For your amusement I present a chat log with a coworker. The funny thing is we are sitting 20 feet apart. We are just lazy like that...
That's not true, we are both very busy, and don't have the time to socialize that much during the work day, so we multi-task.
Real names were changed to Dakka user names to protect the guilty...

I'd love to see H.B.M.C. win that tournament circuit and have dinner with Jervis.

Who'd survive the evening?

I see what you did there... Actually, I know who Jervis is. I started wargaming 10 years ago, and one of my favorites back in the day (I think it was a Wednesday) was Nercromunda. I believe Jervis contributed to that as well, correct?

I was referring to being a noob to this forum...

H.B.M.C. is the being from the dark days of Rogue Trader. Everyone's scared of him... I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than argue with H.B.M.C.

I see them as being hate filled rants.

Not flaming H. That's just what I get from his "discussions".

YMMV.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Dinner with Jervis hey?

Given the interviews I've seen with the man and his monthly... uhh... 'editorials'... I suspect dinner with him would be kind've like being seated at a table at a wedding sat next to a girl who, at the time of the invitation, you were madly in love with, yet have now been broken up for several months and don't speak to one another - quiet, boring and awkward. However, instead of you spending the evening trying to garner if your ex-girlfriend was sleeping with someone new, you'd spend most of the evening trying to pry information about upcoming Codices from Jervis.

And getting information out of GW about upcoming releases is, as we all know, like trying to get blood from a mother-fething stone.

Thank you H. Coming from you that's a compliment.

I'm plenty clued into my own hobby, I just don't feel the need to boost my ego on a forum about how much GW sucks and how awesome I am.

All in good fun mate. Not meant to be personal.

I would be, although I have nothing against Jervis. I can be one of the ruddest most disgusting people you've ever met. Just ask the Wife. You haven't lived until you've told belched while talking to a padre. Its taken me years to reach this level of perfection.
I'd have to start off the day before, eating a powerful concoction of pinto beans, red beans, and Tex Mex. Its going to go downhill from there...
