Speedy, i'm going to have to give you a symbol so we can have "equal opportunity" cartoons...

hmmm - this one is the only one that springs to mind...




i dunno - somehow a Britisher with a Mexican accent doesn't seem to fit...


In grad school, I had an advisor who was Chinese with an Australian accent. Very strange....

Choose Japanese cat song

Cute but bizzare with the sound track. Almost as odd as Soft Tank

Check out Denmark. 14 kills for the Nazis but only 10 for the RAF. Maybe Terminus should change his sig picture to "Kick ass colaborators" fanboy

I'm outta here in an hour so I'll have time before the wife is home to download them. The Gothic females were a bit thin on the ground, but they typically were wider than tall. Needless to say, I didn't take a lot of pics of them. I did get some unusual pics though.

I saw Decision Games' War in the Pacific. It's coming out next month and will weigh 13 pounds. That's over $26 per pound. Anyway, it looks really nice. The tactical island maps are particularly nice. Can't wait.

I'll post the pics tomorrow. Can't do it tonight. I have a turn waiting for me.

i think you must not remember exactly how bizarre Soft Tank is...

http://anime.livedoor.com/theater/2.html

No. 6 just out - soft tanks go to Samoa but end up in Iraq (???)

Nos. 5 and 6 appear to have cameo appearances by Dilbert (with Japanese makeup)...

We had plenty of Americans serve on the wrong side too and this was without the pressure of having been occupied. Not every citizen can be counted on to serve his country honorably.

I'm just so tired of people assuming we were Hitler's good little lap dog. I have no less than four members of my family/circle of friends who fought against the Nazis...

It takes a tough breed to resist when most of your own country is not willing to do so and may even sell you out. I think that the figure for France was that less than 2% were activly involved in the resistance.

Every country in Europe had volunteers serve in the RAF and ground forces. Takes a lot of guts to fight on after your country's government has thrown in the towel.

Having never been occupied most Americans can't relate.

I've not run into that opinion of Denmark's role in the war. I would suspect that most here in the States 1) don't know much about it (sadly) 2) pretty much toss you guys in the "resisted but were overwhelmed" group. It's unfortunate but also human nature.

Found this link pretty funny:

i liked this one:

"I own a computer store. One day, two policemen came into the store and told that they owned a 486 and a 286. They asked if a 486 and a 286 could be assembled together into a 686. I replied to the dumb request by asking them if two 200 horsepower police cars can be used to make up a 400 horsepower Ferrari. The policemen didn't get it and replied angrily that altering car engines is strictly forbidden by law."

Snakes, tornadoes, lightning..... all you need is locusts and you have covered most of the plauges.

Yeah, we get those sometimes, too!

There was a single huge grasshopper the other day that was eating leaves off a little lemon tree we had - he was munching down the leaf like it was corn on the cob!! My wife was afraid to tackle it, so managed to scoop it into a jar and stuck it in the freezer.

It was quite impressive later when i saw it - i dubbed it "Grasshopperus" after that bad 50's sci-fi movie with the giant grasshoppers...

My PBEM is now 8 Aug 42 and I've received a Tojo Sentai (exp in the 60s so it's not being deployed yet) and I've converted my first Oscar Sentai to Tonys. My opponent has this habit of sending about 100 Wellingtons with 50-100 Liberators to raid Rangoon regularly. I can't wait to see what they do to those bombers. Their exp is 78. Ohboyohboyohboy....
