Popular Post timendres 6856 Posted February 23 Popular Post Share Posted February 23 I have been served some pretty tasteless noodles on occasion, but never felt I needed to go to this extreme. Hope the vendor recovers fully, and the officer is dealt with properly (though not holding my breath). 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites

First urinating off a Maj Gen, now this. Pretty poor shot though- 9 rds fired and one hit! Seems his card was already marked for something as he was already being transferred. Kicking him after shooting him shows a particularly nasty streak. Anyone remember Constable Savage? Edited February 23 by Psimbo 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
