The Bilge

Might I suggest a triumvirate ala Caesar

Pompey

and Crassus

( fell on his sword) or slightly later: Octavian, Lepidus,(retired as Pontifax Maximus) and Mark Antony

(Fell on his sword) ...

Rats learn from the masters

(At least they all got on the coin of the realm!)

Armistead: Best I could do with the funds available. Someone stole money and I think we need to have a hearing soon. Remember how I caught the guy that stole the strawberries....no one gets one on me.

ARMIBBY get out your famous metal detector and find some of the above loot just to cover the cheese whiz and nibbles around here.

Aktung...you think he'll kill himself or are you saying....er....a hit, take out the leader, a member of the family?

Normally I would say no. We had rules that we would never attack or kill one another, less we fall into civil war. But I see Wolferz has thrown down the wrench and drawn a line in the muck. He seems to enforce his position by power and threats. Maybe the men are positioning themselves behind him instead of you. Maybe it's time to bare yourself to the men and stand up, so they will ....follow you.

Take charge Aktung, if this doesn't work out, it could be war down here with no chance of escape, taking the bilge to even lower levels.

I'll start a smear campaign against Wolferz.

No he didn't. Crassus's son Publius committed suicide, but Crassus was killed in a skirmish while trying to negotiate a truce with the Parthians. One legend has it that the Parthians captured him and poured molten gold down his throat. Stories vary as to whether this was done after his death or as the cause of his death.

JEEZ! I KNEW that!

My Amyloid plaque is Romen' around!

Must have been thinking of the next disaster,#3 IMHO (after Cannae and Carrhae-25% escaped of 7 legions) : 9AD Teutoberger Wald; poor Varus did fall on his sword. RATS! Octavian, by now Augustus, was really pissed off about the three legions-totally wiped out...Rome never had a good German Policy after that!

Wolferz · 07-17-14, 05:35 AM

Hmm

Armistead has taken to corrupting the men with boob/cheese pornographics and Aktungbby is giving Roman history lectures, with Augustus ..... guest lecturers no less.

The rats are turning into Turkeys.

I'll tell you what boys,
If you want a change for the werst by putting a weiner schnitzel in charge, have at it.
I'll resign if "All" of you can perform the following actions after downing a gallon of Bilge Brew...

Stand on one leg and mule kick for five minutes, while...
Whistling Dixie, while...
Juggling three balloons filled with helium, while...
Chin passing an apple with the St. Paulie girl.

And Boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants.

Sorry. Just testing the beat box music I'll play while y'all try to meet those requirements.

A pharmacist mate will be standing by and I'll clear the path to the head, after I fill it with last nights dinner and conveniently forget to flush. There will be some smearing around the rim.

CRASH DIVE!!!

Aktung,

Please, Wolferz is out politik'n you? As your advisor, most the rats are American. You have to speak American, not English!

I felt the tide turning against Wolferz and wanted to act when the poker was hot....but if you keep talking about Crassus and Publius, no one will understand except Steve and he ain't a rat. We need 3 more votes for impeach'n and so far we just have one..... I have approached several with no real response. One beloved rat friend even told me he was OK with Wolferz and wouldn't vote.

Keep in mind, you're stuck down here now, if you fail, I doubt your outside connections will help you. No tell'n what Wolferz will do to you.

I will never forget Brian Blessed screaming "Quintillius Varus, WHERE ARE MY EAGLES?"

Armistead · 07-17-14, 09:07 AM

Geesh....Aktung would rather be a poor historian than a current leader...

Don't blame me, I voted Steed.

I thought the life of a bilge rat was going to be a good one, instead I'll we've had is bilge stew, bilge brew, threats of mutiny, history lessons and the worst cheese buffet ever. Oh yes, and me being 'hazed' with my own oil can by the Bilges' padre.

When does the party start?
