Keeping it alive... so - how did SGs trip with PG go?

Hai! Pichtuhs or didn't happen!

[Sangeli]

Maybe Mandrake is stir on trip? In parrarrer universe Japanese have been waiting neary a week for Mandrake to to give orders to his units. Japanese men can't understand deray since Japanese commanders have so graciousry offered to take Arried mens by ship to Burma to build rairroads for the Emperor. That best offer silly arried men going to get unless they prefer creaning toilets on the upcoming luxury liners to New Tokyo (formery known as Pearl Harbor).

[Cap Mandrake]

Hai! That exacatarry what-ah happen...except for part about creaning out toirets.

[Cap Mandrake]

Say...Sangeri handsome ferrow. Where you get arr of medarhs. Capturing arr of Commonwearth?

[Cap Mandrake]

Hory crap, that-ah was busy rast 10 days to go on recon mission to Seatturh and Victoria. Mandrake-san find out Japn-mens spies on Bainbridge Isrand arready get sent to Manzanar by bahstard
Roosevert. On othah hand, Boing prant you carr up and idiots take on broody tour. Seem rike one B-17 have-ah more aruminum than arr of Japan. Mandrake-san begin to wondah if war rearry good
idea despite arr of fun Japan-mens have on Bugis Street.

Canada-mens have-ah pretty nice fort at Esquimart Harbour near Victoria but-ah not have any ships. Hahahah. Besides, Victoria berow emergency reinforcement rine.

[Cap Mandrake]

Mandrake-san run into idiot at Bengal Room of Empress Hoterh in Victoria. Have brandy and try to
get interrigence but idiot say things rike, "Did I evah tell you about time we are on the wrong side of the Sittang River and the Little Yellow Bahstards landed behind us at Pegu? Bloody war crime if you ask me. I had to swim the bloody Sittang."

Hahah. Rike Japan-mens not arready know that.

[Cap Mandrake]

Seatturh have rearry good food. Pretty much anything come out of water Seatturh-mens put sauce on it and eat it.

One time pay $6 for "French Fries". Mandrake-san wondah what so Goddman good about $6 French fries. They cook in duck fat, that what. Uhhhhhhhhhh....

[Cap Mandrake]

Anyway, back to war in Pacific. Mandrake-san forget where at exacatarry.

Remember starving British-mens in woods near Brisbane? Werr, some staff idiot wait too rong for counterattack and Austraria 1st Division move in so 4th Division get ass kicked when attack. Japan-mens take 4 times casuarties. Now sitzkrieg in woods but at reast onry one division at Maryborough now.
