Mandrake, I beg you, don't forsake the purity of your essence!

"Essentially", that is what happened. After a couple of glasses of a delicious tea from Long Island, she told me she was married [X(][X(] Clearly I "misunderestimated" the Lemba Voodoo meaning of a cylindrical bone on top of the hourglass shaped one. At least she payed for the tea and bruscetta.

Well, checking my Voodoo handbook, the cylindrical bone on top of the hourglass bone means "you're screwed". Of course, there are many ways one might get screwed, and nowhere near all of them can be considered fun...

I hate it when "signs" have multiple meanings. They realy ought to do something about that. BTW, none of you guys are from Idaho are you?

If you guys are ever nominated for a position on the Supreme Court this kind of banter will come back to haunt you.
 
Hey, Cap, is your game still going on at the same pace as ordinary or has the decisive nature of the Battle of Perth discouraged your opponent?

[:D] I am more worried about my housekeeper who may or may not have a green card....and then there is the employer Social Security tax issue. Oh..wait..I never went to law school either...ah never mind.

The game has definitely slowed recently as we used up a lot of psychic energy with three to four pitched battles simultaneously (Perth, Midway, Yunan, Burma Road). Sometimes it is me holding things up too...like when my ISP went down for 5 or 6 days.

Burma Road update coming soon.

Nah, sounds like she was just laying out the ground rules so you knew you'd be jumping on a trampoline instead of a water bed... [:D]

I think you misspoke. Did you really mean to say "trampoline" or did you mean to say "a steeply-sided pit lined with sharpened bamboo stakes"?

Ye Gods! She kept using the word "fling", but I had a mental image of .30-06 round being chambered followed by a trip to taxidermist.

Maybe "fling" meant "I'll give you a five minute head start"?

I hope he has a bolt action so that if he misses cap at least has a chance to run.
