What is the title of a story in which an evil wizard turns a harmless furry long-eared critter into a fearsome lizard?
Hare today, Gorn tomorrow!
Wait a minute ... is that an ethnic joke???


I'm not sure, let me ask my harmless furry long-eared critter. His name is Felix Proboscis, I converse with him often. He says it's not ethnic so long as you don't split hares.

Afraid not - but you can send Lt. Chekov to any big USN base to get uranium from the "nuclear wessels".

Status: offline 		As some of you may know, the last time I had to build one of these I was interrupted. I managed to finish it later however. I made it from a '67 Corvair. Suprisingly few modifications were required. If any of you has one of these old Corvairs and will sell it to me, I will be grateful.

Status: online 		OK - I'll bite. I know what a Corvair is/was, since I started driving in 1967 and knew I had to watch for those exploding hazards.
But ... I have no idea what the picture is about or how it connects with Corvairs and dilithium crystals.

I am quite content to let the Ferengi continue to hold us over a barrel about access to AMC Gremlins. I will just outwait them until I die and they can try to sell one to my mortitian to use as my coffin... wait a sec ... since I requested cremation, they better try sell him a Corvair.

I'm not sure it's from the same scene, but at one point Kurt Russell enters the place where they've been keeping Blair (Wilford Brimley) and finds the spaceship that Blair's been building (Blair is one of the Things at this point). The ship reminded me of a Corvair somehow.

Status: offline 		9/23/42 A brief update. Pretty much nothing has happened in the Coral sea area for a while, that's my fault since I hold the initiative. I have been bombing the heck out of Efate and Luganville with B-17s however. They appear to be invulnerable to Japanese fighters, none have been shot down yet, and they go in without escorts. In China, Raiden is pressing pretty hard at several points along the Chines perimeter around Chunking. He is also besieging Sinning. In Burma, he continues to press but is finding resistance everywhere. Two days ago, my search plane reported a TF containing two CVs in the Bay of Bengal, but it disappeared as quickly as it showed up. Overall, my air ASW assets seem to be doing great damage to him, while he seems not to have any air ASW assets. FOW though. My subs are not receiving any damage though.

Status: offline 		We've been having a fairly brutal air battle over norther Burma, he's really throwing in the kitchen sink there. It was too much for me so I drew my fighters back in. It won't matter alot because his bombing raids in the jungle usually have no effect. You can see below that I lost my top ace in this battle.

Lookie here, I've got 5 Chinese aces! About the only good thing happening there, I'm afraid.

He mostly has Oscars in China. Those things are crap. I expect he'll stop making them if he hasn't already.

I wonder if Chan R. is one of Charlie's sons.

Status: offline 		11/26/42 Like Efate, Luganville fell on the first attempt to the Marines. The Japanese survivors were subsequently surrounded and eliminated on the same hex. During the landings there, we watched (I'm presuming he saw the same thing) Nevada take a torpedo hit. I checked the next day and Nevada had no damage but an AP did have serious damage. FOW I suppose. The Marines were opposing about 6,000 troops and consisted of two Marine regiments, a USMC tank regiment, an Army FA regiment, an Army combat engineer battalion and some amphibious engineers. Casualties in this operation were very light.
