Man in fine linen slacks: <calls up to pilot in cockpit through open window> Hey Yossarian, I almost forgot. Start your Spmalet drop about a mile and 1/2 EAST of your official drop point.

Hirsute pilot in crisp grey uniform with orange pinstripes: A mile and a half? What is there, a hurricane or something?

Man in fine linen slacks: Wind? No, no wind. I sold half the load to 2nd Sasebo Special Naval Landing Force. Little yellow bastards love the stuff.............

We experienced some serious time-dilation so for those of you who do not have a maximum improbability drive spaceship it may appear the turns are coming really slowly. It only seems that way because you lack the imagination to imagine anything other than the hidebound Newtonian universe to which you are accustomed.

Besides, after the Super Bowl halftime show I have formed a Black Eyed Peas fan club. I already have 22 hits.

************July 16, 1942************

South Pacific: Nadi was raided by Oscars from Tanna on a milk run. No Zeroes over Suva today. I guess they had enough of the US Marine Corps. Quite a few fighters have been moved to Noumea after JJ was caught with his drawers down there. 90 fighters at Noumea, 60 at Tanna now. The weather is better so the B-17's will go in over Tanna and try to catch some planes on the ground. Intel at Noumea now says TWO Jap CV's in port. I suppose it is possible the damaged CV's from the fight off Fiji put in there and are still too damaged to leave safely. If so, we missed a golden opportunity for a port attack on damamged CV's.

Big bombardment attack at Nadi today. We shall see what kind of shape JJ is in there. Two ground support units coming into Suva today by ship. I hope the fighters can cover them as they are highly vulnerable to Netties. Suva airfield is level 7 but with all the B-17's it is still wingtip to wingtip. SouPac HQ, another tank bn and some AAA is also headed for Suva and is about 3 days out.

Oz: JJ appears to be reinforcing air strength at Port Headland. Judging from the aggressive sub snooping near Perth, they are on the alert from a counterattack in Northern Oz. They also captured Babu Is. North of Darwin which takes away the option of a free ladning there. More tranpsort and AK activity near Darwin. Still not sure if they are coming or going. Mediums from Tennant hit Katherine today. Jap troops strength at Katherine has apparently declined which makes me think the divisions have been moved North and some are being drawn down for garrison or reserve duty in the DEI or PI.

The long planned B-17 raid on Wyndham goes in today.

Without even a scintilla of conscious effort, a quite robust internal security apparatus has developed in the Mandrake household. Mandrake Jr. and Stalker Girl Jr. have a serious, mutual, ovarian repulsive force field going on. This goes back to when Stalker Gril Jr's. boyfriend erroneously accused Mandrake Jr's. female friend of stealing his Ipod and Mandrake Jr's. friend retaliated by hilariously calling Stalker Girl's boyfriend an "illegal alien" even though she is first generation Persian-American. [:D]

So, naturally, both of them started informing on the other when they tried to sneak over their boyfriends during the day. Meanwhile, the "Mayan" can't stand Stalker Girl Jr's boyfriend either. I think he must have some Aztec blood. So the "Mayan" starts informing on Stalker Girl Jr. and pretty soon, Stalker Girl Jr. is passing information to Haupsturmfurher Stalker Girl about the "Mayan" not working very hard during the day. All along, because I pay the bill, the "Mayan" has been informing on Mandrake Jr.. I think Mandrake Jr. figured this out because she is the one who told me the "Mayan" was watching telenovelas during the day.

Who is informing on me? I am pretty sure the guy with the $10,000 mailbox is informing on me to Sharfurher Braun.

So, anyway, here is the game theory angle. If they could all just keep their mouths shut, maximum benefit would acrue to all, but this requires trust and there is substantial benefit to informing (revenge and a possible lucrative post in the apparatus) so the most desired outcome is inherently unstable.

Here is a simplified line diagram

Appreciate? No, that's too much to ask. Paying our bill for unsolicited advice and picking up the bar tab? That's quite reasonable.
