I could have kicked myself earlier today, I had the ideal opportunity for a photo to fit this week’s PhotoHunt theme. I had been playing the board game ‘Twilight Struggle’ which re-enacts the cold war struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Twilight Struggle is a two-player game simulating the forty-five year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional flares of warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States. The entire world is the stage on which these two titans fight to make the world safe for their own ideologies and ways of life. The game begins amidst the ruins of Europe as the two new “superpowers” scramble over the wreckage of the Second World War, and ends in 1989, when only the United States remained standing.
Well on this occasion things didn’t go according to plan and I reached 20 victory points half way through the game which meant immediate victory to me and I was playing the Soviet Union!!! I had thoroughly licked my opponent. I didn’t think of photographing the event until I had put the game away.
I was left wondering what to post when the following New Years Message arrived on my mobile. I am not quite sure what the sender is trying to tell me…
For more of this weeks PhotoHunt pictures check out tnchick.
Laughing my heart out here…:)
Very good. This could go viral.
I think maybe it has already!!!
It was serial text :-O
Teehee… one letter can make such a difference, can’t it? Incidentally, while setting up my ‘lick’ entry for this week, noticed that ‘lock’ had been an earlier Photo Hunt theme. So maybe we’ll have ones for ‘luck’ and ‘lack’ at some point… ;b
What a lovely play on words
Rather than … chuckle … starting a lickture
about Freudian slips, I am … caugh … echoing Claudia.
I think laughture is the way to go
Oh well, that does it. That’s the very last time that I let my dog borrow my mobile phone.
I am OK with the message if it is from Rackie
Ha ha! That sound like the Gendarme in ‘ello ello’ the old situation comedy about the french resistance in WW2.
Anyway happy New year again and may you have lots of licks!
Di.x
Maybe I need to reveal the secret of who sent the message. I wasn’t the only one who received it LOL
My friend, Arthur Bolstrom (who is the English/French Gendarme)writes:-
I was pissing by the door, when I heard two shats. You are holding in your hand a smoking goon; you are clearly the guilty potty.My Gid that was a god disgeese, I was complotely decieved by the wog, Trubes. You founded me oot.Is Cherie sinking by her piuno? Cherie often sunks as she is the fallen Madonna with the big whoosah’s but if you see me and recognizz my faces Trubes, lizten carefully as our agent will only zay it zust the Vunce.

Could you tell your friend Arthur that he shouldn’t be looking quite so closely!!! :-O
You lick those filthy capitalists, Cherie! Best of British, er, luck …
Mmm! I think I will focus on corruption…
Perfect!
I lick it~… I mean like it.
So the post wasn’t lack-ing?
It does make you wonder???? Are you in need of good lick this year? I guess it depends on where it comes from huh.
Have a great 2010. You can check out my licks here.
I think a lick from that quarter would be considered illegal!!!
My Sasha would wonder what was wrong with the message? It’s a perfect canine greeting.
She ‘helped’ this week.
From a canine I would welcome that message
Haha Cherie. Perfect timing!
LOL that is what I thought too
Ah, so you’re a game player are you?
Only in the sense of strategy board games which I am sure you knew already
But that ability would help if you knew something was right and wanted to play your cards to prove it
I am sure that is a skill you could use right now with AA
That is so funny – and great post for this weeks theme. I hope you have a great new year.
I couldn’t believe my luck when the text arrived
Mmm! well on this particular occasion. Licking my opponents was the only option!
Haha! Lovely coincidence. Happy New Year, Cherie.
Happy New Year Welshcakes
