You're a doctor - you must know someone who gives testosterone injections? If not then maybe ChickenBoy can give you one meant for a horse. Come to think of it that might be what you need.

Ouch! Well, does it count for anything if I tried to imagine Audry Hepburn with her clothes off? Surely that is a mitigating factor?

I also had a really bad headache this morning. Anyone know what that is from?

I just did some experimentation. There are two routes in the Westward approaches to Darwin, one hugging Bathurst and the other along the Australian coast. We can try to mine both and post PT boats at both as well as a bunch of subs. The nightmare is Musashi and Yamato getting through to the transports when we are unloading [X(].

As of the 24th, no sign of the big boys.

I was made to go and see The Hunger Games yesterday. Not as bad as I feared.

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany's?” She said, "I think I remember the film” And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got" ....

Speaking of testosterone, the drug companies are marketing patches and gels after Roger Clemons gave the "vitamin shots" a bad name.

I had this really fantastic marketing idea...they sould combine testosterone and viagra in the same gel! It would break all box office records.

Also, this observation about Breakfast at Tiffanys, is it just me or did George Pepard seem kinda...well...you know...not that there is anything wrong with that. Talk about helmet hair. He made former Sen Edwards seem like Bob Marley by comparison.

You have a point Cap .. I mean the low dose Cilias regmien is very popular especally men cheating on thier wives and do not want a divorce [:D] Now making Viagra hydrophobic and dependably absorbable though the skin ..[8D]

Well sure. Even better if you were watching a porno remake.

On second thought we might have Cap confused with Catherine the Great. Did she play war games?

She's also in a film called The Beaver, which is not about what you think it is.

That is surprising. In 2012 one would think anyone wanting to make a film titled The Beaver would run into copyright problems.


No...turn...yet....facial twitch getting worse...starting to talk to myself...well, more than before I mean.




I had another brilliant marketing idea. A line of warm comfort pajamas for women with cute animal graphics. I know what you're thinking, "Mandrake, that has been done already"

Not really, see the idea is you only sell the bottoms, no tops. The line would be called "Hello *itty"

Yeah, no kidding. I mean, Indiana Joan and the black hole of Mamoo seems a stretch (erm..) to keep up with the genre. The whole Beaver entendre has got to be beaten...erm..done to death.

I think evry plane type in both sides inventory was lost yesterday. Merry Christams.

You can't see it on this list but a P-26 trainer destroyed an airship over San Franciscio (they were playing chicken).

Also an Anson trainer over...oh Hell..what is the capital of Australia again...never mind..anyway, an Anson was lost to a bird strike, from behind.

I really hate Mondays. First, I have to work like a LYB becuse one of my partners is at bed rest at home with a twin pregnancy...backslider. Then I stumble home, feed the worthless dogs and then Stalker Girl wants to talk shop. Meanwhile, I have a severe case of invasion interruptis. Then, I sit down to eat my beans and rice, put on a Netflix thing about the making of Steely Dan's Aja which promptly puts the little girls into a coma. SG asks for carnal servicing but I told her firmly...only once a day...sneak into the office load up the turn, tweak a a couple of air groups and sleep overtakes me. Bah.

The two understrength P-38 groups are beat up. The P-38G group at Alice takes replacement aircraft and will be out for few days. The group at Gove is sent back for R&R. This means the B-24 attack on Wyndham today will go it alone. One of the Beaufighter demi-squadrons is wrecked and is withdrawn. The few Beaufighters and the F4F's at Gove are ordered to sweep over Darwin.

Bathurst is confirmed to have no garrison. The assault group for Bathurst (the elite Torres Strait Bn. [:)]) might be able to reach the island today but will hold back with the Darwin Assault Group. We still don't know if Darwin has assault guns. One of the B-17 squadrons will be set to port attack. This might tell us.

Admiral Lord SPrior has a night raid planned for Mandaray. This may cause Admirar Rord Fabertong to curse him and order some industry attacks in China like he did when we attacked oil faiclities in Burma. [:D]
