Movie-Style Duel

Looking forward to seeing what this develops into, but I can't shake the feeling that Cat and I are overdue for a trip to Dreekius's establishment on Stros M'Kai (Mmm-kay?) and getting a few drinks under our belts, and then ticking off some Forebears by saying something like, "I hear that Baron Volag wears a corset!"

(hmmm, looks like I'm having trouble posting images as well. what's the deal? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> )

One thing you might want to check out for sword fighting banter, other than as Lady Cat suggests, <u>The Princess Bride</u>, is the movie, <u>Zorro, The Gay Blade!</u> as there are jokes in that movie that still make me laugh. One exchange between Zorro and the Alcalde' goes something like this;

Alcalde': Is your sword as sharp as your tounge? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Zorro: Is yours as dull as your wit? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

and later on in the movie,

Alcalde': You are getting clumsy my friend! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Zorro: To be your friend I'd have to be more than clumsy, I'd have to be stoopid! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I'm going to have to check out my Dumas books and look for some especially pithy lines... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
I can fix that, Petros was having the same trouble and he came up with this solution - you have to change the url so it directly points to the picture, not a php script.

Here's his post on it: <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=5385&st=0&p=105863#" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?sho...&st=0&p=105863#</a> #12 (scroll down)

Some pithy lines to add would be GREAT, Sir Christopher, I have been wondering where you have been because I KNEW you'd get into that mod suggestion, LOL! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Stros M'kai as a destination would be lovely - I did a small cruise around some of the Reguard websites the other day and came across some screenshots that had me all nostalgic. I just did a bit of a system upgrade and have a 2.5GB pull out drive that I'm going to configure to Win98SE so I can play Redguard again. Glidos never seemed to work for me for some reason. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Ha! Thank you Lady Cat, Petros and Inez! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />

I know I tend to use a thousand words, but I'm not sure they're worth a picture! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Much busy of late, Lady Cat, mostly spinning my wheels, not sure where the light at the end of the tunnel is but working my way to it one way or another. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
 
Well, it is good to see you back here, if only briefly. I see you've checked out the RPG. Hee! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />
