Title: Being overly sensitive is hard work.
Post by: eskimo2 on October 30, 2003, 08:51:20 PM
So I log into AH the other day, and… that’s it!  
No automated:"Welcome to Aces High eskimo! Please have a pleasant time pretending to kill bad guys.  Thank you for gracing us with your presence, kind sir."  
I couldn’t believe it.  I’m just sitting there in the tower, all by myself.  
No one even says, "Hi!"
How in the world can an online flight sim expect to stay in business without a tower-greeter.  Had a virtual senior citizen welcomed me when I first arrived in the tower, I think I would have felt a lot better and wouldn’t have to post on the BB how awful it made me feel to be virtually ignored.

How rude.

Really? I thought everyone got the welcome message and flowers. :confused:

Hmmm.. I bet I know. I bet HTC put you in the “Dolt” mode.

I got the hearty welcome of a long lost brother and the dozen roses were beautiful.

However, the coffee was a tad bit on the cool side and the eggs benedict? Definitely cold!

I'll be watching this stuff more closely.

You just have a ten millimeter measuring tape drop outa the monitor everytime you die, crash or rtb to measure your peepee with. :lol

My Peepee[/b]
(Sung to the tune of "My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry)

When shane was
a little bitty boy
his mommy bought him a brand new toy
a joystick to hook to his pc
hoping he would let go of his peepee

little did she realize
that once shane took to the virtual skies
the joystick he held so tightly
had just replaced his widdle peepee

oh his peepee
yeah his peepee
every minute or so
measures his peepee

now shane's learned a trick or two online
he flies like a bird, he shoots so fine
he racks up kills very quickly
gives him more time to measure his peepee

oh his peepee
yeah his peepee
every minute or so
measures his peepee

he knows he's great, can kill his foes
he's just not quite sure everyone knows
so he grew another hand to type
non-stop smack and lots of hype

oh his peepee
yeah his peepee
every minute or so
measures his peepe

if you shoot down shane you'll find
you're a hovulchtardganger in his whine
"Cause nobody can shoot down the great me!
After all, take a look at MY PEEPEE!"

oh his peepee
yeah his peepee
every minute or so
measures his peepe

But when you try to emulate
his particular style ... better wait
learn just where to draw the line
you can kill without the whine

and if you measure your peepee
someone may sneak up, you see
and shoot you down while you're measuring
then you'll hear shane himself start to sing

Oh YOUR peepee
yeah YOUR peepee
I caught you measuring your own peepee!

oh his peepee
yeah his peepee
every minute or so
measures his peepee

:D

Pure genius Arlo!

I feel better now.

Hitech, can you make a virtual Arlo to be the tower greeter?
I want him to sing a little ditty like this when I log on.
What a warm-n-fuzzy way to start a session that would be.

(Flowers and coco certainly wouldn’t hurt either.)

Eskimo's a wussy.



And a wimp whiner, LA-7 dweeb and occasional Niki driver.  All around puss, imo.:D

And now, he has the audacity to come in here and complain.  I can't believe it.

Edit:  Please take this as a joke Eskimo.  No harm intended.

You ask me about this maligned treatment?

Well, it goes like this.....Most pay the ordinary subscription fee each month...some of us take advantage of the Bonus Subscription Packages....they include tower greetings, bonus compliments beginning at engine start-up, followed by a series of WTG's and Nice Kill kudos from HT himself.

Granted, some of you may not need this bonus encouragement...me personally, I need my hand held every step of the way.

to Hitech and his crew....doers of good deeds all of them!

When the Eskimo .... [/b]
(Sung to the tune of "The Mighty Quinn" by Manfred Mann - words and music by Bob Dylan) - and a mighty sucky filk song but I felt obliged to filk Esk a welcome ditty anyhoo.

Everybody's bombing ... boats and fields
Some are vulching bases, others clubbing baby seals
Many players in the air, every girl and boy
But when the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come on .. get out
Just kidding .... yeah, hi
We were just waiting for some Eskimo pie

I like play just like the rest, I like my furball sweet
But getting jumped by hordes of red, just ain't my cup of meat
Lotta players drivin' GVs , hidin' low ... what a sin
But when the Eskimo gets here
All the GVs gonna run from him

Come on .. get out
Just kidding .... yeah, hi
We were just waiting for some Eskimo pie
 
Tell ya what I wanna do, I can't believe it man
I think I'll up a Boston just to see how fast it ran
Nobody can catch me, I'm gettin' kinda close
But then the Eskimo got there
and he turned on the hose.

Come on .. get out
Just kidding .... yeah, hi
We were just waiting for some Eskimo pie

I'm touched Arlo.

I never really did understand the original, but I like yours.  I probably deserve a bit harsher bashing but I think that this would make a fine greeting.  Perhaps HTC should hire you to write a greeting song for every player.

Oh Arlo

Somebody's better gurl, hump hump hump away
Hold on to a past jibe, gotta hump away
Gotta hump, gotta drag, gotta blow, gotta join the circle

She's the CT's little big gurl, married to the donkey
Funny with the big slob, funny with the right hand
Will hump your ankle thru the ethernet and leave you with a smile on the board

Oh Arlo, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so sappy
Oh Arlo, she's living in the past
She wants to make it last
Forgive her and she'll hump you
With her receipe for love

Gotta knife fight, gotta throttle to the red
There's a circle in the tower, a gallery of dead
There's a  target on her plane, she's on the runway again

If she doesn't run now she might as well be
dead in that plane, had to hump to be free
free from him and the smack to come

Oh Arlo, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so sappy
Oh Arlo, she's living in the past
She wants to make it last
Forgive her and she'll hump you
With her receipe for love

Setups are tough but it just doesn't matter
Got a weak trade of smack,  got a back made of rubber
If she dies again, it'll sure not be the last

She's tearin' up the bbs, cuttin' up with chatter
Broke the tower door down, thinkin' she'll reup soon
The cirlce is wet covered with sweat and lies

Oh Arlo, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so sappy
Oh Arlo, she's living in the past
She wants to make it last
Forgive her and she'll hump you
With her receipe for love

Shane,

What's the original song?
Can't "read it to the beat" without an original song that I/we know.

He was in a hurry. Prolly took him an hour's seperation from measuring his peepee (had a whole dozen words to replace, yaknow). :D

I don't know this one.
I don't get as much of a hoot from parody of tunes that I don't know, just a bunch of words to me.

The Richie Valens one was great though, and very well known.

Ironically, Richie died in a plane wreck.
