Oolite Bulletins

This is the Milky Way Kid, joining you for the late shift on Lave’s favourite sub-aether comms station ‘Jameson2084.oo4’. Broadcasting from somewhere in the vicinity of the Old Worlds via transmission nodes throughout the eight. And that was Fer-De-Lance Race, the second of our StarQueen triple-up.

Before we look at events and updates from around the Ooniverse, a word from our sponsor:

There’s been somewhat of a revolution started recently with a bunch of pilots respraying their ships in a Retro-Aegidian styling, resulting in a bit of colour back in the space lanes.

So let’s go back to a time where kitch was in and the aether echoed to the sounds of bands like Planet Genesis, Zed Lep, Crimson Floyd and Deepspace Purple. To round off the hour, another classic from StarQueen and a shout out to all those flying the wrong side of the lanes, if you’re not careful, maybe you'll be

Another One Bites The Dust – StarQueen

(Dm, Dm, Dm, Da-Dm-Dm, Da-Da, Dm)
(D-D-Dm, Dm, Dm) Let’s Go! (Da-Dm-Dm, Da-Da, Dm)
The hunter reclines in his pilot’s seat
His HUD turned way down low
Ain't no sound but the crackling comms
Two Ingrams ready to go

Are you ready, hey? Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the aether the lasers rip
To the sound of the beat (yeah)

(Dm, Dm, Dm) Another one bites the dust
(Dm, Dm, Dm) ‘Nother criminal bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another mark bites the dust
And he’s gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

(Dm, Dm, Dm, Da-Dm-Dm, Da-Da, Dm)
(Dm, Dm, Dm, Da-Dm-Dm, Da-Da, Dm)
How do you know he’s not far off your bow
Or lurkin’ just off your tail
He’ll take you ‘spite everything that you’ve got
And kick you right into hell

Better lookout, ‘cause he’s waiting for you
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the darkness the lasers rip
To the sound of the beat, look out

(Dm, Dm, Dm) Another one bites the dust
(Dm, Dm, Dm) ‘Nother criminal bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another mark bites the dust
Hey he’s gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey! Oh take it! Bite the beam, chew the hard head

Hey! Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust (ow)
Another one bites the dust (hey hey)
Another one bites the dust (he-e-e-ay...)
Oooh shoot out!

There are plenty of ways that you can get your mark
And bring him to the grave
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can take his shields down
And leave him out in space
The hunter’s ready, yes he’s ready for you
He’s piloting a Cobra III
Out of the aether the lasers rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat

(Oh, yea-a-eh) Another one bites the dust
(Dm, Dm, Dm) ‘Nother criminal bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another mark bites the dust (yeah)
Yes he’s gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot out

I love it.

Too cool!!! Keep 'em commin'!

Thanks Paradox. I still lurk, but my laptop continues to refuse to cooperate with me and let me see the bb pages properly. I'm reduced to my pad, which is less than optimal on a good day.

I'm still around.

Wildeblood - the usual e-mail wake-up messages no longer work so well. PM's no longer elicit an e-mail. And posting in the thread will only work if the victim has enabled an e-mail "wake-up" call. What tends to work best is including your victim's message - like this:

No! No! Ghastly stuff. Tescoo Supér-Ordinaire! Touch at your peril! Avoid like the plague!!

Gentle-beings of quality only quaff the finest Lapsang Souchong from bone-china tea-cups, lovingly presented to you by Twinings of Lesser Walsingham (Tearooms just opposite the cathedral cloisters).

That presumes that the e-mail address is still current, of course...

Hi Wildeblood and welcome back.

Several of Steve's last posts were in this thread.

Hopefully there will a thing or two in there to amuse you.
