About every third song band guy say "This is one of band biggest hit from 1982". Mandrake-san raugh at joke every time because band guys not-ah born into worhd arready by '82.

Horizontarh base prayer have tattoos arr ovah prace and hair stick up rike Pawnee-Indian-mens. Onry probrem have security guy not-ah ret bring in sake in fake remonade botturh rike rast year.

Hai! Mandarake-san armost forget. Wah, stirr on. Mandarake-san perhaps hire consurtant from M&M Enterprises because Mandarake-san apparentary not-ah understand mechanics of hexside thingys. Troops South of Marysborough get-ah trapped when NW hexside suddenry turn ovah to Arries even though nbody go across. Then same thing happen to NE hexside of 144th Regt West of Marysborough. Big screw-up. 144th Regt probabry arr sacrifice serves for Emperor. Evacuation of troops South of Marysborough start tonight with crappy rittah barges. Japan-mens brow up rots of Arried-dogs ships in fight but Japan-mens army probabry rose entire regiment. Probabry vacation ski virra in Sapporo off of taburh.
