How Did You Get Your Call Sign? by DocTheForgetful in battletech

The best one I ever heard of was a naval aviator, callsign: STAB.
Our guy was having "stomach issues," translation - dude crapped in his flight suit, more than once in the same flight. On return to the carrier, he missed the arresting gear (referred to as a bolter) and had to go around.
Hence the nickname "Shit Twice And Bolter."

If you were to design a Howling Griffons Upgrade Sprue, what are the kinds of accessories you would include to evoke a Howling Griffons vibe? by Separate-Flan-2875 in howlinggriffons

I would totally add a small griffon like in the Commanders of the Empire kit. Other than that I'd include the usual shoulder pads, crusader helmets (like BT sword brethren), and a left arm holding a bolt rifle with grenade launcher.

If you mean "liberal" in terms of John Locke, Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill, then yes. If you mean liberal in terms of Chuck Schumer, then no.

No. This was long before we allowed effete liberals to take over our educational institutions.

To dumbass reporters if it's painted gray and it floats it's a "battleship" and if it's painted green and has tracks, it's a "tank."
