Thank you sir.

I am now being tortured by my ISP. I think they may be working in concert with the homeowner's association, the Franchise Tax Board of California, and the Department of Motor Vehicles but I am unable to confirm this. I know they are all trying to torture me, I just can't prove yet they are in it together. Two "cable guys" [;)] came out today to fix my cable connection. The first guy couldn't find the streetside cable thingy but he did seem to be talking tinto his lapel every two minutes. The second guy said it was too far away from the house in an accusatory tone like it was my fault or something. He says they have to "pull cable" and another crew will be out in two days. How stupid does he think I am? The thing will be loaded with more microphones than the wiring at the US Embassy in Moscow. Anyway, the war is on hold.

Where did I put that medicine bottle?

The "thingy" is called a terminal box[:D]

I'm quite sure there is some way for Milo to profit from the war being "on hold." [:D]

I'm surprised the Americans aren't bivouacking in layers on Midway.

They could use the damaged ships as barracks as well.

Major Koolhaas eagerly spreads out of huge blueprint of Sand Island divided into a meticulous grid. Eagerly, he explains the details.

"It's like this. The density of US troops on the Island is roughly 1/37 sq m. So I have divided the Island into some 55,000 5x6m rectangles with a 2m wide communication lane running North/South between every row and an East/West access every 4 columns. This space in the NE is for the artillery and heavy equipment. It is possible to get to any other point on the grid with only 2 turns and a maximum travel of 2.43 km. I figure we can bring in some palms and other native plants given time."

Much impressed, his superior looks over the design, studies it for a minute or two and then asks, "Major, where are the latrines?"

The blood drains out of the Major's face. An awareness that 800 hrs of design work has gone for naught begins to dawn on him....."SHIT!"

Let's hope nobody gets the runs.[:D]

Oh, and have the quartermaster put all that prune juice back on one of the freighters[:D]

After a week of missions, 1st Lt. De Groot of B1-VIG-I is not only alive but getting dangerously cocky. He is gaining about 5 experience points per day. [:)] He had 2 missions to bomb Imperial Guard Division support elements but the rest have been to attack enemy transports operating singly or in small groups with little AA fire.

[DuckofTindalos]

Well, he does have a bit of catching up to do...

[HMS Resolution]

I wonder if Lt. De Groot is an ancestor of Scarygoround.com's lovely Esther De Groot?

I knew the flag officers were mostly historical in WITP, but the 1st Lt.'s [X(] Check this out from the BBC WW2 People's War site!

[DuckofTindalos]

Ooops![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

[BrucePowers]

Somebody, please tell us what's going on. Please,[:D] Please.

[DuckofTindalos]

Nothing like a good old press-ganging... Even if the press gang in question is a beautiful woman with a pitcher of suspicious-looking liquid...[:D]

[BrucePowers]

Not about that[:D] I know what a press gang is. I read all the Hornblower books.[:D]

I want to know what's happening around Perth[:)]
