*******Lexington Reservoir, near Los Gatos, California, 23:30, August 9, 1943*******

A small motor launch approaches a beautiful, new PB2Y. Flawless aluminum shines in the full moonlight. The light is strong enough that one can make out the orange and gray paint scheme. There is a small brass plaque near the door that reads "Manufactured for Admiral Chester Arthur Nimitz, Consolidated Aircraft Company, Buffalo, New York, June 23, 1943". Her guns removed and extra tanks added, she was built to be the personal transport aircraft of CinCPAC. The reader might then assume the motor launch carries the Admiral. The reader would be wrong. The USN declined to take possession of the custom PB2Y. It was some embarrasing miscue over wing deicers or something of the sort. Instead whe was declared unflightworthy and sold for scrap aluminum for $380 to some lawyer from New York.

Two beautiful Fillipinas in grey and orange uniforms wait at the door. It has been a long day, the 8:15 flight from Honolulu after the Planning meeting, nearly 12 hrs. in the air, a dusk landing on the reservoir and now, another long flight planned. A third woman, no less beautiful, with Germanic features also waits at the door.

Beautiful woman with Germanic features: <calls out to the approaching launch> How did the meeting go Mr.Minderbinder?

Young man in fine linen trousers (now creased): Swimingly! He loves the story idea. I think the iceberg photos won him over.

Beautiful woman with Germanic features: <covers her mouth with her hand as she laughs>

Could this be our link to our Dana Wynter look-a-like. Hmmmmmm

It's the lovely German spy who seduced Lt. de Groot (i think i spelled that right) and a certain hairy Captain of the USAAF.

Well, if she's hanging out with Milo now, at least she's moving up the food chain...She could end up as the First Lady before all this ends. [;)]

Has she switched sides or do the Germans want to know what is going on with Milo?[:D]

Well, since Yosarrian knows about her (i think... he got called in for questioning about her, iirc), and he hangs around with Milo, and now SHE hangs around with Milo, this could get interesting...

The plot thickens[8D]

The plot thickens[8D]

It's been a week +.

Mandrake, put down the egg nog, kiss the last remaing fresh young LVN in the clinic lingering under the mistletoe, and
GET BACK TO THE WAR! [:-]

Of course, if you have been skiing up at Bogus Basin or Sun Valley with Stalker Girl, then of course all is forgiven...

"Bogus Basin" [:D][:D] The most tragically misnamed ski "resort".

OK, Mr. Smartypants, how do you know he doesn't get cut in half by Jap war criminal 20 mm fire as he descends under the silk? Hmmmm?

Last Christmas I got Stalker Girl a really cool set of black pearl ear rings and necklace. It was a chunk of change involving numerous pictures of Mr. Franklin. She liked them but chided me for not using "her jewler" because it could be inferred I "paid too much". [8|]

Holy Hell! Who has a personal jewler if your last name isn't Onasis or something? It's not an elitism thing as I was being gently corrected for overspending, although I am still not sure if I should have bought roughly the same set for a lower price or spent the same and got bigger pearls. [:)]

On balance, it seemed like a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode.

So this year, I wised up (I thought). I asked Stalker Girl a few days ago, "Would you like something practical this year?" I was thinking a cool food processor or something but she seemed to be worred it would a new cyclotronic vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter.

"What do you mean, PRACTICAL?"

I am going for a bed and breakfast gift.

Wait...I just thought of something...what if she invites someone else? [X(]That would be a real punch in the gut.

"Hey beautiful, what time do you get off work?"

T. Woods (2005,2006,20062007,2007,2007,2008,2008,2008,2008,2009,2009,2009,2009,2009,2009,2009,2009)

Well, the way things are going he won't be a POW long. Unless they put him on a sub to get him to a POW camp in Japan........

The other night, about 4 AM, I was getting up to take a leak. That is annoying enough, but it was also cold. It was cold enough that I began to think...you know...if you lived in an igloo you wouldn't have to stumble across the igloo looking for the bathroom in the dark, you could just stand up and find a sutiable section of wall. After a couple of nights you could have yourself a nice night stand.

Anyway..young De Groot is in and out of trouble.

*******Isolated Beach, Northern Sulawese, 00:12, May 22, 1943*******

From two small outrigger canoes, a light blinks in Morse the letter "M". From seaward, the signal is returned. The canoes silently close the gap. The silhouette of a surfaced submarine appears. The first canoes bumps into the submarine hull. Astonishingly, the canoes are powered by three beautiful, bare breasted Sulawese women in each canoe. It is not so much astonishing that they are beautiful or that they are engaged in a dangerous activity in the middle of the night or even that they are bare breasted. It has more to do with the interplay between firm young breasts and paddling and the action of waves. Take my word for it was soemthing to see. In the lead canoe a young man in a fine silk shirt begins to speak.

Young man in a fine silk shirt: ITO-SAN! You crazy SOB, how the Hell are you?

Submariner:Miro, why you bring womans?

Young man in a fine silk shirt: Partly for the sheer aesthetic grace of the things and it also is guaranteed to parlyze MP's for 2-3 minutes. I got to tell you Ito-san, you act like you never saw a naked woman before. How are things between you and your bride?

Submariner: She dump Ito. She say she want man with ronger fingers.

Young man in a fine silk shirt: SON OF BITCH ITO-SAN! War is Hell. Well, you take your cut of the money and find yourself another girl. By the way, where are you operating from?

Submariner: Manira.

Young man in a fine silk shirt: Well get the Hell out you crazy SOB. Y'all are getting your ass kicked in the PI. Got the gold and the package?

Submariner: Yes. <He issues some orders in Japanese, a clever move on his part as few of his crew speak Engrish and absolutely nobody aboard speaks Portuguese. Four sailors lower a very heavy wooden crate into one canoe and a tall, beautiful woman with Germanic features steps into the first canoe.>

Young man in a fine silk shirt: Hey Ito-san. You tell that skinflint Yamashita he still owes me for the rental property in Java.

Submariner: Ito no tell Yamashita he skinfrint. Ito rike to rive.

Young man in a fine silk shirt: <He signals for the canoe to push off> OK, Ito-san, just tell him we need to renegotiate before any more ops. AND WATCH OUT FOR ICEBERGS.....

I take great pride in announcing the Board's prospective censure of a contributor to this forum whose sophomoric postings often portray women in various stages of undress or, when fully clothed, in subservient roles or even traitorous...<POOF>
