ML

Yes, It is great to see lots of family fun out in the hunting fields!!!!

EliXiR

Hey Elixir, ever been to Palestine, TX? Lots of nice farms and ranches there.

ML

ML

girl....you are just asking so many questions.

Geezzzzeee... I will try to answer.
Have I been to E-ROCK ? Of course , who hasn't.
Have I been to Palestine? Isn't that in the Middle -East?
And I thought Bardot was from FRANCE and now you say
Illinois...OMG I need to pour myself a drink so I can think
about this. What about you? Have you been to Crawford?


Lixie

bardot was in playboy



i smell some ....


romantic

[quote=EliXiR,06/25/05 10:17pm]Had a few romantic moments on the banks of the Guadalupe also.

ML

[/quote]

Last time I was on the banks of the Guadalupe was about 6 years and I left them in handcuffs. So I try not to go back there anymore.
We're shooting our latest film on Lake Tawokoni in NE Tex starting next week!

Yea, what kind of film? Caught a 5 lb. bass there once. My dad had it mounted because it was the only fish we caught all day.

ML

A horror film, of course.

Are you going to bring back Leatherface? You know Ramos is in the film industry. I thought you were a bartender?

Thanks for letting me know. When was she in Playboy; which issue? Send it to Maddcapp.

BB

i have the 50th edition....she is in the mix of famous playboy bunnies.... i can tell you what page but it will be a day...got to go to the attic....

I am a bartender, as are the two other guys that make up Texas Dream Imaging. We just started making shorts, and putting them in festivals, and now we are going for our first feature. However, I did not write this script, so it kinda sucks. Oh, well. You can read my blog for more info.

Hi Bardot cheri,
Sometimes you just want to be friends with someone and give them
a big welcome hug and kiss and ask them out for some BBQ or un croissant
and un verre de rouge...and when perhaps they may feel shy or unsure or
afraid....now that just drives me crazy!
I always loved Bridgett. She was into BIG BLONDE HAIR and that
has always won points in Texas!

EliXiR

One of my better rounds for 13 minutes.

[MOB, please ignore this: Code: We know! This is not your party.]

Let me know how it turns out. Perhaps, you can show us a clip.

ML

Holy shit, your an even bigger camp than you were before tsk tsk

Most excellent Job! How did you do that in such a short time?

EliXir

Thanks Stockguy. I found a spot where they just keep coming and dying. During that battle, I actually ran out of ammo with the '03. You got to see it to believe it. The '03 is slow to reload. What I need is an M-14.

When you snipe you got to camp!

ML
