Lord Admiral von Sprior? It just doesn't sound right.

No, not really. <goes to look at map to make sure Graf Spee has snuck up behind me into the San Diego to Sydney oceanic super highway>

Who said you could vote? This is not a democracy.
They don't vote in constitutional monarchies? Oh drat!

Go with the crows - A murder.

It has a nice ring to it. That's what I'd vote for if this wasn't a benevolent dictatorship..

uncle with the Hun in the Great War?

No my real family history of war-fighting is:

Great-great uncle Killed 1918 This is probably what did for the poor sod.

Both grandfathers fought in WWII, one captured at Dunkirk, the other fought in India but he died before I was born.

My dad fought in Korea.

I hid in a submarine from mean Russians.

Well if they aren't benevolent I'm sure not going to be the one pointing it out. I could end up making an opposed landing against elite imperial troops in fortified positions by myself with part of a field kitchen, $6 dollars in invasion currency, and a Tannese translation pamphlet...

Two muscular native gentlemen 'assist' a disheveled american pfc with 'ARGOS' stenciled above the left breast pocket around a velvet rope and toward a seat at a table in John Frum's Kava Club. The PFC seems to have experienced some sort of trauma as he mechanically repeats over and over 'You cant believe how ludicrously fast those imperial troops are.'

First muscular gentleman to PFC, 'You will be happy to note that tonight's $10 cover charge includes a date and the world premier of a new play, Arsenic and Old Lace'

PFC Argos, realizing that things could get worse, snaps out of his trance and replies, 'But I only have $6'

Second muscular man, 'Well then let me introduce you to your date for the evening, Ms Sapphire "Choko" Nakamal'.

He motions for a large woman with pasties that look to have been created from the unaltered bases of a BL 8" Mark VII powder charge, who begins to move her 35+ stone frame towards the table.

PFC Argos scans frantically through a damp, tattered pamphlet pauses at an entry and then shrieks in horror.

The entry, 'Choko: a foul tasting indigenous vegetable; also slang for: commando.'

I'm guessing 35+ stone is a lot for an "exotic" dancer [:)]

I know a guy that happened to...and he was wearing shorts. [X(]


By ra way, since when do people in Idaho use "stone" for a unit of weight?

It was an unadulterated suck up to Lord Admiral Sprior...

35 stone times ~14 lbs per stone = not good....

Say, I've been meaning to bring this up before but I had a great grandmother by the maiden name of Heinkel. To my knowledge, she never did any aircraft design.

LOL, so did I. I was on the 637 boat (deep diving, fast attacking, torpedo firing, subroc launching, depth charge dodging USS Suckfish). Yours?
