What sad plagiarism. Can't you come up with a rousing speech that will be quoted for hundreds of years in iambic pentameter yourself. [8|]

The Mandrake band of the Cherokee do not believe in intellectual property rights, just ponies, blankets and squaws.


Besides 4 lines is just sampling, anyway.

[Cap Mandrake]

Besides, again, Shakespeare adapted it from the speech Mordecai the Baker gave to his drinking buddies when they went over to his brother-in-law's house to get his damn scythe back. The son of a bitch was always borrowing crap and not giving it back.


Well...that's what I heard anyway.

This bloke at the NAAFI truck looks like my father in law (seriously)

He looks like Chico [:D]

Quite possibly that is also Harpo wearing glasses behind the counter.


Send....turn...now

[Itdepends]

You'll have to excuse my ingnorence- but why did the coastal artillery attack anyway? and in Katherine? fleeing from Darwin?
 
I believe that tin shed is actually the local bar though..................
 
Still....on a lighter note.........Australia 9/472, leads England by 260. [:)]

To patch or not to patch?

[Itdepends]

You can dissect whether the patch is better for your opponent or not (although from what I've read- it favours the allies). Personally- I'd wait a few days- make sure the forum scuttlebutt indicates it's stable- and patch.

[princep01]

The patch allegedly fixes the ground radar bug and that is a biggie. However, as best I can tell, it does not fix the search arc problem. Mostly it is correctling the tower armor, some weapons corrections and adding the correct planes for various CV air groups received as mid to late war reinforcements and the like. It is said to be a comprehensive patch.

It does seem mostly about radar but there are many OOB patches. This one might interest you.

The Fireflies didn't carry a lot of shells, but when facing IJA armor, they could get "2-for-1", by shooting through the guy in front, and getting the tank behind as well, thus conserving ammo! [:'(]

[Onime No Kyo]

Am I reading that right? Over 250 tanks? Thats pretty lavish. [:D]

June 16th 1942. (I think)

Today the coarse fishing season opens. Oh to be fishing for a few tench in the pond.

Anway, once more JJ refuses to attack the redoubt that is Katherine. Me thinks 'tis time to beat an orderly retreat toward David Tennant. or Fawlty Towers. Or somewhere.

<Goes to look up who David Tennant is>

[Mynok]

Oh dear, he's lost his code book again. [:D]

[khyberbill]

He is up the Creek without that code book.

Unfortunately, the rafts carrying 2/1 NAOU overturned and the poor bastards were carried away by the salties. Only the CO survived.

so the good Colornel requires 2 supplies a day? the LYB's probably scoff at such luxorious extravagance...better send word to the air supply transport boys there's an emergency resupply operation brewing in about 6 days...
