Hot For FRIDAY

[Father Ted]

I can't believe there is someone here who doesn't know what it means.

Pretty sure I know what it means - just never heard that particular euphemism before.

Whenever I'm on here and I read a term like "spark a bone," it reminds me that I'm likely multiple decades younger than much of the userbase

   Definitely.  And technically, I have two odd memories of the early 1970s to contribute:
1) wasn't it supposed to be sort of heroic to have a bone to spark?
2) I learned to hate Minimalism and Progressive Jazz while pursuing Margaret, my favorite teacher ever (who knew such a hippie would have so much Progessive Jazz and so much bare empty floor space and such large speakers?  Who knew being so absolutely ultimately cool could be so tedious?  It was like "Norweigian Wood" with a vengeance all over again...I had to detox with the Beatles for weeks sweating in a half abandoned basement)

Thankfully, this weekend I will be playing Hell Let Loose and being extremely uncool.

Hahaha 'large speakers' 

[MengJiao]

Hahaha 'large speakers' 

   Curiously enough the monster speakers in question were actual electronic devices with woofers taller than a (small?) man.  As for her accountrements in general, I don't particularly remember her "speakers" per se ...She was just absolutely built right all over and quite tall and had almost no furniture (at least in the "two big bay window" rooms which were the only part of her house I was ever in.   :'(

...wait wait wait, go back: Aggressors: Ancient Rome is getting a sequel!!  :bd: <:-)

[Gusington]

WHAT

[JasonPratt]

Just completed a full Campaign of Aggressor: Ancient Rome (being the Ptolemic Empire) but lost to Rome (Carhage was the other big nation). Was encouraged to dive again into this game as i am doing some translation and testing for the sequel: Imperiums.

I'm also interested in this Ten Crowns thing you're testing Anguille.  O:-)

[Gusington]

Link?

[JasonPratt]

Alas, no links yet. Apparently still in testing. We'll see them when we see them.

I'm just glad to hear an Aggressors sequel is coming. I haven't played it much, but I liked it enough to actually be wondering yesterday if it ever sold enough to justify financing a sequel. I'm glad for the devs at the very least!

[W8taminute]

...sparked up a bone...

Do I want to know what that means?

Sounds like you're too young to know what that means.   :)

It's not something vulgar but I'm sure there a few old timers here that would know what I'm talking about.

I guess that 52 wouldn't count as old-timer in this case.

Haha!  Well technically but you're only a year behind me.  Maybe this is just a New England term then.

MengJiao you are correct.  You could have been a hero back then if you had a bone to spark and you divided it, not hided it.   :)

[WYBaugh]

I thought it was a fat finger

[Anguille]

Rome has better troops than every other nation.  You have to knock them out of the game pretty early to have a chance to win a military victory.

I didn't have so much problems with Rome but Carthage did. They lost most of Spain fast in the end of the game.

[Anguille]

...wait wait wait, go back: Aggressors: Ancient Rome is getting a sequel!!  :bd: <:-)

It should be released this year:
