Upton Sinclar has turned many of High School student into vegetarians ...[:D]

I used to pretend to be a vegetarian to meet girls in college. Put a "Save the Whales" sticker on your notebook and hang out at the vegetarian cafe. Quite pitiful really. I gave it up when I realized they didn't shave their arm pits.

Hmmm .. I went the opposite route .. I aggravated the veggies ..especailly the evangelical types .. "Look read the Territorial Imperative .. eyes to the front of my head and sharp pointy front teeth -- I was desgined and destined to be at the top of the food chain ..and if you keep eating veggies like that . .your eyes are going to evolve to the side of your head and your going to get really nervous when drinking water ..." [;)]

Mrs. Chickenboy was reading about Solarists-another one died this past week. For those unfamiliar with the practice, these individuals believe that solar rays alone can provide sufficient sustenance for them to live:

Smart people what. I guess the lack of Chlorophyll and inability to photosynthesize doesn't stop 'em. Good on you, girl. You go! Express your individuality-don't let scientists tell you that you can't do it!

[:D] I like the eyes evolving to the side of the head bit, but are you saying you would not hold your tongue on the benefits of nuclear power in order to get laid? That is some serious dedication to the cause, amigo.

You don't always need SBDs with 1000 pounders to take care of shipping - I just sank a Jap CA using P40Es carrying 500 pounders. 22 aircraft @ 100 feet got 13 hits for one flak loss. Don't try and use the P40B if you still have them - no bomb capacity.
Did you train the pilots in LowNav skill?
This was in the Philippines one week into the war. Low Nav skills for that squadron's 22 pilots range from 16 - 40 , average maybe 28. It helped that the target was large and had struck a mine [just one] at Bataan so was a little slower than usual. He has been attacking Clark Field and Bataan but these aircraft were based at Manila. Mini KB was not in the area to provide CAP.

If they are going to act as solar panels, shouldn't they at least have the decency to wire themselves into the electrical grid for the duration?

I find your lack of support for the Breatharian (sorry, I inadvertently referred to them as "Solarists" previously) movement discordant. At that rate, you'll never be able to populate the 5th dimensional world of Breatharianism, BBfanboy and princep01. [:-]

Perhaps you can both find your inner peace through the Breatarian Society of America, gentleman. This is a good place to start on your journey:

Oh, while you're there, you can buy "Elixir of the Gods"-genuine water from the fountain of youth (conveniently located in the 5th dimension). It's a mere $1,000 / 32 oz. bottle. Plus $50 for shipping and handling. [:D]

I hadn't realized before that it was a Breatharian movement that invented what we 3D'ers refer to as 'ice cream'. S'truth![8D]

****************Haha-Jima School of Yiddish Comedy, Jan. 5, 1943(c)***************



Lt. Hata: <nervously, on stage> The food here is rousy and the portions are rearry small too.


Mr. Berle: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Look, Lt. Hata, I'm sorry, but you have to pause after "the food here is rousy". It's called comedic timing. You see, the joke is in the incongruous juxtaposition of the lousy food and the small portions sizes. Try it again with the faintest hint of a smirk between the two lines. It's about 3 beats..just enough time for one sweep of the audience. <turns to assistant and speaks quietly> Get me out of this gig. Now! I am beginning to think they are congenitally incapable or getting it.....

****************Later that night, Mr. Berle's trailer***************


Mr. Berle: <to assistant> OK, get these shipping intercepts to Mr. Minderbinder and tell him these are the last ones. I'm not falling for his "service to the country" bull ****. I want out of this gig. The food is lousy and the portion sizes are samll too.

I suppose this could be either good or bad. Probably bad....

That is slanderous sir! Or maybe it's libel? Either way, my left eye looks nothing like that!

I think the bigger question for the Cap'n is why his Allied SigInt is completely 'bare'. Someone's not loading the right bits of the Allied save files into his directory.

Seriously, dude, you've got to take advantage of the Allied SigInt in the game. It will help dramatically.
