I just wanted to stop by and give my opinion on something...

Wow, I just hit this thread for the first time and skimmed through it. All I want to say is, if you don't have a sense of humor about yourself, and if you can't laugh at the absurdity of what we're doing here, you're in the wrong hobby. Let's face it, if you're an adult, dressing up in a play movie costume pretty much screams "mock me". I for one am OK with that.

Plus I admit I am an "elitist" and I do so enjoy making fun of those I deem geekier than I. It's theraputic and makes me feel better about myself.

Great thread guys...

.....confusion strikes!

OK... that was pretty funny. Can't tell you how many times I hear "well, at least we aren't kligons/elves/rpgers/etc. So funny that we tend to rank ourselves when the whole outside world just lumps us all together as geeks.

one hundred four posts.........WOW see what I missed when I went to Texas to hang out.....

I think his point was that if we're are goin to emulate a culture because we admire their qualities we should put our all into it as a sign of respect (not to mandos, to the Maori and all island cultures). Also there are some of us who want to learn the Werda or help to form it to a point where we can perform it at and during trooping events to add the fun of it all.

Here are a few link about the haka. The first is more traditional, the second is a rugby team performing the Haka to intimidate the other team. (Look at the face of the other team)

The only look on that Irish team was one of hangover and the need to drink more and headbutt someone...lol

i read this whole thread and i'm still confused

I'm not even gonna touch this thread, other than to say no wonder people think were geeks

I love you guys.

That's all I'm going to say.

Other than that I do want to learn the Haka.


Oh, and I put the show up on youtube with a formal apology, I think it's in part 3 of the show. Just go to www.youtube.com/odditynerds if you want to check it out.

Mostly comic book reviews, and my friend does a short Legacy review in part 3.

But, I did apology both in the forums and in person, so that completely absolves me of the crime!

HAH!

The High Clam lord was way ahead of his time. Had he waited until...oh... say.... now... to have made his first post here he may have had some takers. The wars in Iraq and Afganistan would be swayed by whichever side could pay his clan the most (thankfully that would have been our side!) and we would all have to apply for a passport to go to a certain part of...where was it...colorado?


In all seriousness, I agree that the use of the fictional language should be kept way to a minimum. Why not start a new subsection of the dented varient boards that is OK to use the language, and make the everything else "real language only". There is a time and place for everything and each of us has our own level of geek to contend with.

and we would all have to apply for a passport to go to a certain part of...where was it...colorado?

To our base on Mars, I thought. I have 4 acres with a panoramic view of the sun.

Again, the only thing I said that wasn't english was Dha Werda Verda...and it's really just a title.

It got changed to mars after we all said that it wouldn't work because all the land here on earth has been claimed and no country would let him break away....boy were we wrong

OK... OK... We went from poking a little fun to running it into the ground! Yes, the mandalore "culture" seems a bit odd to many of us, but some members want to embrace it. Last I saw, there were no rules against it, so can we move on already?

Just kidding Vod an, beskar'gam, Da Werda.

Man that Braks... what a jerk.
