A french one is good , note that "pattern austère" translates as "bland pattern".
Now here comes the joke :

Why does everybody thinks "pattern austère" is a latin prayer ?

Because one of them is a Chitta.

Why was Mushihime-sama revised so many times?

Amazing! Did you come up with the pub first, and then find that rug, or the other way around?

Hey, I have this problem and I was hoping you guys could help me out. I really want to play a backup of Dodonpachi on my non-modded PSX. I use the disc swap trick, and for most games it works fine if I get the timing right, but DDP is weird... there's no music and the screen just freezes after the first boss fight. Anyone have any ideas?

Try downloading a Dodon-patch-i :mrgreen:

There was once an eccentric Brazilian tycoon who traveled the world in a luxurious airship. No expense was spared on this craft; Every space was luxuriously appointed with the best that money could buy. He had fifty servants aboard who catered to his every whim as he flew around the globe attending to his business. Nonetheless, he never seemed content with what he had, and he was constantly remodeling and adding new things to his airship. Oftentimes, even his servants wouldn't know just he had been up to until they showed up to make preparations for another journey.

One day, the tycoon was preparing to depart for an economic summit in America. Unfortunately, his personal chef got stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport, and was very late in arriving, so much so that he barely had time to board before the airship was set to take off. Fortunately, there were several hours before it would be time to prepare his master's evening meal, so instead of heading for the galley, he took the time to get settled into his quarters and take a nap as the airship began its northward flight over the Amazon rain forest.

They were well underway by the time the chef was ready to begin cooking. He made his way toward the galley, but before he could get there, he was surprised to find his master waiting for him there.

"Ah, I was wondering when you would get here. Come now, I have a surprise for you."

They both proceeded toward the galley, and when the chef opened the door, he saw that it had been completely remodeled since the last time he was there. There was gleaming stainless steel everywhere. Any appliance you could think of was available. There were convection ovens, fryers, griddles, Sous-vide machines, kettles, mixers, blenders... You name it, it was in this kitchen. The chef didn't even want to know just how much his master had spent on all this shiny new equipment.

After the chef had taken several minutes to take it all in, the tycoon finally asked, "Well, what do you think?" The chef just stood there staring, unable to come up with a reply.

Sensing the shock on the face of the chef, the tycoon replied, "Well, I see you're a little surprised by the changes, so I will leave you to it. If you wouldn't mind, I think I would like to have some fish and chips this evening. I believe you will find that the fryer has already been pre-heated for your convenience. Please let me know when dinner will be ready."

The chef continued to just stand there, staring at the newly remodeled kitchen. He never expected to see a kitchen this luxuriously appointed on land, much less on an airship. The tycoon, seeing that his chef had been staring transfixed at the new galley, finally tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with all this?"

It took some time before the chef was able to respond. Finally, he turned around, looked at his master, and replied:

"I never thought I'd be frying over a jungle."

Why are the bad guys in Giga Wing so self-conscious?

They're always afraid that their actions will reflect badly upon them.

That's right. Though most of the humor here comes from the ridiculous set-up, heh.

Bah, reading this thread backwards ruined Vexorg's joke for me. It's the most plausible account yet of how boss ships get to be so damn bloated though!

I was kind of surprised there wasn't anything about a last-minute mixup with the local fresh catch suppliers.
