The rich fight back

My heart pumps purple pig piss

Is this on the 4th rotor?

That was an alliteration of 4 P's in a row, so, yes, it must be.

I think the QM is going to have something to say about this:

[sprior]

Operation Tony, the plan for the re-taking of Port Blair, is being planned. However we recently receieved intelligence indicating that Gran Nicobar hasn't been occupied by JJ. Also little Andaman only has a token presence. The occupation of either would allow us to block naval re-supply of Rangoon when we hit Ramree Island.

[sprior]

So, which do you think Cap?

[sprior]

The embarkation port for Ramree island will be Madras. This means we can approach perpendicular so the coast thus giving JJ less warning of the approach. If we left from Calcutta we'd be sailing parallel and close to the coast.

I think the QM is going to have something to say about this:

"Mohammed, it is God's will that this clever strategy will not work. Go down to British base in Karachi and see if 7th Armoured has REALLY big front tyres. Mustafa, start a small fire. We will fry up some goat rectums until Mohammed gets back."

The oggin ' is very beautiful without those grey hexagons. I think we will petition EPA to remove ours as well.

If the goal is to provide a base to put some seaplanes to detect LYB ships from coming up from Singapore, then either one should work. If the goal is to build it up and support a landing at Port Blair then, of course, Rittle Andaman is better.

If the goal is to build up the base and support Beauforts or B-25's for naval interdiction then Nicobar is better (although you would have trouble getting fighters in there). To build up either base would require naval support troops and a bunch of engineers and amphibous landings (they are 0 ports). It would take two or three weeks to get to level 2. this would, of course, telegraph your intentions somwhat.

Seems to me, if we want surpirse, and we do, then land at either base the same day as the Ramree force will be spotted, put 15 aviation support ashore and then 6 PBY's....et voila!

[Cap Mandrake]

Also, as Nicobar is still green, you could put some engineers ashore by SST and try to surreptitiously build to level 1.

I have one of those SST thingys complete with Captain Nemo somewhere in Oz if you need it.

"Operation Tony" to capture Port Blair. [:)]

I bought a 4 rib prime rib roast (11 lbs.) at the rich people's store (Pavillions) yesterday for $6/lb. I went to the poor people's store (Ralphs) because they had an advertised special of $5/lb. It turned out to be New York Roast, which is the New York steak cut but left undivided with a strip of fat on top. Looked damn good but I was worried I might dry it out too much. Also, there were lots of flip flops and cut off sweat pants and tattoos at the poor people's store. You pretty much never see tattoos (some of the women have them but they are on parts you can't see) at the rich people's store so it made me feel in the Christmas spirit.

"God bless us, everyone"

[Cap Mandrake]

Where does the apostrophe go in "oggin"? Anyone?

[Cap Mandrake]

This is the first year Mandrake Jr. (the youngest) has had her own earned money to buy Christmas gifts. I tried to counsel her to go easy.

Mandrake Jr.: Dad, what do you want for Christmas?

FAM: For you to learn to drive better.

[Cap Mandrake]

I love the "All Christmas Music" stations this time of year.


They run out of spirtually-themed classics so they turn to anything about Winter.


My favorite is "Baby It's Cold Outside". If you listen carefully, it is about a guy trying to get a girl drunk so he can....well....ermm...you know. She seems to want to in the worst way but feels constrained by societal restraints....and perhaps a desire to avoid throwing up for two months. Even more interesting is we don't know how old he is but he does have his own fireplace and she still lives with mom and dad [X(] There may, in fact, be a crime about to happen.


In the interests of the season, The World's Worst AAR would like to throw open nominations for the World's Worst and World's Best version of "Baby It's Cold Outside".

[Cap Mandrake]

JJ has certainly deduced the Northward thrust vector as he is reinforcing Taytay. We'll see if we can do something about that.

Ground attack at Cotabato today. Maybe the LYB garrison isn't prepped.

Lady Antebellum - a country version? Really?

Given the -35ºC wind chill here recently, I think Bullwinkle and I could do a duet, but I don't think either of us is the type to say "baby" to the other or make innuendos. Drinking rum-laced drinks by the fire is doable though, providing the talk is about WITP-AE.
Merry Christmas everyone, whether or not you celebrate the religeous part of it !
