Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

We have another offensive op lined up?

Yes, been meaning to ask you about that. [:D]

What do you think? Take advantage of JJ being on his heels?

How interesting....I wonder where the linguistical heritages of South Pacific Islander and Yiddish merge....must be deep in the cracks of early history, for sure.....

Given that he seems to be talking about geneaology, I am betting it is the begetting crack not the Sodom and Gomorrah one.

Advice Needed:


I just discovered I have TWO lawnmowers (when I went hunting for the drain snake to clean out the roof drain). Now, here is the hard part. As I haven't cut my own grass for at least 5 years do you think I should keep them just to keep the gardener on his toes? I wouldn't want him to get complacent.

All depends, if you sharpen the blades and make sure you don't run over tree branches you are fine, but all depends how bad your yard is - if its a bunch of oak trees then forget it, but if its just tall grass then just cut half a deck length and you are fine.

No, I don't think I was clear. I hired Saul, my Mexican gardner with the Jewish name to mow and blow. If I let the grass go for 3 weeks with the HOA we have I would be writing from the rec room of a federal prison. I am thinking I should wheel out one of the mowers next time he comes by and pretend I am changing the spark plug just to put the fear of God in him.


Bah....he'd probably see right through it anyway.


By ra way, anyone think the Solomons attack will work? I don't have a good feel about how long it would take to build up to a level one airfield after landing.

[sprior]

Yes, been meaning to ask you about that.

Are you channeling my dau and/or wife now?

We need a shed load more recce first.

You are probably right. Perhaps just land at Ndeni in the Santa Cruz Is. and build up there, plus something at Nauru to hold the spot for future use. Much safer.

The P-38 recce variants can reach Lunga and Tulagi from there....and the B-17's. Ndeni is 0(1)/0(5)

We can let NC and points south whither, let's see if they evac of their own accord.

[Cap Mandrake]

Paired bases at Rossel Is (SE of New Guinea) and Ndeni would be unpleasant for the thousands of WJD's on New Scotland owing to the difficulty of resupply. It might even make them give up the base if we could retain air superiority over the two bases.

Right. No need to land against big opposition. Much easier to invade a base we already own.* [:)]

*See Rossel Is/Ndeni Proposal above

Much easier to invade* a base we already own.

Ah, yes, the "manifest destiny" thing. Even a cargo cult is a big improvement over worshipping the volcano god. Utensils for eating, trousers, shoes, bouses for the women..well maybe not, just the ones over 30...perhaps some cricket...and there you have it.

[sprior]

No, the manifest destiny thing is all your own. We just want to spread cricket to the unenlightened.

Very noble of you lot. What happened with the Mau Mau's then? Did they just want to change the rules or something?

I could take a NZ brigade to Ndeni? They would know the rules, right?
