This is funny. YMS 86 sent to the even swankier Kavieng to check for mines and scares off Jap ships unloading. Should have sent Canberra here.

KB disappeared for 2 days in a row. I think it is time to suspend landing operations at Buin and Buka and get the ships back.

Run Forrest, run! [:D]

Went to the supermarket to get some fresh vegetables and corned beef they advertised for $1.59 a pound. All gone. They were out of Zatarains gumbo mix and red beans and rice mix too. Annoying. No carts. Giant lines full of surly and anxious idiots. 1/3rd of the humanoids looked like they just ate 6 Adderall tablets. Retards buying $3 a liter flavored waters by the case because all the cheap stuff was gone. [:D]

I got the more expensive (not for the Irish) corned beef, some olives and went through self checkout so I couldn't get any booze. Had to go over to Rite Aid to get booze. It looked like AFTER the holocaust. Nobody there. Good price on Beefeaters so I got some. 30+ Martinis, at least. THAT's what I call prepping.

Nice Checkout Clerk: Would you like to use your Wellness Card number?

Me: For gin? <I couldn't help myself. Then I felt bed and tried to recover. How would like to be stuck at Rite Aid in your 50's right before the apocalypse?> Sorry, no thanks. Thank you for working today so everyone can get what they need, like gin.

Nice Checkout Clerk: Oh! Thanks! Have a nice day! <big smile>

I am feeling a little guilty. A friend told me about an app called plague inc. The idea is to start a plague that distroys the world. It has been out for ten years and has been played a billion times. I have destroyed the world four times in beginner mode.[:D]

Did you pick the Wuhan wet market as ground zero. [:)]

No Central Africa. I named my virus Ebola

Along those lines...there was a computer game 'Nuclear War' in the '80s. The 'winner' was the last country with people left alive.

Nope. I have subs out looking for her. She is beyond air search range.

Let me guess: nuns slapping the hysterical woman? Inflating the autopilot?

I am guessing it is the literal depiction of excrement striking the blades of the rotating air moving device...
