Ok, I'm really confused about how trolls relate to sports

but on the upside, you're getting closer. I actually keep Trolls and Dragons and other such things in the things I'm spying.

Tackle box?

I suppose fishing is indulged in as a sport by some people. And you could use the boxes for the storing of miniature figures (of say dragons and trolls) of the minis gaming variety which might as well be as much of a sport as fishing.

Well yeah, but not what I was thinking of. The thing I spy is rather utterly not nihilistic in either form and/or intent. That's not really a clue by the way so don't strain any brains trying to figure it out.

I live in the midst of mile after mile of three floor walk ups. Plants are a rarity. Hell half a mile south of me is a little strip of grass between a bus turn around lot an the street. Maybe 150 sq. ft. of grass with, like, one scrawny little tree (think Charlie Brown's Christmas here). They put up a plaque proclaiming it an official city park.

Desk is correct.

Because there are help desks. George Smiley (the protagonist of a number of John Le Carre novels) was for a while at the Northern Europe Desk at the Circus (fictional equivalent of MI-6) this was a bit of a bad clue as I remembered the posting as being the Overseas Desk - my bad. And of course a desk is a bit of furniture that one frequently bangs ones head against at work - figuratively one hopes.

Unfortunatly I'd just conquered the Germans, because they'd declared war on me, and then went on to destroy the French, cause they were all French and Stuff. I didn't want to fight anyone else, well not right away anyway, but the Greeks and the Spanish declared war on me, because my "arrogant nation must be crushed".

Arrogant? I had just developed nuclear weapons and they're declaring war on me, while they're most advanced weapons are cannon, and I'm the arrogant one? Good bye Athens and Cadiz, stupid Enlightenment agers.

Unfortunatly it turns out that use of nuclear weapons are somewhat of a faux par, so everyone declared war on me then.

It was alright though. About 200 years of warfare later the Inca's fell to my nuclear and stealth bomber bombardment, and I had final control of the entire world.

Which was nice.
