**Joetaco**

---TRANSMISSION JAMMED BY THE ORDER OF THE EMPEROR!---

Because more often than not, it comes up in completely inappropriate places.

Like the vast majority of 'inside jokes' that get taken way, way, way too far.

**Xca|iber**

This word you speak. It is made up.

**Cheese Elemental**

Garret, I regret to inform you that the GW death squads will be at your house sometime this evening.

Have a pleasant day.

**Asrodrig**

Because Squats are lame.

**DarkHound**

Well, hell, now GW will have to take down the forum. Thanks for saying sq- BLAM!

**burb1996**

Because the word Squats = denial. Had a rather sizable list in 1st and 2nd Ed. And some of the coolest Space Marine mini's.

But they don't exist nor have they ever....

**Grey Templar**

The last guy to have mentioned -Deleted by order of the

nquisition- was a chaos lord by the name of Falicus and this is a photo of him right after the Grey Knights came to punish him for his Heresy

The dwarven space-bikers weren't grimdark enough when GW entered their "Crawling in my skin"-phase. Back off LP-fans, if you try to defend that song I'll annihilate you!

And this is why Squats were gone?

Not that y'know...they didn't sell, didn't fit the material they were moving towards, or anything like that?

PS:
Linkin Park came years after Squats were gone.

**garret**

So if i say SQUATS. some thing bad will happen.

**Grey Templar**

Yes. those that shall not be mentioned have nor ever will exist, by order of the Inquisition.

the PREhumous memorial service for GARRET will be held tonight.

**burb1996**

Poor Garret...we knew him well. He used to post on the Dakka forum all the time and then the next thing ya know he was gone......

**KingCracker**

Well the last time I delt with Squat, a nice young lady wearing ALOT of latex was talking about doing that on my chest while I was tied down. I couldnt for the life of me remember my safe word though. It ended bad

**Lexx**

On a serious note. They've pretty much been written out. Think the excuse was they got eaten by a hive fleet.

Whats that I hear? *looks around* OH SH-

*transmission ended*

**Nightwatch**

You'll get squatted.

**Grey Templar**

The Grey knights used to come if you mentioned -Deleted by the Ordo Malleus- but now the Angry Marines come instead. Outsourcing due to pressures from the Eye of Terror

because the AMs hate -Deleted by order of the Ordo Malleus- even more then certain furry creatures who shall remain nameless.

What Squats?
CRAZY FREAKING TINY BEARDED MAN SEEING XENOS! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL?

**garret**

Ok can i have serious answer. is this some sort of meme in dakka that anyone mentions with is in trouble.

It's not a meme that originated from Dakka, no.

When Squats first were cut, the players started asking at Games Days "WHAT ABOUT SQUATS!".

For the first few years, Games Workshop took it as a light-hearted joke and the (relatively) rational gamers moved on from there.

Then you have the other gamers, who kept constantly wasting everyone's time during the Q&A sessions with asking about Squats.

You could always tell who they were too, smirking as they walked up to the mic and most of them weren't even old enough to play 40k when Squats were let go.

In short: It's a bad joke that wasn't funny to begin with, and people keep it up because they think it establishes their geek cred. Much like the "Why So Serious?" crowd or the "THE CAKE IS A LIE!11!!!" scrubs.

**helgrenze**

Hmm the story I, a long time player of the Stuntie race, was told had to do with one Andy Chambers and his rather bad fortunes when facing said RT era armies. I believe his standing record was 0-5 vs said forces.

That of course is merely rumor and has nothing to do with the reality of the Squats being removed shortly after Mr. Chambers was give the reins.......

**Ketara**

The scary thing is, garret does pretty much seem to be the Tau in the comics I posted above.

**Grey Templar**

your comics arn't coming through clear

**Nightwatch**

They must have been Squatted.

**Lorgar's_Blessed**

Only one other race has been known to cause crazy fits of laughter or equally crazy fits of anger.

Dare I say it... I dare... Pan Fo.

Goodbye world.
