Ooooooh! Nice!

would anyone care to explain?
That would involve a voyage into the brain of a VSFer. Not a good place to go on your own. It smells a bit musty too. ;)

They'll quiet down in a bit once they get past the gears and cogs phase and get 'round to the tea.

It's actually a steam powered piglet. With rivets (under the fur).

And he runs on tea, Ingenious.

Pistons
You can get cream for that.

You haven't got enough..... and the skies the wrong colour....

You're a tease Thunderchicken. I'm sure each and every person that looked at your title assumed with great joy that they were about to be let in on the newest and most fantastic way to simulate in scale our favorite heated metal fastener. Instead its just a woeful cry for attention.
You're the kind of fellow that yells "Broiled Cheese!" in a Cardiff cinema. lol
-
I thought we were going to have a serious discusion about the old Metagame "Rivits"?
Where did it all go wrong?
-
and dinosaurs...

Indeed, it's a reflection of my growing insanity in the face of Crimbo preparations at Chez Thunderchicken.

What do you buy the twin that has everything ;)
You can never have enough rivets. :D

Wankle rotary engine (maybe not VSF but sounds naughty ;) )
Crank shaft
Grease
Ooh, I'm getting all carried away...
cheers

Whalebone corsets?
-
Stirling Cycle Engine.
Doesn't sound as naughty but it's in period. Just a shame it's taken over a century to be taken seriously.
-
Flange
A word that always brings a smile to the face :D
-
More Rivets! :)
(Can't really ever have enough, can you? And one needs to ensure that that recently played Flange Plate is properly riveted!)
-
Have you lot been at the drink early in the morning again lol
A little something to keep you going :D

Ooo - is that a Levenhulme self-sealing countersunk rivet in the corner of that pic? :D

Almost. It's a Levenshulme self-sealing countersunk rivet. It's important to get these things right you know.

Thats not Bob rivet, it is Mallamullet lol
-
This thread is all too much for me, I need to go and have a sit down!

Bezzo, the first picture is a Flank Armor Piece picture shot of a Steam Tank Mk V.

Fully charged Tessla Coils ready for action SIR!

I believe he is asking about the rivets. If I had to guess I would say they look to be about a 30/128 malamute headed soft steel rivet manufactured at the Chunderthicken steel works in Manchester. The rivets were known for their ease of application but they tended to shift a bit during peening and could pop right off under stress.
-
Whalebone corsets?
Whale oil beef hooked!
-

I just knew you'd say that, soooooooo predictable. ::)

I'm confused. Time for a drink.

How about characters?
Aging gentlemen... Holmes, Challenger, Nemo, Quatermain, & Griffin.
Let see how good your knowledge & memories are with that last name!

Griffin
Without checking or Googling, you're either referring to the Invisible Man, or one of the chaps who went to Mars (there have been quite a few by different authors when you actually think about it).

Mooring mast.

Mooring mast.
Oooh, if we're stepping up that far, I'll see your mooring mast and raise you an aluminum-impregnated cellulose acetate butyrate!
*edit* god, how many typo's in one line?!?!?

No offense, dear Sir, but I find that comment a bit dopey. ;)
-
Cavorite
-
Oh, I say, just now on eBay... A cavorite tea trolly complete with Cherry friction-lock riveted steam plant, suitable for expeditions & or dim-sum parlours. Get it while it's hot!
-
And powering it all, Welsh anthracite. :D
You're a tease Thunderchicken.
You're the kind of fellow that yells "Broiled Cheese!" in a Cardiff cinema. lol
It's true, I was there when he did it. ;)
-
I'm game.
I'll buy my way out of Flux with an Aetheric Modulator, and as I threw an 8b on my infinite-sided die, I'll move my Prussische Dampfbetriebene Luftzeug to the Brighton Pavillion (don'tcha know, what?)
That should put the leopard among the flamingos.
-
"Isambard Brunel.... in the dining room.... with the spanner!"
Damn, you sank my dirigible.

Egads! Flanked! it seems all I can do now is fix mechanical bayonets to my Fotherington and Tyrrell Automaton-Fighting-Suits and go down fighting!
-
This has gone too far for me so I shall play my Quilted smoking jacket and fez! :)
-
Yes! I knew someone would fall for that. I built a hotel there 2 moves ago (using a Klingon cloaking device). As a result you owe me 2,000 bars of cold pressed latinum and must go to jail immediately.
Oh and naturally your polarity is permanently reversed.
Now wait a second, I'm not sure this is allowed. We'll have to check the rulebook.
-
what ever happens make sure that all moving parts are well lubricated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
GILBERT AND SULLIVAN!!!
-
I passed the random drug test with a Lumpkoff 3 and will launch an eatheric cavorite guided missle at Mornington Creasent Tube Station.
cheers
James
-
Sorry, I've gotten confused.... which piece am I, the Top Hat or the Hanson Cab?
-
@Bezzo; In fact, I was more concerned about the ‘Klingon Cloaking Device’. I think you’ll find that section 8 on page 94 of the rulebook (volume 3, of course) clearly states that the use of non-earthly Ether machines to directly affect the flow of the game is strictly forbidden, except on Thursdays, where they can be used between the hours of 4 and 8.
Mornington Creasent
Well, you've got us there. I think we have a winner.
Also, Terranef. How many points does that get me?
-
I'm with Svennn on this one. I think I'll don my smoking jacket, pour a large brandy and sit back and watch.
That's after I've been to Hartlepool to buy some exploding trousers.
-
Are you using any triple word squares?
'fraid not. It's got a steam powered Tesla cannon though, if that's worth anything. Oh, and it's Captain is called Curruthers.
*rolls a die*
I got an 8! What does that equate to?
-
Astounding quality. I shall brew a nice cup of Dai Hong Po for each of you when you return from whence the aether has you suspended.

It's from an old radio show called 'I'm sorry, I haven't a clue' And they played this daft travel game at the end that had no rules but someone always eneded up with Mornington Cresent at the end and won ???

Looking at the 1995 edition, appendix 4/c it means you have to travel to Mars and uncover the secret of everlasting life...
Good luck with that (I'd of rolled a 5 if I were you ;) )
cheers

Edited for naff spelling
-

Dangblastit, man! They still make that radio show! I'm not that old yet! lol
Now that the game has concluded - who can recommend me a rivet that can handle an aetheric shear of at least 2000 Lorentz-Pascals?
