Has anyone got them? If not, why not? Redeem yourselves by collecting your favourites from Dakka, it won't take long. I'm in need of a few. Fucking Warseer Mouthbreathers ["saddened by the general state of humanity" smiley]

My first exposure to Triggerbaby: "Regardless of its history, the current White Dwarf is a glossy, non-absorbant form of toilet paper. There are knitting magazines with better wargaming articles. And I don't mean those newfangled extreme knitting for teens full-bleed glossies, either. White Dwarf is a crime against literature; had the Babylonians seen what terrors their civilization would later wreak, they would have held off inventing the letter D in hopes that the Games Workshop editors would get confused and publish an anglo-centric boating periodical instead.
While you and I have almost nothing in common, we do share the desire to see White Dwarf become (or return to, depending on your point of view) a magazine that at least pretends to have some value. But Games Workshop is a company of (increasingly) limited resources. The revitalization of White Dwarf is not at hand. Therefore, rather than continuing to devote precious staff and moon-dollars to this full-color-full-bleed monthly abortion, White Dwarf should be taken quietly out into the back garden and shot. Tell the kids that you took White Dwarf to a farm and that she's really happy there and she has lots to space to run around and no we can't visit her and whatever, but kill the damn thing. Reallocate the resources to better purposes, such as adding people to the development team or replacing the coffee machine that dispenses cockroaches.
I'd like to see a nice, new White Dwarf just as much as you, but given the state of GW these days, it's not possible even if they wanted to. There's a nice pasture over there. Let's put it out."
Even now, it brings a tear to my eye. So beautiful...

And later, at the end: "Wow! While I would be inclined to complain when one of my threads takes comes to such a screeching halt, this thread has clearly turned into the Best Thing Ever. It's like bran muffin day in the primate pavilion.
To Mortis: nobody likes a shill. I will counteract your counteraction by noting that Mortis is a stupid name and that you are primarily composed of delicous ham.
To 5deadly: you've missed the point. The point is over there. You cannot reach it from where you are standing. Here's the thing- we don't like White Dwarf, and we aren't buying it. While you were working out your incredible theory of "don't buy White Dwarf" using your advanced space math, we came to the same conclusion, intuitively, a long time ago. Here's what everybody but you managed to get out of this thread: (1) we don't like WD (2) we aren't buying it (3) GW is in the toilet and has limited resources (4) GW has bigger problems than the quality of WD (5) why not sacrifice WD in order to make improvements elsewhere. Note how "well then don't buy GW wargames" fails to address any of these points. Flush the sand out of your weepy man-gina and make logical posts instead of just d6ing it."
Bran muffin day at the primate pavilion... you are composed of delicious ham... Fuckin' poetry, man.

Well, this was the one I wanted (from OT). It's not relevant to the discussion I was having (which I've now abandoned), but it's still good.
>>> Be not so quick to judge, Hellfury. The truth, if you believe such a thing exists, is an elusive thing. However, like a pickle jar attached to a length of elastic which is further affixed to an invisible bloodhound with woodscrews, the truth has a way of catching up with you when you least expect.
The salad days of Dakka 2 were my most productive period in terms of raw postage, so Nicole had plenty of opportunity to see me at work. However, I was considerably more sedate then than now; even the shrillest soccer-mom ejected from Focus on the Family on grounds of insanity would have had difficulty cocking more than half an eyebrow at my posts. Nevertheless, Nicole managed to take exception and delete one or two missives during this period. It is suspiciously convenient that the object of her disapproval is available within a fingerlength click away from the text box in which I compose this refutation. Here he is:
Yes, Nicole deleted posts over a joyous banana protesting poop. Or perhaps the little Musa seed is supportive of fecal matter; without context, it is a mystery worthy of any English coke-fiend or mustachioed Flem. Whether shit booster or shit basher, Nicole took exception to the expressive fruit, deleted the post along with a string of associated posts about the subject ("poop", in case you weren't following), and PM'd me a polite request to refrain from such activities forthwith. And, in my youthful innocence, I apologized and conceded to her wishes. Truth beknown, this was probably to the benefit of the board as the vast majority of my posts at the time were completely irrelevant without being even the slightest bit amusing. It was not until later, when I took my first timid steps amongst the terrifying giants at Portal of Evil News forums, that I learned that the highest function of the written word is communicating unabridged scorn.

But I thought I'd seen Gaargh as Gaargh recently. The plot thickens.
