Shalimar's weekly rap: slammin the house down ...
Bad boy bbeikoff Slamms the magic million mark. Another extrodinair modernair millionair debonair. A big well done bbeikoff "page one is runnin out of 7 digit space me thinks"

The Richter scale hits 40! Sceggs Rocks the OCAU:
Exsqeezme me please air sceggs is comin through, currently cruising at an altitude of 40K a day, please sit back relax and enjoy the flight. Looks like professor ralphy & the girls hit the red switch on da sceggs reactor. The 3 million milestone alone they wreaked this week & taken it home in da 40K zone.

What can i say, cause the minute i finish writing this they would have blown another milestone and climbed into a higher zone. Thank you for flying air sceggs. Way to go sceggs "The mind boggles lookin at the eoc stats"
 
Now adding a little bit more of it the_essence juss nailed the 320K Club cruisin for a bruisen doin 1.6k a day and keepin it dat way until he get's his 500K if i may say. Way to go the_essence

Anyway not ones to be slackers, the Slick lot at SlackNet slide straight into the 240K zone, a K a day in the brown and stayen around not leavin town SlackNet will take the bet and show us what's to come yet. Go the mighty SlackNet well done guy's.
 
Travelling smoothly in the Blue at 92K doing tha steady thing MoNk_LAH_ is gonna get ya if he has ta. Cause when he feels the need for speed.....he will belt the pedal to the medal then sit back and watch it settle. Fantastic job MoNk_LAH_, you are definitely one of the stayers. A big go's out to you.
 
On the approach into the 2mil zone, makon0 is reloading all cannons while idling at 9K a day ready to engage the 2mil + Zone. makon0 the tower that be full of power has a go for lift off. I can feel a Slamm comin on Honestly, way to go makon0 "this be the stuff legends are made of"
 
Anyway at the 190k zone with a heart of stone steady as she go's, Now DonTryThis is tryin everything in the book so he can kook the 200K spot to take the lot. Awesome effort & a big well done DonTryThis we knows you will try it.
 
Now let me see if i can call this:
Bhurak_AU has got his sight's on Bad boy bbeikoff
xylus[atomic] has got his sight's on DutchWink*OzForces
wet_sponge has got his sight's set on djr
Well eltoro2005 is still getting his horns diamond tipped so i will abstain on this.
makon0 got his sight's on mtech
Trinedy/REDFIRE got their sights on Twin Core Teddy2 Who just happens to have his sight's set on the Master Bollocks
Who in the meantime got his sights set on the 3Mil Mark
Whilst Razorback has his sight's set on DG DGROMS
And sceggs gots their sights set on plext me thinks.
 
Did i miss anything....hmmmm prolly did.

Does that make any sense.

Now if any of that made sense to you den you be a loop juss like me.
 
Shal's Slam off the week has got to go to sceggs i mean a 50K Slamm.

Shal's player whose the stayer of the week award go's to lamcdonald he juss don't know how to quit.

This week was hard on OCAU, but we have the right stuff, we got the will, we got the need, we have the passion, we have the hope. United we shall be triumphent. We will never yield for we are OCAU.
