Siege

I am sorry Tim.
I don't know what i would do with an injury like that.
I would be out of the infantry for sure.
I cannot survive a desk job.
I am Death Upon My Enemies.
Not so much when i cannot run or jump.

timmy, were you actually crippled from the cancer, or is that just a languish insult?
4 inches of my tibia was removed and replaced with bone from a cadaver. It's held in place by metal plates and 17 screws. Of course the dead bone has long since fused with the living, but the plates haven't been removed since it's too invasive just to do it for that.  I can walk fine for miles, and swim the same. Can't really run, and jumping is out of the question. In everyday life no one ever notices unless I wear shorts, as you expect I got a pretty big scar.

Who's bone did you get?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I wonder what would it would feel like if it belonged to a POTUS.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

You could be an instructor in military strategy.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

could be worse. jumping and running are overrated anyway. alternate history maps can fill the void :)

:mad:
It's ok, you don't have to be jealous. Even if it is the POTUS', it's not the kind bone you were hoping to get :console: :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

It'll make 'advertising vision' a reality too.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
