There's one on the forums... hmm.. lets see, where did that go...
Ah, here it is...
Sorry boys, I'm already in a commited relationship with a certain... ... "honeysweet" guy.
"There, perfect.."
Spoon lighted the last candle, and then blew out the match, putting it beneath the wax-torches lighting the dark room. He grabbed a wooden bowl, and sprinkled roses all over the floor, leading to the bed, then proceeded to take of his shirt, revealing the manliest musk since the days of Swallows' Lumberjack times.
"My badger is going to love this, I can't wait to see the look on his face." He said, inadvertently thinking about "his other face". Needless to say, a tent was pitched in the room, on that thought. He strolled to the bed, and greased his manly chest in a musk, which could only be described as the nectar of Zeus. He fetched a rose and placed it in his mouth, not minding the accidental prick in his finger, bleeding ever so softly.
The Sarge' checked the block, then put it away, as it ruined the darklit mood of romance. In that very same moment, the door open slowly. Sarge' only barely managed to hit the stereo, set to play sensual jazz. HoneyBadger stared through the darkness, looking at the man on his bed. A smile lit up his face.
"You've been waiting here the whole time..! I-i'm sorry, I had to wrap up some guys. I-i mean, we were playing together..!" He said, realising how it had sounded.
"Shhh, you look so cute when you blush." Spoon said, getting up. "Let's see if you get any cuter with your clothes off.." Spoon embraced Honey, and then started to work his clothes off, a soft moan exhibited from the Badgers' mouth, staring into the ceiling with an estatic expression.
Together they moved, Spoon spinning and turning, Laying Badger down on the rose-covered bed, as one hell of a night erupted.
Never to be continued.

From: shaelyn
oh my god I just verbally referred to our CSRs as CAs – slip of the tongue
From: Daemacil
You’re probably fine as long as you don’t load burst rounds into the multipliers.
Be sure to keep the fax machine buffed, or we won’t get that memo out.

Firstly. Dude. I told you not to tell anyone about that.
I got bubblegum in my hair, and that was the easiest way I could think to get to get people to not notice.
Also, did I ever tell you guys about the time I was in a restaurant, heard the group behind me collectively say "Happy Birthday," and thought for a solid minute of how the best way to reveal that James T. Kirk was right behind them?
Yea. Thank God I caught myself.

When your toddler son calls down the mic to a near full lobby: "Man the Aft guns!"
-
When you get depressed for spending all day getting Raid at the refinery to get that one win as a gunner but lose because your team is consistently retarded... despite the sage advice, the constant evidence of 100% correct as to look clairvoyant, giving kill after kill after kill to a pilot that can't give arcs worth his salt and despite it all?
Continue looking for Raid at the refinery to get that one simple ass victory (I'm seriously considering becoming a gunner pilot to get the win)

When your daughter pops her balloon and your son shouts "Oh no! Fix the balloon! Man the aft guns!"

Anyone else see the newer three musketeers? (with Bloom and Jovavich if that helps any) It has airships. I wanted to yell commands for most of the time I was watching it like "POINT THE FLAMETHROWER AT MORE THAN JUST THE BALLOON!" and "Damn, that engie is not getting a commendation"
-
When you catch a cold and everytime you sneeze it burns, and that reminds you of incendiary ammo. (Incendiary nose anyone? No no, wait. Greased nose. ITS RAINING MUCUS. Or. Say. Lochnagar nose.)

I cant tell you how many times ive had teams extend time unanimously just to keep the lobby open

I feel like most veterans enjoyed lobbies of icarus. I miss it. The problem with crewform is that it's less social and you can't even prepare for the match you are going to play. It's just additional waiting since players can still draw out the lobby as long as they want afterwards. Damn it Muse, i wish you understood your own game a bit more.
-
Grahhhhh. I hate it when people mention LoI, because then I get all jealous I wasn't there. :'(

Well it was fun.
Hopefully when you were a moob you disliked lobbies.
-
When you are in a lobby and the bards are there, taking requests, and then you get dubstep gregorian chants and Jewish dubstep out of it, and the lobby turns into a sing-along of "Hava Nagila (Dubstep Remix). And you nearly die of laughter. (I was laughing higher than the C8 octave the whole time, and could barely
talk squeak words.)

on 3 occasions i have gotten to finish reciting the entire script for the stanley parable (i love that game to death to the pathetic point that i have the majority of its script memorized and can recite it on the spot) its fun playing the game orraly in the lobby since then everyone gets to vote on what path to take
-
Grahhhhh. I hate it when people mention LoI, because then I get all jealous I wasn't there. :'(
i feel your pain i was there way before the matchmaking system was added so i got to use that old lobby system and it was wonderful but the current team i run are all friends whom i got to join the game way after the matchmaking system was added (they still cant fly for the life of them so im stuck flying not that i mind i cant repair or shoot even if i was held at gunpoint)
-
78. i think we are on right??? well anyway when you know each and every person personally that you are playing with. (oh how nice it is to be a small community its amazing this game stays afloat with only 200-400 people online at a time normally games need at least 1000 from what i know to stay afloat but this game somehow manages to thrive with this community) i cant wait for the ps4 community to come in so much fresh meat ... i know im a jerk for saying this but im going to enjoy being that captain to take on large numbers of new ps4 players and telling them to do their own thing((i love to help new players but my method of teaching is a little odd since i just throw you in a practice session with me and start attacking basically forcing them to learn through doing and trial +error works really really well with some and others just get pissed))

79? When you have a dream about a hot fix, which changed Minotaur gun. It was a projectile gun that had a large explosion as a termination effect. It was soooo darn cool.

This is what it should have been!
And to everyone who might have been confused, I didn't get to experience Lobbies of Icarus, so I'm jealous because there was no WAY for me to be there.
