[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7157886, member: 6777052"] [COLOR="#0000FF"]"How many of us are there?" asked Foghorn, who wasn't very good at counting past three. "Nine," replied Pur-Ging. "How does 'Nine Against Sparta' sound?" "Risky." "How risky, exactly?" "One a scale of Heroic to Crazy? It's round about Stoopid." "We could change the course of history?" "We could change the course of [i]our[/i] history, sure." "But I want to chop heads off." "So do all those Spartans. Ours." As the battle raged, Cholmondeley drew his friends aside for a conference.
