Let's use this thread to post anecdotes and stories about our personal experiences with the beloved general.

Remember when you and I were hanging out at the Reichstag, and we were drinking some lager, and I was all "Herr General" and you were all "Herr Fuhrer!" and it was just so much fun....

ahh, those were the days...

By the way, go withdraw $10,000 from your bank account and give it to me this instant. ;D

Prime, when painting the house, it's sometimes good to go outside for some fresh air.....

So okay, I was hangin out in the case, modding and power supply forum, minding my own business and I thought I'd comment on some guy's case. He'd taken one of those Chieftec cases and put a cold cathode in it. I was like "Dude, thats not much of a mod. It's weaksauce." Well, I didn't know he'd get all upset. The dude started to come at me with a dremel and I was scared. I didn't know he'd take it so hard.

I screamed "Spring forth burly protector and save me!"

With a flash of lightening, lo and behold in his radiant glory, Keebs flew down from heaven and smote the offender with the crappy case, and then locked the thread. He saved my life and for that I am eternaly greatful. I'd buy him a beer, but he's not old enough to drink yet.

Remember when we were in that turkish prison, and that big guy dropped the soap and told me to pick it up? I was just about to lose my behymen, but you bent over and grabbed it for him. Man, I really owe you for taking that for me...repeatedly.

So there I was, in the middle of saving the nuns from the burning bus, when all of a sudden about 30 of the meanest, nastiest, ugliest, drug-using, gun-wielding klan bikers came up behind me. Well, I certainly couldn't save the nuns *and* defend them and myself from the bikers, so I did the only thing I could.

I kneeled down and began fervently praying for the ultimate protector to arrive. Yes, happy readers, I tried to summon the all-powerful, almighty General Keebler to save me. Well, wouldn't you know it, he was too busy with not patting himself on the back for saving yet another forum from disarray to hear my plea.

So I alternated between rushing into the bus and defending myself from the bikers. After about an hour Keebs finally showed up.

"Sorry I'm late, Mr. Kwitko. The forums were in disarray and Ageek was certain not to find that article on 'Cross-Rotational Venting Splines' had I not stepped in. I don't ask for thanks, or even awards. I just do it to see the smiles on the faces of our eager forumgoers. Which reminds me of another selfless act I performed..."

And he went on for about 45 minutes singing his non-praises to a bunch of reporters who happened to show up to cover my battle with the bikers and my heroic rescue efforts.

"...And that's how I selflessly saved the forums from almost certain clutter..." I overheard Keebs saying.

The last nun had been extracted and the last biker defended. I quietly walked away with my wife, Heidi Klum. The last I heard was that Keebs won the Nobel Prize for Forum Tidiness.

Good times. Yes indeed.

I started in to write a cheery story. Then I read some of the other posts...

I'm going to go to my "Happy Place" now, and forget that any of this ever happened... :eek3:

So one day back in HS during our senior year we lost our senior lounge privileges! Now I cried out for help, and Keebs popped up out of nowhere with a grin on his face ready to help :respect: :respect: :respect: ! "Not to fear", he said:ninja: ! "I will simply throw bricks through the principals’ windows with messages demanding lounge back!" Well he followed this routine of shattering windows until he was caught:banghead: . We didn’t get lounge back but he sure did try! TRUE STORY!!














(Well, he didn’t really throw them through windows, but that would have been cooler:D)

(Shorty thought he locked out my ability to post in here... I'd hijacked Radeon Man's post with an edit until I realized I could merge a post into here from elsewhere :D )

For the record, all I did was point out how well the Programming forum was doing... *cough* and maybe point out how it was my idea to bump it up from a subforum and he should kiss my feet and give me money and forever kneel before my superior intellect... *cough*
;D ;)
