[Archive] GW rules of speach in stores

snowblizz:

I heard rumors of people wanting to do a female Wood Elf (Tree Hugging Hippes) army, has anyone here tried or seen one?

BilboBaggins
Ah, the Wood Elfs, masters of the double entendre (sic?).

There's is the story of the guy who entered a diorama at GW once consisting of a Witch Elf in an arena with an all dwarf crowd consisting of the 5th edition (maybe 4th edition) Dwarf Gyrocopter pilot. For those who don't know it, the dwarf has a good grip on his stick... for controlling the gyrocopter of course! But appropriately painted it looked like something completely different.

Yes, it would be funny.
No, it wouldn't be appropriate
Now you have that image in my head. Thinking it's Lady GaGa or the Pussycat Dolls and a pole.
I still have nearly 2 hours of work to go.

There are worse images to have stuck in your head with 2 hours of work to go.

Helsreth:

In a free magazine that’s handed out on Queensland train lines the word “ass” apparently occurs 170 times in the bible, I think that this is the new and old testament.

It also claims that a recent survey found that the office workers in Brittan and America are the most easily offended.

BilboBaggins:

I figured USofA was up there but I didn’t think the UK would be.

I the US people seem to have labor relations and their seedy lawyers on speed dial.

Wasn’t it Shakespear’s King Leer that had the line first thing we do is kill all the lawyers.

Joke time:

Q: What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A: A good start.

Kera foehunter:

No !!! A all woman elf army would sit in front of the woods with there drumming circles and refuse to fight

BilboBaggins:

I’m not sure about that Kera. I’ve seen plenty of vicious women in my life, a few would be a one person destruction force if positioned correctly.

Of course there is the 40k Witch Hunters (Sisters of Battle) that several people who thought about making the army were thinking (Mainly Celt/Irish or Italian) women with PMS. I didn’t have the funds to make the army but they would have been redheads like Slayers.

It does mean donkey or mule, and last I checked in the King James version it does not accur 170 times, so I guess with a free mag, you get credible accounts based on how much you payed for. Of course, Helsreth, if you'd like to, you can count them yourself and challenge me on my numbers...

Godbob and his jolly rogers:

It might not mean donkey “Thou shell kick your ass!!!” God cried

Otherwise the commandment saying "thou shalt not covet thy neighbours ass" might be a bit, before its time... :~

BilboBaggins:

To settle this I went to www.BibleGateway.com a site that allows you to find words and phrases in different versions of the bible.

So I typed Ass for the King James Version (KJV) and it showed up 76 times.

The other versions I checked (New KJV, New American Standard, New International) had 0 times.

:cheers:hat off

As I said, definately not 170 times.. and with most modern translations, the word "ass" was replaced with mule or donkey.

Kera foehunter:

well bibo pay you bar maid !!! that would limit the woman that are made at you

BilboBaggins:

well bibo pay you bar maid !!!!!  that would limit the woman that are made at you

Kera foehunter
I always pay the bar maid, I don't want the drinks to stop flowing. :cheers I rarely have women mad at me, except for maybe one co-worker.

I have not seen any of those bibles in Australia, and I've had 12 years of catholic education. I was just making reference to a published magazine. If it appears 76 times, in one bible and 0 times in another it could appear 170 times in another bible, considering the bible was not written in English and has been translated.

"Ass" does appear in the bible though. If you call some one an Ass they generally take offensive, regardless of which meaning you are intending.

Kera foehunter:

So i see that ass was the only bad word in the bible!!!

BilboBaggins:

Ass isn’t a bad word, in the Bible it’s another word for Donkey.

I’ve heard reports of other bad words in versions of the bible, but never was able to confirm them.

Which version of the Bible do the Roman Catholics in Australia use? I just checked Donkey and it shows up 142 times in the New International Version and mule (for those who don’t know a mule a combination of Horse and Donkey that can’t breed) 16 times. So I can see Ass possibly showing up 158 times. Donkey doesn’t show up at all in the KJV.

zorn sabretooth:

Well it’s an Austrailian bible what did you expect

BilboBaggins:

What would be the difference between an Australian, British, Canadian and America English Bibles?

Does the America one say “Like” and “Err” every few words?

Does the Canadian one say “Ay” at the finish of each sentence?

Is there references to Vegemite in the Oz version?

I would think since they are all proper English they would all be the same.
