There are about 4 square blocks of downtown SD devoted to drinking

The last time we were there we stumbled across this http://www.shakespearepub.com/

Looks like it was fun. Is it still there or did Mr. Obama send it back with the bust of Winny?

I don't know what to think about that. Seems kinda shady. I see three possibilities:

1) They are moving stolen Nazi art pieces.

2) If you respond, they ask for a $4000 money order made out to the Commiittee for Art Support and Help (CASH) to defray the cost of instruction materials. This is to be sent to an address in Lagos.

3) It's a money laundering scheme for th Arellano Felix cartel.


Whatever yu do, just make sure they have dental and vision coverage.

I wonder how many antitank guns 14 Brigade dragged across the Burmese jungle? Against a Ronson, a PIAT would work but my kids had Nerf guns that shot further. Much fewer tanks in the attack today. Only 80? Wow...looks like we Nerfed 520 of them yesterday. 14 Brigade holds on...but it's not looking good. Meanwhile, the Chindits are closing on Myitkynia.

Then there is this. A detachment of 86th Naval Guard, on garrison duty in the Marshalls, has been assigned to find female companionship for the unit as Tokyo is short of Korean Comfort Women and the free market charges too much. Radio intel suggest a detachments of WREN's on Nauru.


*****************Nauru Island, 08:20, Jan 31, 1943(c)*****************


25 Japanese Naval Guard troops surround a bunker carved from bird guano and covered with palm trunks. There are firing holes at intervals around the bunker and an artillery obervors periscope protruding from the roof.



Lt. Watanabe: Give up GI! Where WREN's?

Maj. Reginal Tomkins, CO, and last surviving member of Wren Engineering Detachment: My good man, we have no WREN's. This is the Wren Force Engineering Detachment and I am no GI, I am Major Reginald Tomkins of His Majesty's Armed Forces.

Lt. Watanabe: Give up or we kirr you.

Maj. Reginal Tomkins, CO, and last surviving member of Wren Engineering Detachment: I shan't

Lt. Watanabe: Whata "shan't" mean?

Maj. Reginal Tomkins, CO, and last surviving member of Wren Engineering Detachment: It's a contraction for "shall not". First person singular, future tense, but don't quote me on that.

Lt. Watanabe: Whata "shall not" mean?

Maj. Reginal Tomkins, CO, and last surviving member of Wren Engineering Detachment: Look, you annoying little man, did you come her to fight or for English lessons? I've been waiting for you baaahstards for 14 months. Are you coming or not?

Lt. Watanabe: "Engrish ressons"? <grows visibly agitated> Son of bitch! BANZAI!!!!!

The cry is answerd by the Naval Guardsmen. There is a tremendous volume of gunfire lasting 30 minutes. When the guano dust settles, one can just pick out the spotter periscope searching..moving.


Ground combat at Nauru Island (127,128)

Tour Guide: "And just remember, be extra careful in the countryside between 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock in the afternoon."

Tourists, in unison, with looks of combined wonder and concern (the kind like being apprehensive, not like sympathy or empathy): "Why?"

Tour Guide: "Because, my naive foreign friends, in Morocco 2 to 4 in the afternoon is the time of day when goats jump from the trees!"

Tourists, in unison, with widening eyes and a drawing back (not the artistic kind of drawing, the movement kind): "Uhhh!!!"

Tour Guide, in a menacing tone and posture: "And do you know what is that sticky stuff on the bottom of the goats' hooves? Do you? It is slow tourists!!!"

A proper RN joke:

A matelot dancing around Jo's spots (unbelievably) a nice looking bird in the corner. He asks her if she'd like a drink to which she replies
"To be honest do you just fancy taking me home?"
So he takes her home and gets invited in, she asks
"Do you mind me asking, but are you a sailor?"
At this point he knows he has blown it but tells her that he is indeed a sailor
"Oh that's great, my grandad was a sailor - you're the first one I've ever met! Do you smoke?"
Well Jack's over the moon and he answers yes whereby she goes out into the kitchen and brings out 100 Blue Liners!
"You can have these if you like, I don't smoke and they've been in the cupboard for ages! Do you drink?"
Well Jack asks for a lager but she comes back with a bottle of pussers rum. At this point he looks up to the heaven and thanks the God of Jack for this goldmine!
"Do you mind if I slip into something more comfortable" she asks to Jack's delight
When she returns she is wearing a see through nightie with every ship, past and present on the hem. Jack can't believe his luck now, then she purrs at him
"Do you want to come through to the bedroom and play a little game?"
Jack replies
