How often is that said in one day? The world may never know. O.O
Well anyway, I was sitting here the otherday, playing Counter-Strike, and began to space out and think about my almost month away from StarCraft. After careful deduction, I shut down CS, and loaded up Battlereports to get the low-down on rescent SC gibberish. When I checked the reports, and found such reporters such as TIME, and Scottt. I finally just decided to try reporting myself, and see if it is really so hard, as it does not seem. I figured this out. "IT TAKES A SHIT LOAD OF FREE TIME." Anyway, now we'll actually start the report itself.
Myself being Terran, and Illusion, being Protoss began to square off in a 1v1 pubby. This is one old replay. I think its like, 5 months+ old :O.
Anyways, as anyone can tell you, Terran is the best race. If you disagree, <^> plz.
When I actually started off, I had a horrid split, of 3 not 4 and my gay block prevented me from scouting early without momentary Racks pause, which is of course, out.
The same went for Illusion or Orange, as he will periodically be called. He split his probes 3/4, but had the ability to scout faster. However that was kind of wasted as He went to 3 then 12 before coming to 9 :D. As things started to take form, I, observering that he was Protoss (we both selected our races) went the standard Factory + Tank + Block = owned Dragoon, idea.
Illusion continued to do his Pylon + Gateway + CyberCore = Range Dragoon(Which we all know ultimately fails 99.9% of the time.)
As my Barracks had just finished, I immidiately sent my SCV to scout 6 o'clock. As I did so, he passed a friendly probe. I figured, "Hey what the hell, he cant get passed an anti-ling block, right?" I was alittle frightened at what I saw next.
Thats right folks, a cannon rush. At first I was tempted to just leave as I thought he might be a newblet, but when my scout arrived I relized he actually had troops as well. So I continued to play the game. I fired up a tank and finished off the pylon at the brink of my base, and killed one incoming zealot, that he misguided to its doom.
He continued to do his Dragoon making until he reached the brink that most players reach with a Protoss vs Terran Build. That is of course, Robotics Bay. By this time I had a working Expansion at my natural, 3 Factories, 3 turrets around my minerals, 3-4 tanks by my expo, and 1 tank sitting where my comsat would go if I ever bothered getting it ;D.
Then the darkness came(or so to speak :p)
Look at the SCV + Zealot explosion!! ^^ It is a combination of Tank/Reaver attack, + Scv/Zealot Doom. That is SeXy. Anyway, I lost about 5-6 SCV's and 1 Tank(that was there and was unsieged.) He lost a Shuttle, 1 Reaver and 2 Zealots.
However during the chaos, and amist the gore, came a somewhat good idea.
 Although he raped my natural, he lost all but 2 dragoons. As you can see, he passed right by one of my turrets, that was in his 2nd natural, that I planned on using for my siege :D. However, as he moved out he started this:
![Bengalaas! Any story with bengalaas kicks ass =]!

The End?
As I rebound by relanding my CC at my natural and sending 9 SCV's from my main to reoccupy my Sexpansion(;]), I notice the lovly Turret sitting by Illusion's 2nd Natural. I decided to go from there with a Tank Push(which was the plan all along.)
So here I moved all the tanks that I had to orange's 2 Natural. I proceeded to move my push farther and farther to the south when I suddenly hit paydirt. An expansion, free for the killing. ;]
Son of a bitch! I beat that assholes expanse down, when suddenly 10+ zeals come charging off the cliff. I thought I was fucked when suddenly, I noticed 3-4 fresh Siege Tanks ready for battle at Orange's 2nd Natural(<3 rally points.)
After some fancy assed Tank micro and a little but of repair, I began to feel the delightful taste of Victory.
At about this point I feel the onset of the end coming. I quickly order all of my SCV's from my Natural to my push location at the bottom of orange's cliff. From there I shove them all onto the ramp. Illusion feeling confident that a counter attack might repel my advance, quickly throws 6 Zealots + 1 Dragoon toward my lower end of the cliff. Here is a quick look at that happening.
![Holy shit it worked.

![i sucked. write that down
-Squick[eu]](users/TheBlueRibbon/End.bmp)
So there it is. Illusion's hopes for victory, have been dashed by BlueRibbon's 9 and 3/4 minute fag tank push.
I would have to say this was overall, fun to write, and hopefully fun to read. As my first BR I do not expect an high grade but I think it looks pretty good.
Speical Thanks To:
1. Caught Naked for this gosuolio's guide to HTML.

For those of you who I forgot, oh fucking well for you. ;] jk Thanks to anyone I might have forgotten.
Lesson's Learned:

2. Terran ramp blocks with SCV's pimp.
3. No Storm = No Win.
Thanks Again.
