*BELLS RINGING* THE TIME HAS COME!

@ABWorsham:

I was sixteen years old; it was the Christmas of 1996. I had been playing Risk and heard stories of a WWII game called Axis and Allies. I found the game at Toys-R-Us. My dad thought I was crazy paying over fifty dollars for a board game, but he did like the picture of Rommel on the front cover.

I was Germany my first game. Five of us played. I remember attacking capturing all of Africa. My friend’s father gave up saying the game was too long for his taste.

I wonder what your dad would have thought if he’d known that, a few years in the future, a two-part Global 1940 game costing about three times as much would come on the market, and I wonder what your friend’s dad would have thought if he’d known that this Global 1940 game would take about three times as long to play.

He would just shake his head in disbelief. Dad is very cheap.

Anyone who watched both Battle of Britain and Dunkirk understands which of the two is a better war movie

By the way I once visited the Washington Navy Yard, where one of the Enterprise’s anchors is on display. � That was a real treat to see.

I was in Seattle last year and looked out onto the Sound and knew that the navy yard was just a few miles across the way. Wish I could have gotten over there.

Um, I was referring to Washington D.C.  I’d love to visit the naval facilities in the Puget Sound area, but the only place on the West Coast where I’ve been is San Diego – which I was lucky enough to visit at the day when the USS Midway crossed over to the pier where she became a museum ship.  I still have the CV-41 baseball cap I picked up as a souvenir.

My apologies, I thought you were talking about Bremerton, WA. I didn’t know that DC had a navy yard, being on a river and all.

I don’t see it as a proof of God

Neither do I, I dont believe in God.

What’s the purpose of your analogy?

<shrugs>Whats the purpose of any philosophical discourse?

My analogy is my way of comprehending God. Both for my own benefit, and for discussions with others. The analogy provides a starting point, this is how I concieve of a Judeo-Christian type God (omnipotent, omniscient, etc.) This helps me to process and analyze any new information or new question that may arise regarding God, and gives me a basis for discussions with other people. It is to that end that I am trying to further develop it, because the end goal of a theory on any topic is comprehensiveness w.r.t. that topic, in this case, God. It proves nothing, and doesnt attempt to.</shrugs>

LOL Thread Necro!  This topic died 8 years ago!

The Monitor- (and CSS Virginia Their battle at Hampton Roads
made all other Navis obsolete!

lol me, my brother, and my cousins used to love Army Of Darkness :lol:

I love horror movies though…The Ring was very cool. Also read a lot of Stephen King stuff, and I’ve seen a few of his movies. My fav book of his was probably Misery! One of the few books I’ve read that REALLY had me in suspense. If any of you are King fans and haven’t read this book, I recommend it! :D

As for horror movies though, i own Misery, Children of the Corn, Pet Sematary, IT, the Scream trilogy…(From Dusk til Dawn, The Faculty, Signs) <== not REAL horror movies, but you know what I mean!

And I did like the Blair Witch Project. I was really mad though when I was informed it wasn’t real :x :cry:

ok, thanks
