Yeah, but Sydney would be better.
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

If I were stuck on an isrand with Mary Ann for 8 years I wouldn't be troubling her for a cigar.

He never would have said fetch-in. He would have said bring me a cigar with that slight northern accent that was just a little snobbish but not bore-ish[:D]

True, but if I were Thurston Howell III then there would have been no Viking Long Boat ceremony. Still, there would remain the matter of Lovey. Fortunately, there was the sad episode when Lovey was taken by the Oceanic White Tip in the Lagoon. That really shook up the interpersonal relationships on the isrand. Consider also the male competition. The Professor? Really? It took him a year before he stopped wearing Italian loafers with white socks and the guy was always building batteries out of coconuts. Absorutely crueress. Gilligan? Phhht. The guy was either short or long on chromosomal material and I'm not sure if he ever went through puberty. The Skipper? Errrm, not sure hwo to say this but the "little buddy" thing always creeped me out. Bunkbeds? Really?
I was not using the cigar in an allegorical sense. How many cigars could they have anyway? They would be down to hand-rolled coconut fronds in no time at all.
I would have asked Mary Ann for some of her famous pie.

RE: With the Wren Detachment
For non Americans, here is what Mary Ann looked like. She is cute in a freakishly large head sort of way but one must not be too discerning when one is marooned.
Waiting on turn from Rord Admirar Nerson.

I'm quite sure this guy was a rep for M&M and by the looks of him he had some kinda cigars.

RE: With the Wren Detachment
Might I say that Dawn Elberta Wells, the actress that played Mary Ann, has a penchant for the "wacky weed," which if rolled into a cigar and distributed by M&M enterprises for a reasonable profit... well I am thinking it would solve the violent inclinations of the LYB currently occupying PH ....[;)] The high sweeps of the IJ fighters will take on a whole new meaning!

M&M Enterprises has always striven to include representatives of the local indiginous peoples in all it's projects. Several projects are more than 100% owned by indiginous peoples. In our effort to integrate local peoples into the enterprise, we, as an organization, will sometimes adopt certain characteristics of the local populations for marketing purposes. This has been criticized as being offensively generalized by some. There was no intent to offend except where the client exclusively retains the right to offend as part of the marketing strategy.
M&M Enterprises neither encourages nor condones cannibalism nor the taking of human heads as trophies.

So Mary Ann was a pot head? Wow, just wow.
Its a confounding factor in the whole "MaryAnn vs Ginger Question." [8D]

RE: With the Wren Detachment
Admiral Lord Sprior is threatening to go "gob in". [:D] Not sure exactly what that means but it implies battle damage of some sort. [:)]32nd ID is wrecked. Br. 2nd and African Brig are still in fair shape. 95% of the bombers in the PTO are aimed at Port Headrand. We shall see. JJ will certainly attack again in the next few days.

Brigadier "Senescent" seems to be getting the most of his troops.
Also, the LYBs on the move to the SE of PH: Is that dot hex (connected by rail to PH-Corunna downs?) still held, or has it been abandoned? I assume that you're going to be bombing the ***** out of this unit, as it's likely in either move or strat movement?

Maybe this means that he's combing the division sick rolls looking for recovering tuberculosis survivors for the operation. Paging Mr. Shabby! Bring yer polecats for peace!
