Obviously, Wang's men must have run out of supplies, and their morale was way down... and of course the Commander must have hand Land Combat = 10, Leadership 10, Inspir = 10 ... [:D]

No not Wang Mang! [:(] (I got the post right this time. [:D])

Nah, the 59 mile bug got him.

[:D] Yeah, that's more like it.

Edit: It wasn't Wang Mang's fault, Bob. [:'(]

The taxi driver?

Just got back from vacation and got a message from the Chief about the promotion. She went with #2 (a lock from the start) and #4 (one of my fellow detectives). At least she did not go with #1 and #2 or I would have really regretted choaking and ending up #3.

Unkbown how long the list will be held for but I am strangly relieved.

Can we stop crossing our fingers now? It's really hard to type that way.

Nope now you need to keep them crossed that his new boss has a nervious breakdown

More like two. I come back for two weeks (minus the 2 vacation days and the 4th of July holiday) then I am off for another two weeks. The place shold be a shambles by August 1. [:D]

And you had to walk 20 miles to school up hill both ways in the snow[:D]

Sadly, as I get older I find myself saying thing like this. Around here school closes with an inch of snow. I remember walking to school in 5 inches. And don't even get me started on research papers. Pre-Google the world was much different. Anyone remember mnicrofeesh?

Actually it was only about two miles. In Dunbar, West Virginia during 1960, school buses were something we heard yankees had to ride in the big cities. I walked back and forth to school, alone, just like every other kid except for the sissies who had to have mommy drive them.

And not only microfeesh, but mimograph, with the sweet smelling ink that let you know every page was fresh. Also horror movies about train yards and automobile wrecks designed to scare the bejesus out of elementary school kids. Trains still scare me to this day. And "duck and cover". Nevfer forget duck and cover.

The Drivers Ed film of which you speak is "Blood on the highway" and I had to sit through it. The shop safety film I had to watch was "It didn't have to happen". Can't look at a table saw without experiencing a flash back.[X(]

I remember mimographs from Middle and High School. You had to turn a drum and you got blueish/urpleish copies that would turn your fingers the same color.[:@]

Ah...Duck and cover. In case of nuclear attack hide under your desk. We did these drills until I was in 8th grade. My school had the fallout shelter symbol on it. These kids today don't know what fear is. Of course when I saw this my mother mentions the Cuban Missle Crisis to remind me that I don't know what it is either. [:D]

And today's Nik sighting:

Nope we just had to fear an overprotective society.

I guess I was not the only person to hear this claim. Check out today's comic:

[ctangus]

ORIGINAL: rtrapasso

Year 23:

Greek geographer Strabo publishes Geography, a work covering the world known to the Romans and Greeks at the time of Emperor Augustus - it is the only such book to survive from the ancient world.

Tiberius' son Julius Caesar Drusus dies. From that point forward, he seems to lose interest in the Empire and occupies himself with the pursuit of pleasure.

Aelius Sejanus begins to dominate the Roman Senate and Tiberius, after the death of Julius Caesar Drusus.

Gaius Asinius Pollio, Gaius Antistius Vetus become consuls


Liu Xuan, a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family and leader of insurgents against the Xin Dynasty, proclaims himself emperor against Wang Mang.

June, Battle of Kunyang, After being sieged for 2 months, 9000 insurgents under Liu Xiu defeat 450,000 of Wang Mang's troops, ushering in the fall of Wang Mang and restoration of Han Dynasty.
i can hear it from 2 millenia away, Wang Mang screaming "This is TOTALLY bogus!! The land combat model is SCREWED! i seiged this place for 2 months and 450,000 troops are defeated by 9000 untrained bozos?? AARRRGGGHHH!!" [:D] [:'(]

I wonder what he thought about CV reaction rules...

[rogueusmc]

Or when the effects of the 'Zero bonus' became evident...he looked and said, "what the hell is that?!?!"

[alaviner]

Wow I had to spend a few days in the hospital (since Saturday) with my wife (she has kidney stones) and all hell breaks loose.  We have a new thread, Mynok is banned,  and I still have about 15 more pages of the new thread to catchup on.  I will have to do that tomorrow. I bed time now.  Hospital sleeper chairs don't sleep very well.
