    MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.


    BROTHER: "And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying,
    'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow
    thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and
    people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies,
    and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large --"

    MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

    BROTHER: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the
    Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three
    shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting
    shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two,
    excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once
    the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou
    thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty
    in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

    MAYNARD: Amen.

    ALL: Amen.

    For some reason, this exact scene/script came to mind when I read this. Of course, the bunny being Jack Thompson, and we the great people of common sense, the one's searching for the Holy Grail :naughty:

    Counter-terrorists win!

    It's good to see the US legal system isn't quite as useless as I might assume from watching British TV.

    As much as I chuckled (Every body part chuckled) I think it's important to remember that he's been disbarred for his conduct in court - Not for being a retard about games.

    It won't silence him, short of some paralyzing accident, nothing will. It is good to know that his credability has taken a serious blow, but that won't stop him acting through another lawyer as an 'expert advisor' or something - He's not the only anti-game lawyer out there.
