FreeSpace and Pants. Read on. . . .
on: April 27, 2003, 10:33:47 am
What lines from the FreeSpace series can be made better using the word 'pants'. I came across the idea of this on a websitre which had the top 10 Admiral Piett lines(from SW) that could be improved with the word pants. We're using the English defininion of pants meaning underwear here. The rules: only one word may be replaced with the word 'pants'. Organisation names like the 'Hammer of Light' etc etc may be replaced totally with the word pants. Or not, it's up to you.

This topic will probably die quickly (perhaps for the best?), but never mind. Anyway, here are my two:

'After 18 months of fighting, Admiral Bosch's pants has become the most significant threat to regional security since the Great War ended 32 years ago.'

and

'Support, need more pants here!'

Can you do any better?
'Honour the valiant who fall beneath your sword, but pity the warrior who slays all his foes' - G'trok, in the poem lu geng

'Clarification is not to make oneself clear, it is to put oneself in the clear.' - Sir Humphrey Appleby

Why not visit the Time of Change website?

Or perhaps my own website - Telencephalon

Hmmmm Very silly topic but okay, I'll bite (not on Bosch's pants though).

from Bosch's monologues
What if there had been countless races, stretching back into infinity and like the nine cities of Troy, each civilisation had been built on the pants of the one that came before.

This is the final entry in the personal pants of Admiral Aken Bosch
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Collosus:  "Command! The shivan juggernaut is ripping our pants to peices! We can't hold them back much longer!"



And a few from the mission with the NTD Repulse:

"Don't be absured Koth! Your sacraficing ten thousand pants for nothing!"
SM110_COL_02

"This is the GTVA Collosus, Admiral Koth, you are ordered to power down your pants imediatly and surrender!"
SM110_COL_01

"I have no intention of escaping collosus, nor will i surrender!  Even if i send my pants to hell with you, this monstrosity will be destroyed!"
SM110_REP_01

"Your cynicism appauls me Collosus - I have ten thousand officers and crew willing to die for pants!"
SM110_REP_02

And possibly the best:
"Evacuating forward pants 400 through 1200 - bringing pants to bear! Axuilliary pants stand by!  All pants brace for impact!"
SM110_COL_03

-that's a classic.

"Your cynicism appauls me Collosus - I have ten thousand officers and crew willing to die for pants !"

"Go to red alert!"
"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

how about "Pants integrity failing!  Get me outta here command!"

or how bout "This is the GTVA Colossus, fighters stand clear of hostile pants, all batteries fire at will"

maybe even "Over 80 shivan pants are now in position around the Capella sun"

and possibly "DIVE DIVE DIVE, HIT YOUR PANTS PILOT!"

and we can't forget, "We gotta wait 15 minutes to change our pants"  ... pretty much the same thing anyway.

plus "Negative Command, we'll hold them off here!  Just get the pants through!"
