This is a particularly brilliant one, started by me, with lots of swearing (from other people) and PeterB and MWNH going at each other over Mad Cow disease (among other things) and a whole lot of tomfoolery.

Just for clarification:

You said tomfoolery right?

You sure as hell did.

My post was quite restrained.

But it's interesting to see how our present moderator, Peter, was so....eloquent back then.

Don't you think?

Actually, I always rather enjoyed Peter's calm, reasonable posting. :biggrin: Seriously, I looked forward to RiscRetard's posts, knowing Peter would soon correct him.

That ordeal was the Battlefront equivalent of Seinfeld. It was a show about nothing, but it touched me somehow.

The state of being osy (pronounces "OH-see"). General silliness, preferably light-hearted.

I hereby announce my patent on the word "osy." Feel free to use it; 2 rubles per usage, with volume discounts available. :D

Heh...

Wow... now that was a bit of a blast from the past.

I guess the battlefront just is not the same any more with MWNH being his typical cutilicious self as of late. Now we have people like The_Titman, Enema (I mean ema) and the collection of ABM loonies... After all it's all meant to be open and free right?

I don't understand everyones gripe with the OS'ers

colour me naive, but I need an explaination. :confused:
