Re: GP3 Will Be Released in the US!

How does one "accidentally" post a message like that on a web site? It's not as if all you have to do is hit a wrong key. As usual, Hasbro's pullin' your cranks folks. Like I said, I won't send one red cent to those grubby bastards. ymenard wrote:

Right on, Bob! Come the revolution won't be no more of this crap! The bastidges! All everybody's doing is trying to lull us into a false sense of security, then BOOM! Right in the neck! If it ain't the Commies, it's the Fed, and if it ain't the Fed, it's Hasbro (a well-known leader of the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, and the Rosicrucians, and also suspected in several alien abductions). Scully and Mulder are right: Hasbro plans to sacrifice humanity to an alien overlord, who'll put our bodies in cocoons to hatch their vile, soulless young. No more Mom, Apple Pie, or Chevrolet -- nothing but rank upon rank of mindless automatons shouting "Heil Hasbro! Heil Hasbro!" Come on, Bob...you 'n' I will grab our weapons and food cache and head for that bunker in North Dakota. They'll never take us alive! Bart Bob Curtin wrote:

Wow, Bart, I'm sort of flattered. I've never before had somebody take excerpts from four different posts (out of context) just to make fun of me. Got a lot of time on your hands, do you? (Uh, excuse me, I've got to iron my KKK hood.) Barton Spencer Brown wrote:

Yes, I just got an identical e-mail with the same text. It looks like GP3 WILL be released in the US. It just didn't make sense why they would ignore the US market. So, no need to get your panties in a whirl, everyone. From the backwaters of the US market, John Nelson pqt2 wrote: > Got this message from [email hidden].

Got this message from [email hidden]. "Sorry for the inconvenience, that was a mistake on our website, GP3 will be released in the US next year, along with everywhere else. Mike Scott" This was in response to my Feedback Email to Hasbro. Paul

So the announce on the website was just there to create some sort of fake hype and to spread the word "Gp3" to every simracing fan's mouth. Typical of Micropr.. err Hasbro :) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Didn't work for me. Still not buying. Perhaps if they actually have a multiplayer system that rivals that of GPL/N3 or better, then MAYBE. ymenard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PH3N3.11057$[email hidden]...

Byron Forbes! Yeah, that's the guy! Most succinctly summed up in the following famous lament from about April 1998: "I find Byron Forbes extremely offensive. Am I the only one who is having a problem with him or are there others? Why does this NG tolerate such behaviour from him?" He was (and I imagine still *is*) a piece of work. His website -- the infamous "Lightning Bolt Racing" -- is still up, though I didn't check to see how long ago it was updated. Ahhh, memories, memories! Bart

Thanks, Unc! I must venture the opinion, however, that your joy at the return of the prodigal is probably not widely shared among the congregation here! Now who *was* that Ozzie with the great sense of humor? Let's find him and restore a proper sense of lunacy to this NG... All part of Life's Rich Pageant�! Bart

Bartman, I don't know where you've been hiding these past months, but your return to this NG brings me a lot of joy, now if we could only get Bruce's fellow countryman (forgot his name of course) back in here, then we'd have the whole show going, I love it........ -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/

Byron Forbes !!! Where are you Byron ?
