I thought it went more like "Rommel, you magnificent son of a ***** I read your book!!!"


Being of German, Italian and Norweigian decent, phrases like that get my Warrior blood pumping!

The secret to kicking ass is sneak up behind the stupid gavone and jab an ice pick in his neck. He won't know what hit him.

The USN blocks you? What did your ancestors do in WWII?

I'm down loading sp2 right now on dial-up (nine hours), but I will try later.
