It's also when the commander needs to break out the shirtguns. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

It is why you want the commando to give you shirtguns....

Sorry <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

I am sure you could do a search on these boards and find the original thread...I believe it is under the artwork forum.

You might want to also search for "Scorpian that hovars without flapping"

The short of it, a guy made some wierd suggestions and it has now become an insider joke of sorts.

Writting the whole story would take a while, and it isn't as interesting as if you go through and find it and read the threads and look at the artwork.

SajberToffe · March 2004

Thanks all, I've been wondering for some time...

It was on ns_hera. A guy named Thorax, and myself were in a server when I found a small cliff edge outside the spaceport. He said HEY COMMANDO WE GAT A LORK ON THE CLORF I believe.

So In effect, I was the lork. Thorax was the...uh...screaming guy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Majin · March 2004

... Then a really nice Pic surfaced in the art work forums that was drawn to illistrate the "Lork on the Clorf". This further made the "lork on the clorf" more popular.

RobB · March 2004

it's where i heared of it.

i laughed my butt off... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

I'd try, but I'd lose to many brain cells. I knda need em, with my whole "wanting-to-be-a-nuclear-physics-major" bit.

Everytime I hear about the lork on the clorf, I shed a little tear for the fact that the bT classic "cover me guys, I'm growing onions" never went anywhere.

Boy_who_lost_his_wings · March 2004

some one needs to find the lork on teh clorf pic =\

Yup, I read the whole thread. I feel more enlightened, or that might just be because I lost a great many brain cells...

you can visit his clan for a bunch of simmilar half-whitted amusements at prodigyclan.com (or something like that)

Gliss · March 2004

Once upon a time, there was a channel on GamesNET (yes, gamesnet) called #scorpianthathovarswithoutflapping. If I recall correctly, they had some trouble registering the channel, as they kept wanting to shorten it to #sthwf...

Alas, it was extinct shortly after when NemesisZero locked the topic, and then when everyone moved to GameSurge, forgotten entirely.

Gah.. Thorax was so not the screaming guy.. I WAS ><
RAWRG! Misinformation runs rampant!
The basic story was I was specating on lunixmonster.. and CWAG was on the clorf.. and thorax may have been a marine, but later switched to specator. Anyways, Lunixmonster has its wonderful spectator chat plugin that allows spectators to yell at the people in game and so on.. So I tried to help the marines, but I really didn't feel like cheating.. so I found the most retarded misspelling of the message possible..
Thusly: Lork on a clorf.
Thorax of course snapped the screenshot and made the comic and got all the credit..

As for Delarosas comment, I highly doubt you would find simmilar half-witted amusements at prodigyclan anymore, since the two members of prodigy involved with the spread of lorks on clorfs have since left. Along with pretty much.. well, all the active memebers of prodigy.
Although you may be able to find less-than-half witted amusements. Possibly a quarter witted amusement here and there. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' />

LOL! Those pictures are great <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> I just visited the art forum there and realised what I was missing. I'll need to check it more often.
