It's an opportunity for an honorable peace . . . barring Hans Blixt finding weapons of massive snow destruction. Has our generosity in sharing cider, churros and double lattes meant nothing?

The dark line moves closer and soon takes shape and suddenly the banner of the Holy Empire is unfurled, leading the charge of the Grand Churroian Special Conditions Force:: Of course the refreshments were wonderful. And they meant absolutely THE WHOLE WORLD to me. (reallymeanit)

I know she will charm the Royal Canadian boots off of you. You've got to listen to reason. I mean, I know we pelted you many times and caused considerable embarrassment, but now, really, it was all in fun. Really, it was. I mean with a name like markcanada and you enter the fray with these amazing snowball machines at bargain prices and the sexy way you described these machines and how they worked, I mean, have you lost your vision??? Now, I know you retreated because your Mom called you into dinner one night and you must have eaten that dinner for 3 weeks, but, think back. Would you not rather have a snowball fight with some gorgeous women with fantastic outfits on and great looking boots that really put the (wonderful) Rockettes to shame high kicking on top of smedley's wonderful snow covered hill in the glowing moonlight of a beautiful clear winter night with millions of stars in the sky??? Focus, markcanada, focus.

In order to bring sanity back to the snowfield, proposes arms limitations of the following: - snowballs to be composed of snow only - no rocks inside or use of ice pellets -- they sting, you know! - diameter of any snowball not exceed 4 inches - no use of performance enhancing delivery mechanisms (e.g. no slingshots, no "rapid fire", no snow cannons, no air launched freezing weapons) - All snow forts not to exceed two stories in height, and must be built with non-powered means (e.g. shovels) - no face washes -- that's just cruel - no using enhanced machinery, real or imagined - no innocent animals to be put in harms way again (and watch where you step around the penguins from the last battle) - the use of pscyhological torture(e.g. Britany Spears doing a technopop sample repeat of "It's a Small World" on a repeating loop) will be considered to be a war crime punishable by life sentence - the Starbucks/Krispy Kreme/Tim Horton's and Churrob Bar remains neutral and inviolate territory for warming up and cameraderie - there remain no limitations on fashion choices - the ladies may continue to wear their designer snowsuits to their hearts content. Stands hopefully and patiently and awaits a response.

Originally Posted By markcanada You know, I suspected that would be the kind of response I would get. : ) Dodges right, scoops up a handful, puts just the right pressure on to mold it into a good aerodynamic shape, lets fly at Smedley . . . {splat} PS. We are having unusually warm weather on the prairies this year. Depending on where you go, you might not even have decent snow for skilling.

I had no idea snowball fighting was so much fun!!! >>- the use of pscyhological torture(e.g. Britany Spears doing a technopop sample repeat of "It's a Small World" on a repeating loop) will be considered to be a war crime punishable by life sentence<< Boy, am I glad you put this one in. Reading this point, I know you have a good heart, markcanada.

Originally Posted By markcanada Although downed, MarkCanada quickly scoops up a handful, compresses, and lets fly, nailing trailsend squarely in the back after tried to escape after her last attack. Starts to wonder if EdisYoda is going to back him up soon . . .

Originally Posted By trailsend Well, well, well, EdisYoda has finished his hot mocha. <-----winding up and tossing regulation snowball back at Edis *splat*
Originally Posted By markcanada Ouch. That's gotta hurt. Decides not to stay too close to EdisYoda knowing the inevitable counterattack is no doubt coming soon. I'll just stand . . . . . . . over there. But I'll start to build up a reserve supply so I can avenge him. And asks him to have two hot churros waiting as I think I'll need a break to warm up soon (sad that I gave up my Canadian Tire Super Deluxe heated mitts with built in multi-head screwdriver and AM-FM radio under the new SALT - Snow Arms Limitation Treaty)
