Howdy y'all. This here is the Tennessee Group. I is posting cause our cover is been blowed by Gary Carpenter back a piece. Since he is been runnin off at the mouth we aim to see that are side is heard from first.

We's a group of playas from Tennessee in the good ole US of A and we's dedicated to takin down the PA and anyone who is in are way. If you aim to be around then you better clear outta are way or you's gonna get stamped on.

That is all

I guess we all knew this was coming...

Where's that extra popcorn? When's the show goin' start?


-LX

What you mean LX what show?

Especially since Tennessee is the hotbed of pbm /pbem gaming ...playas will play on , head for the hills!!!!

We is known for our BBQ, white lightnin and PBEM hooooeeeee!!!!

LOL told ya so, if you really are the TG.

Note: the attack anyone that gets in the way, IE they sight.

NOTE: Now you can see why the PA believes the TG to be so EVIL, Red necks in tuxedo's, farting, and driving pickups, while plotting on a laptop out in the woods near the moonshine producing still, with lead pipes causing their teeth to fall out, singing THUNDER ROAD, as MASCAR plays on their portable TV.

Oh we is the TG thats for damm shure.

Y'all is using them big city slicker words but I reckon its the PA who is gettin there asses whooped but good. It shore ain't the TG I can garan-damm-tee that.

You gots yourself a perty mouth now squeal like a pig boy.

Despite years of back breaking effort, the battle by southerners living in hilly or swampy terrain to overcome sterotyping is set back another 100 years. Sigh.....

What the heck are you talkin about boy? Tarnation.

I almost forgot, you can tell a TG HW, by all the clunker space ships lying around and up on space blocks.

Uh huh. And you can tell a PA HW by the lack of any space ships and large radioactive clouds of space junk and killed PA troops rotting in the field

One question for TG, if things are going so well for you, WHY did you go begging the LARs group to help you?

Whats this here LARs group you talkin about boy? Explain yoself, just who exactly do you think is this LARs group? And who has done gone and hep'ed us TGers to whoop you PA boys? We's doin mighty fine all on our own.

They know who they are, the question was for them. No answer expected.

We know who we is but what is this LARs group you is a-speakin of?

TG is this here Tennessee Group so what do LAR stand fer? Or is LAR another of them there voices I heerd you has in yor head what tells you to be bad an do bad things?

TG - While I've found this to be one of the more entertaining threads, your lack of knowledge concerning TN shows that you are no Tennessean. I would conclude that you are a PA alter-ego, but you do have much more imagination than they normally display.

While its been a couple of decades since I've visited my place of birth, I doubt things have changed immensely.

BBQ: Absolutely correct - the world's best
White Lightnin': Now you know better than that - that's a North Carolina specialty. TN is the home of those fine, smooth sippin' whiskeys such as Jack Daniels and George Dickel.

A couple of additional facts that may or may not be interesting to the masses...........

TN is home to the world's largest wind tunnels
"Rocket Scientists" around the globe learn their trade at the UT Space Institute
The largest R&D Center and testing facilities for Aerospace in the country

And sad to say, since it almost fits your stereotyping, home of the famous "chicken shooter" - while still in use to test aircraft windshields, fowl are no longer used.

BBQ, yum!
Jack Daniels, smooth!
UT Space Institute, do they do tours?
"chicken shooter", I've got to see a video of that!

Wyvern: My knowledge is a bit dated, but....

UTSI is the University of Tennessee Space Institute, not much to see there unless you are thinking of enrolling as a student. If you want to see some great NASA exhibits, etc... the place to go is Marshall Air Force Base in Huntsville, AL.

"chicken shooter", well... I have not seen a video of it, but have seen it in person. Its located at an Air Force Base in Central Tennessee along with the wind tunnels - they did have tours every 10 years, not sure if they still do or not.

TG - where are you? I'm in need of entertainment!

I regret to inform you that the "chicken shooter" is no longer on the tour. We have ....ummmm.... acquired that piece of technology from earth and transported to the former Flock Homeworld



With our low-G environment, it seemed to be the perfect tool to allow the young ones to have a little fun while cleaning up the foul fowl that were left behind - they simply shoot the remains towards the nearest sun for incineration.

TG - since Gary thinks I'm your ring leader, I might as well ask - where do I sign up??

Waaaaaaa!!! I was preparing my space yacht for a visit to the fabled chicken shooter of earth....now where has this wondrous piece of technology been taken to ? coordinates ?

A cheap replica can be seen in a Mythbuster episode

And here's me thinking a Chicken Shooter was an alcoholic tipple!

Yes my friends....another topic subverted to the subject of booze

Oh where, oh where has the TG gone? Oh where, Oh where can they be?

Did the PA get organized and "stomp a mudhole in 'ya"?

Har har, look at yew. Yew gots yurself a picshur of Dan'l Boone for an avatar!!!!!!!! Any idjit knows that ole Dan'l is from Kentuck, not the Great State of Tennessee. Jus look at my avatar for a real Tennessee hero.

An yew call yurself a real tennesseean Har har har.

Des,

Iffn yew wants in an if yew is from Tennessee, jus send me a hollar to my email address and yew too can get in to the TG

Oh, my misguided little friend - you can't tell the difference between David (Davy) Stern Crockett and Daniel Boone? Danny boy didn't wear a coon skin hat. Now who is the idjit??

Har har yew is jest proved yew is the idjit.

If'n yew was a real tennesseean and yew newd anee thing about David Crockett, yew would use his reel picshure as yewr avatar not sum hi falutin' aktor named Fess Parker what hailed frum Texas of all things. I is surprisd that yew dint use a picshure of that other ackter feller John Wayne in yur avatar

Heer is a link for yew so yew ken git yerself a right proper picshure of David Crockett for yer avatar. Othur non Tennesseean reeders can clik it so they kan gaze in wunder on. I iz lookin ferward to yew a changin yer picshure to sumthing right proper to represent Tennessee

http://images.google.com/images?q=david+cr...le&resnum=4

Tank yew fer a provin yew is jes a Tennessee wannabee poser

I've driven through TN, is that close enough?

Iz that yer onliest ties to Tennessee? Seems a might thin Des.

Not shore how tha other Tennesee Groupians wood be a thinkin if'n I be allowin yew to be a member.

That is pretty thin........But, my mama and them sez that great granny's third cousin (twice removed) wuz hitched to a feller from Woo Doo Tennessee - I'm not two sur if'n dat be tru 'cause my grand pappy thunk he was just puttin on airs - pretendin being from the big city and all, grand pappy say dat he really from Who'd-a-thot-it in West TN and dem people are jest as crook'd as the MS sippi River.

And than people say, KomKa talk is difficult to understand.

Since I have in my possession names and addresses of the old TN gang...I'm curious...care to verify your claim?

Or is this Norm/Darrin being Norm/Darrin again?

Hard to argue with that LACK of logic. But to evidence that I am truly a Tennessean.......

My Blood runs Orange (University of TN)
My two Triggs (hunting Dog for those not familiar) are named Neyland and Smokey
And in my yard I have a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel growing grass that I obtained from the End Zone of Neyland Stadium from when they changed from Grass to Astroturf.

Har har. An yew talk about lack of lojik.

Yer blood don't run Orange cuz no won's blood doos dat. An jes cuz yew names yer dogs a certain way don't mean doodly squat. An anee yuppie can has hisself a JD whiskey barrel full o this heer speshal grass wut yew probaly got frum Walmart. Heck yew dont even talk like a Tennessean do. Davy wood be ashamd of yew not talkin proper and havin a pikshure of that Texican Fess Parker as yer avatar

Poser

It is difficult to have a battle of wit with the witless; however, I do concur with you that having a Texan who is pretending to be Davy was a poor choice - so have updated my avatar for "yew"

Eternus - First and foremost welcome back.

I don't claim to be part of any "TN gang" old or new. For some odd reason Gary Carpenter thinks I'm the TG ring leader - Apparently Tennessee Tuxedo is the one in charge. Which should be a bit scary for his target, the PA - according to the historical documents I viewed as a kid, no matter how ignorant or incompetent TN Tux acted, he somehow always managed to come out on top!

Hmph. Our ancestors lived in TN before yours did (most likely, not knowing the genealogy of those involved)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee

Yessiree yew done did a good job o changing yer avatar. Stead of a picshure of Fess Parker now yew has a picshure of a smooshed Fess Parker. Witless. Yew has prooved yerself to be witless agin.

Weel yew did say yew done did drive throo TN onest sew yew mus be a TG'er usin Garys lojik

I like the flapping bat avatar.....

Yes I does supose dat bees did liv in TN before my ansestors came too be cuz everee one nows dat da berds and da bees has to come firstest and formostest

Let's see ......... you don't know the difference between Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone - Now you can't tell the difference in the TN and Texas State Flags? That's just plain sad. I've changed the avatar again to show a label of Tennessee, but of course you probably can't read either, kin 'ya?

For the record, while the color scheme is similar... Texas, "the Lone Star State" has a flag with a single star (how absurd, that makes no sense at all) and Tennessee's flag has 3 stars representing East, Middle, and West TN.

I just had to go look up the history of the TN Flag. Oh how funny. First someone in National Geographic makes up that the three stars represent TN being the 16th state admitted (3rd after the original 13). And then the US Post office produces stamps with the flag upside down ... and despite protests by state officials, the Postal Service insisted that the stamp was correct, and continued to print Tennessee's flag belly-up (well, what do you expect from a US Government run institution). And then the final insult .. while state law specifies that the circular blue field is to have a diameter equal to one-half the width of the flag, some flag manufacturers often ignore that specification, and at times flags can be seen on which the blue disc occupies almost all of the red field. In other words, you can't even get the flag manufactured correctly despite it's simple an elegant design. Oh wow....

Ring leader, I never said ring leadre, SIGH, your fleets joined with TG fleets to attack a PA HW, But I am sure it was all just a mistake, and your fleet just happened to show up, and just happened to be allied with, and just happened to fight, but never knew who these other guys were, and never talked to them, and do not recall anything.

Now all the rhetoric becomes clear! Certainly no mistake or chance encounter; I did drop in to assist in clearing the Phoenix Empire sky - when was that, about 3 years ago? I seriously doubt that the Bene Gesserit are part of the fabled TG, but .... I don't know since I'm not affiliated with the TG - unfortunately, my family tree is not rooted in the glorious south so the TG has found my credentials to be lacking. While I can not officially join them, I will continue to fight for their noble cause.

Sorry you were not enough help, they have went out and gotten more help. You really did not recall attacking phoenix, Until I posted the start of the battle? No worries with you then, I will just not reply to any more messages you post and you will soon forget the PA exists.

Not enough help?? My assistance while helpful was not needed, but to refresh your memory - How many ships did I lose? None. How many did the PA have remaining? None.

Yee Haw Des! Looks like yew tromped those PA bums but gudd. Sew yew can bee a onorary member o TG even if yew iz not ackchoolee a TG member.

Mr. Tuxedo: Thank you for honoring me as a kindred spirit! I wouldn't characterize all the PA members as bums - we all have a role to play and I appreciate theirs in keeping things interesting for me. As I've indicated before, win or lose, I truly enjoy my encounters with them. This battle was many turns ago and at that time the PA acted more as individuals than a group - that has changed, they now work in concert and are no longer an easy target.

Also, a big thank you for bringing some life and humor back to the forums.

Desmodus,

It's been our observation that PA really have not done so well. Perhaps they are acting as a team near you but we have been able to destroy them piecemeal. To date their organization has been pitiful at best and truly incompetent on the low end of the scale.

Witness White Shadow Imperium, Black Cloud and Galvorn if you need any further examples. Of course I should note that White Shadow did beat our brains in recently at Evremond 9 taking back the HW with well under 200 pops that we had vigorously been defending with at least 2 or 3 troop units. Kudo's to WSI for that.
