RE: On retainer...
I cant say for sure, but it sounds like that situation might turn a bit awkward. [:)]

Don't Blame Blamey
Not one Jap carrier in sight. I dont think an invasion of Northern Oz is in the cards..but who knows. The enveloping force for Perth is not yet ready to give up the ghost..so the US 32nd ID volunteered to come help.

If there is a website with her pictures I am going to be seriously disturbed. [:D]
You will have to do your own legwork:
1) Find a former co-worker (preferably female) 16 years younger than you who has been harboring secret fantasies about you for 10 years (this can involve suddenly sweeping all work material off your desk to find an emergency flat space or...well..I guess thsi part doesn't matter)*
2) Make sure she (preferably) lives many hundreds of miles away
3) Then say (this is crucial); "Dang woman(preferably), it has been so long since I have seen you I forget what you look like. Can't you send me some pictures or something?"

I find this very disturbing. I have trouble seeing Mandrake saying "Dang".

Situation, Burma (it just sounds better without prepostions, don't it)
There are now 7 full infantry division in the Burma/Burma Road fight.
Anyone know where the 70th Div lived originally (Dec 7, I mean)

It's about 120 miles SW of Nanking. That division has come a good way to play in Burma.

Glossary
Editors Note: A number have readers have complained about incestual terminology and jargon in the narrative. We judge this to be a valid criticism. We have therefore instructed staff to compile a glossary of terms in the event the reader doesnt have time to review WWIIa and WWIIb (to date). Thank you.

********************GLOSSARY OF TERMS**************************
SOB....Literally, "Son of a bitch". While generally an offensive expression implying descent from a canine on one's maternal lineage, it is also used in a jocular fashion by certain figures in the narrative. When preceded by the word "crazy" (as in "crazy son of a bitch") it can actually be a term of endearment among some.
Color of scarcity is green.....A reference to the inelastic behavior of the supply-demand curve during periods of severe scarcity of a desirable good. This applies either if the scarcity is naturally or artificially created. One of the most desirable features of war is its ability to create circumstances where scarcity is found. This is good for the world economy in toto and particularly good for the purveyor of the scarce product, most commonly an enterprise called M&M Enterprises, which rose to prominence during the war. The full expression is "the color of scarcity is green and it has pictures of dead Presidents on it". This refers to the ubiquitous paper currency of the U. S. of A. The origin of the expression is in dispute.
Sir Mixalot.....(aka "The Chief") The former head of a race of Hobbit-like people from the Island of Flores whose average adult male height is a striking 3 ft 2 in. They are averse to wearing pants but thoroughly enjoy baseball-style caps. The former Chieftain of the Hobbit-people acquired the more widely known eponym "Sir Mixalot" because of his amazing knowledge of cocktails demonstrated while chief bartender of Yossarian's Home in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Tragically, he was driven from his true love by an absent carpal bone, which is a unique trait of the little people from Flores.
DAB.......(Darwin Anti-personel Bomb) An amazing cocktail of the boilermaker family attributed to Sir Mixalot although attribution is not clearly established. It consists of Whiskey, Foster's and Creme de Menthe, which, when combined abruptly, form a fulminating mixture of high alcohol content. The rapid consumption of the product allows part of the reaction to occur within the stomach and esophagus of the victim, thereby speeding the absorbtion of the alcohol. The effect is devastating though the victims seem to enjoy the experience at the start.
Margarita......A delicious frozen adult beverage consisting (usually) of Tequila, Triple Sec, salt, the juice of Chilean limes and trace amounts of ethylene glycol. This is also claimed with some plausibility by Sir Mixalot while in the employ of 90th Bombardment Squadron (Medium), USAAF during their duty in New Zealand. The drink is said to have been developed only after the chance misordering of 144 gross of Triple Sec (due to a base 3 to base 10 conversion error) and a severe cash shortage of the Chilean government on the Galapagos lease-back deal.
90th Bombardment Squadron (medium), USAAF......the pilots, crews, command staff and support elements for 16 B-25C medium bombers. A militarily inconsequential unit with outsize influence due to its unofficial affiliation with one of the most vital and innovative economic entities West of the Hudson River. The squadron was also home for the Green Party ticket for the Presidential election of 1942. Lastly, the squadron was renowned for its discovery of the phenomenon of "Global Cooling" and for the "brain freeze".
(Cont)..I need to go to work [:'(]
