Small World ("You're the Best Around")

[rogartheranger]

At last finally the bragging rights are mine again following a comfortable 112 point-victory over Heidi and Russ in tonight's game of Small World, thanks namely to my awesome line-up of Wealthy Elves, Dragon Master Amazons, and Comando Sorcerers!! Spurring me on to victory was an inspiring line-up of motivational backing music from some of Heidi's (and mine) favourite 80's movies such as Labyrinth, Transformers the Movie, Karate Kid, and Rocky IV, which I must add that Russ absolutely loved to bits - so much so that he suddenly lost the will to live by Turn 3 and threatened to throw my laptop out the door. So just for you Russ, here are the lyrics to Best Around (which is quite apt in this case to mark my return to winning ways) so that you can sing along again with Heidi and me


TRY TO BE BEST
CAUSE YOU'RE ONLY A MAN
AND A MAN'S GOT TO LEARN TO TAKE IT
TRY TO BELIEVE
THOUGH THE GOING GETS ROUGH
THAT YA GOTTA HANG TOUGH TO MAKE IT
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
TRY AND YOU SUCCEED
NEVER DOUBT THAT YOU'RE THE ONE
AND YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DREAM

Chorus
YOU'RE THE BEST---------AROUND---
NOTHING'S GONNA EVER KEEP YA DOWN
YOU'RE THE BEST---------AROUND---
NOTHING'S GONNA EVER KEEP YA DOWN
YOU'RE THE BEST---------AROUND---
NOTHING'S GONNA EVER KEEP YA DOWN

(Cue the inspiring guitar solo )

Anyway your "comfortable" victory actually amounted to about 4 pts and your music selection (or outrageous '80's tosh as I prefer to call it) with all its synths and big hair was an intolerable cheese-fest that - played at tooth jangling volumes - almost certainly put a severe crimp in my gameplay.

Such were the methods employed by the victor, but still well done mate, well done...
