We don't swim in your toilet Please don't pee in our pool

Holy contact lenses, Batman A lot of people are saying, this is the next generation of virus transfer. So next time your SO wants to go toe-to-toe, er, eyeball-to-eyeball, ask yourself: HAVE I HAD MY SHOTS? This bout of squeamishness brought to you by the Deputy Assistant Kashmir Inquisitor for Nearby Eyeballs (DA KINE)

That "goodwill tech dealing" you guys had in mind would have increased your rate of tech growth by 25%, and increased by 50% our time to get a given dollar amount into our nations, relative to the customary 6(9)/100 which we are quite happy to maintain amongst ourselves, thank you very much. The "solid profits" would have redounded to your side in the form of rapacious and punitive "commerce," which if it were a good move economically we'd be doing already. That word, stupid, I don't think it means what you think it means. The very reason we continue this communication is that you guys are trying to ret-con a rationale for what you did, why you did it, and how smart it was. Since you continue litigating post-war, we will continue to make change at the window of our Military-Industrial Complex, presuming that at some point a grain of reason may take hold. It was precisely in the interest of meaningful peace that we continued to prosecute meaningful war. Pixels can be respawned, and if you're not willing to expend them to stay on the right side of history, what's the point of having them, anyway?

No, no, they were seriously couching this in terms of engendering post-war goodwill. 6/200, mighta been 6/300, can't remember. But really it's a question of degree, both of them 'orrible.

Johnny didn't say it was an alternative term, merely that white peace was offered as an alternative to the "goodwill" tech deals once pushed by your side.

Just stopping in to add that the word is spelled PYRRHIC

So they didn't steal it because ownership had expired.... But they're not the same anyway........... But the FTW version is better than the NG one......

Here's a fun graphic showing how things were going, toward the end there:

My dear Joseph, here are some amswers: which translates to: And this one I couldn't have put better myself:

Ponder this, all the while: Shall we sanction cleavage?

Fiat luck

Dude I heartily recommend re-evaluating your dosages

That word, self-deprecating, I don't think it means what you think it means. And whereas derogatory does indeed mean critical and disrespectful, it's not a word that's used in a construction with "self-".

Pardon me kindly, I from another planet am and neither of the light-highed wordings in your post matches my humble understand of the Englisch. What does may "self-derogative" mean? I once near the rings of Saturn saw a radio wave go by which carried wording such like "Self-deprecating" and "derogatory," and thusly wonder I whether maybe some phoneme-sound pieces crashed together, hmm? Nextly I am sure my off-world diction and grammar match not those of yourselv, but mightily do I struggle to discern (my new wording this fine day!) the full meaning of your final phrase. I see the subject, verb, and a predicate phrase, but think do I that there is a missing word or few. Precifically, what does the usage leave open? On Jupiter such a construction (although expressed telepathically) would contain either: a reflexive "itself", in which case the preposition "for" might humbly respeak as "to;" or an alternate optional noun between the adjective "open" and self-said above preposition "for." But you know those Jovians, they are so jovial and hard to pin down!

Maybe "The Short Bus" was taken?

Aw, $#!+ Dusty in here

O captain, my captain

Oof. I'm usually good for a donut anytime, but today I think I will pass.

Also agreed, old is old, or auld, according to your time zone.

Oh, I wasn't ranting, that's a whole different critter usually reserved for use of VAR and the Oxford comma. You apparently don't have any idea how much the final version of the announcement in the OP has to do precisely with the degree to which you've "won the war," as well as the degree to which our alliances "were brought to the point of irrelevance." The clarifications are yours to find, sir. No argument from me that you don't need to prove anything anymore. Bob has changed, and so too will our nations and their stats. It's not about recovering 150k NS, it's about having the sharpest teeth in the wading pool. You've done a great job as Weight-Watchers, so thanks for that. (signed), Master of Empty Words

Maybe he's still on the Julian calendar? That 10 days' difference is a real bear.

Whaat?!?!? See above That word, CyberNations, I don't think it means what you think it means I am reminded of the following: "You know you never defeated us on the battlefield," said the American colonel. The North Vietnamese colonel pondered this remark a moment. "That may be so," he replied, "but it is also irrelevant." * It got to the point, in this war, that I was reluctant to stop fighting due to the negative effect it was going to have on my cash flow. I was making more from your and others' ground forces than regular collections at my level of "infra" would have allowed. *which word, in turn, reminds me of the following apropos-of-nothing blast from the past:

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, and I can think of no better example than comparing Cobralition sigs in the OP to those of RFI. Stoppage time awaits, then on to racking up that cheap, cheap infra. Remind me, it's always collect with LCs, never collect with Banks, and dump Factories before you pump, right?
