If you really want to find another name for 'vanilla' or 'stock' SH you should use a catchy phrase. Maybe some kind of abbreviation.

The first thing that came into my mind was FISH. You only have to find words for 'F' and 'I'. Well, 'F' may be 'first', so it goes like:

'F'irst 'I'...... 'S'ilent 'H'unter

I couldn't find any word starting with 'I' telling you that it's 'stock' release.

But you can generate an infinite number of words ending with 'SH'.
So, let's start a competition right now.

My contribution is: FLESH

'F'irst 'L'egitimate 'E'dition 'S'ilent 'H'unter

Well, not a very good one I know...;)
What's your contribution, tell us!:D

Thniper

Vanilla Stock Base ................. sounds like were in the Kitchen

Your just such a stodgie old conservative penny Lighten up
subsims are for having a little fun once in a while.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think 'vanilla' should be referred to as: "Baby SH3"

...or if you'd like an indirect reference for vanilla: "Ice-Ice-Baby SH3" :yep:

I think my previous suggestion: "Robert Matthew Van Winkle SH3" was a tad too long...

Let them get the hang of the game then GENTLY ease them into GWX.:yep:

:roll:

Kiwi got it right. Noobs should attend the Marineschule, after graduating, attend the, ummmm Vanilla-stock-choose your name pre GWX training module for U-boat commanders. Then go into GWX and play DID. They should also wire a C-3 charge to their computers triggered by the career end screen. Kaboom! How's that for realism? :sunny:

Time for an ice cream rant :arrgh!:

Now I don't know about the States, but where I am in Canada it is damn hard to find good ice cream at the supermarket any more, and not pay a fortune for it (Hagen Das). Its all rubish now, no more all natural ice cream, just piles and piles of artificial stuff that tastes horrible and slightly slimy on the tongue. Even worse is the frozen yogurt section, which certainly does not taste like yogurt by any stretch of the imagination (they should call it "frozen NOT yogurt") and is closer to a horrible imitation of the horrible imitiation of what they call icecream. As for the sorbet, or gelato section.. Well what section? At best you might see a tub or two of junky sorbet or gelato.

Now a couple of years ago we did have one brand that was all natural and very good, Breyers Black Label ice cream, and best of all it was only a few dollars more expensive then the cheap junk for the same quantity. But then woe apon woe %*$%# Quebon (another milk producer) bought them out, and replaced the black label with what they call "Double Churned" and left it at the same price. Now what is this "Double Churned" stuff? Well what the little bas.. i meen jerks ;) did is take out all the natural stuff, put in all the artificial stuff, then churned the absolute heck out of it. Its actualy worse then the cheapest icecream on the market, and twice the price of it. The funny thing though is anyone who knows how to make icecream knows that you want to churn it only as much as is nessiary and not any more or it destroys the ice cream, double churning it is about the worst thing you can do.

The only good thing about that mess is the ice cream was so bad the supermarkets stoped carrying Breyers Icecream any more, even after the price fell through the floor on it. The Breyers label has been destroyed thanks to Quebon, and I can only hope their little boondoggle has cost them heavily in the wallet for destroying my only brand of good icecream.

So here I am... with no good icecream (or any other type of frozen desert) of any kind available any more for sale here.

You just had to remind me of that fact didn't ya Penelope :p :cry:

Ok rant over :) carry on, carry on, nothing to see her folks <nudges people along with his Subsim truncheon>

Plus since this is a necroed thread I guess I should lock it for good measure unless anyone sees a good reason (a realy realy good reason ;) ) for it to stay open.
