All the better for when you start to play "Capture the Flag".

I refer you to the historical documents, if I'm not mistaken Gilligan didn't find any of them on his island. If I'm incorrect, it is only because I was paying too much attention to Mary Ann.

Hey! I saw Maryanne first! Besides, don't the Japanese like to have Ginger with every meal?

go check out the edit I did on post #98

Raiden did abort. Apparently he cannot match my brilliant and sparkling intellect. Or BBfanboy's either. You know, unlike Mr. Romney, we must make allowances for those little people below us.

Oh, I can understand why they worship you - just look at how well you are feeding them!
And from the expression on Lt. McHale's face, you are giving them enough beverage as well!

2/12/42  Bataan falls.  Did they leave MacArthur behind?



Sorry this isn't timely, but it is necessary. Is that like a cake falling? Don't make me do my Richard Harris immitation. Blast it, I'm going to do it anyway.

... it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again. Oh, nooooo! ...

Oh, I forgot you can't hear me. Consider yourselves fortunate, very, very fortunate. Hmmm, wasn't that song called, oh I can't remember, something Park, I believe.


Raiden has been doing some house painting at a friends home, I believe. This is why he hasn't joined us in this very serious discussion for a few days, I think. He's still been doing his turns faster than myself. I've been obsessing over pilot training, but that seems to me to be the key to winning this war quickly, or for an Imperial player, losing as slowly and painfully as possible.

If you're bored waiting for turns, go and see Skyfall, the new Bond movie. He goes to a Casino in Macau which has Komodo Dragons in a pit. Of course Bond ends up in that pit. I won't spoil the movie by saying what happens next.

Yes, I know, there's really nothing to speculate about if I were in that pit. Picture Luke Skywalker in Jabba's pit with whatever that was .... Wait who won that thing again

That actor with the red hair was in a thousand things, but I can't remember his name. What was the name of this absurd movie? I know I saw it but I donated so many of my brain cells to science so far, I can't remember. What was that I just said? What is science? I can't remember. I just remember someone in a white coat telling me he just wanted to pickle a wee bit of tissue.

That critter would be a Rancor, but since it wasn't Terranian, it wasn't officially a reptile so you don't need to be upset that it had an accident. Serves it right for leaving so much bone litter lying around - a tidier Rancor would have been a live Rancor.

Status: offline 		4/21/42 The KB is currently off Cooktown and an invasion force is entering the Coral Sea south of Milne Bay, along with a BB bombardment force. I'm thinking they're not headed for Port Moresby this time, but to Cooktown or Cairns, or possibly Townsville. I'm pretty sure he won't come across the mountains to attack PM because those troops will have malaria. I'm sure a landing at PM is not too far away.

There are some Japanese tourists wishing to disembark at PM, and we are doing everything possible to accomodate them.

Unfortunately, as this base is still under Aussie rule, baseball is prohibited and the Nipponese will have to leave their balls on the ship.
