Based on my initial sociological studies of Sunset Beach, California (just north of Huntington Beach), EVERYONE that lives there is a severe alcoholic. Well, statistically it is 96.5% +/- 2.3% with a 2 SD confidence interval.

Emphasis on the words 'standard deviation'. [:D]

Yes, I was wondering if that meant the rates of alcoholism are different for LGBTQ and generic all inclusive brain genders. We should ask Cap if any of them were hitting on him at that bar ... [;)]

No, I was thinking mathematical deviation. One bar serving non-alcoholic drinks could really pull the average rate of alcoholics down.

Remember when Bart called Moe's bar and asked for Al Coholic?

I also earned the magic 500 pts per day Burma Road dealie only works if you have Bangkok and everything up to Tsuyung. The supply that is flowing is therefore by standard rules

Having a clear road from Rangoon to Tsuyung is all that is necessary. The Bangkok-Rangoon portion has been interdicted by the dirt roads endemic to the area, and a stretch of jungle from Chang Mai to Pegu if you take the rail line to its terminus.

Oh, right I meant Rangoon not Bangkok.

I think perhaps you are confusing Laguna Beach with Sunset Beach.

What about Venice Beach? I thought that was the place to be for (whatever 'those' people are supposed to be called these days). [:D]

[Cap Mandrake]

Venice Beach is a weird mix of stoners, skaters, body-builders, IT millenial types, homeless schizophrenics and tourists.

Laguna Beach is the gay scene, artists, hare krishnas, homeless, really rich people, fantastically good looking and expensive to maintain women, better informed tourists

Are there any 'normal' people in S. Cal.? Don't answer that...

I spent a lot of time in Huntington Beach before the end of the shuttle program. They seemed normal. Also I miss Inn N' Out burger.

Yes, Huntington has a broad mix of people. Definitely more egalitarian than Newport or Laguna. Pretty rowdy place at night. The bouncers actually look like bouncers and nobody wears a tux. You don't see as many homeless dudes at Huntington. I think it's the city council. [:)]

Speaking of homeless, whatever happened to Kato Kaelin?

[Cap Mandrake]

He founded the Kato Institute I think.

So Pocahontas Girl came over the other day and announced that her ex had an 8 year old daughter he hid from her. It seems he would banish the girl to her grandparents when his kids with PG came over for the weekend. This was discovered because there was a locked room at the other house and his youngest son stuck a spy camera under the door and saw a pink room.

I used to try to defend the guy but Sweet Baby Jesus! There is a picture of the newly discovered half-sibs together. It's very beautiful.

The other good news is she stayed over and my love seat does NOT have a new wet spot! Also , she cleaned out the left-over homemade blackeberry whirl ice cream I made in 2018!

What about the homemade strawberry banana yogurt jello pie from 2017? It's turning green. [X(]

Does Bloody Mary mix count as a vegetable serving? I ran out of tonic and I don't feel like going to the store.

I have this stuff called Zing Zang. I think that is actually the CO of 32nd Army in Chungking. He's only a 42 on land combat but the guy can mix a drink I'll tell you.

[Cap Mandrake]

He must be from Szechuan because it is broody spicy. Columbus would have become a Chinaman if he ever tasted this stuff.

Hory Christ! Mandarake-san thing Japan-mens get that thing Professor Oppenheimer work on.

Actually it's not as bad as it looks. I think every damaged plane got hit 4 or 5 times. Runway is toast however. The F4F squadron now has a morale of 14. [:D]

FAM: Hey, Moana! The F4F squadron at Babo got hit pretty hard. I ordered them back to Darwin for R&R. Can you and the SouPac Gals fly up t to Darwin and do the native dance show? And take the costume chest labeled "Bikini Atoll". That should do the trick....

You mean the chest labeled 'Tops' or the one labeled 'Bottoms'?

[Cap Mandrake]

Both. MacArthur might be there.
