Land Shrimp!






We had something like that in North Carolina - we called them "camel crickets" - and they did look like shrimp... they also BIT - but not venomous...

Camel crickets are ugly things. Never been bit though.

Now crawdads are another story.

Maybe you should be very, very quiet now...


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...



The danes were one of the few to actively help prevent the slaughter of their citizens of the Jewish faith. (No I am not Jewish). That took courage. I have never heard that your country just laid down and took it T. There is only so much one can do against something so much larger than you. Everything I have read and seen said you were a real thorn in Hitler's side. Your country has my respect.

Status: offline 		To lay mines in one of your ports, use a minelayer based at another port; it can never be based in the same port, and must have Retirement set to On in order to lay mines. It is an extremely clumsy procedure, but that's how it is...

employees".   The cannibals promised they would not.

ROFLMAO!!

  • Tech Support: "Thank you for calling. May I have your phone number beginning with area code first, please?"
There was a pregnant pause, then a series of touch tones.
  • Tech Support: "Hello? I need your phone number, please."
More touch tones.
  • Tech Support: "Hi, can you hear me?"
  • Customer: "Yes."
  • Tech Support: "Great, then can you please tell me your phone number so I can pull up your file?"
More touch tones.
  • Tech Support: "Sir, what's your name?"
  • Customer: [name]
  • Tech Support: "Great, now can you tell me your phone number?"
Touch tones again.
  • Tech Support: "Please, tell me your phone number."
  • Customer: "Again?"
  • Tech Support: "Yes sir, if you don't mind, but can you please just tell me verbally?"
Touch tones yet again.
  • Tech Support: "Sir, contrary to popular opinion, support is not half machine. I'll need you to verbally tell me your phone number with your mouth so I can bring up your account info, got it?"
  • Customer: "You people are rude as well as incompetent."
Click.

As for a pic vs Faber. Anything that shows me hammering something would be good........this is good for starters. Man = random (Prince William) man taking the guise of me. Hammer = my Allied forces. Log = anything related to penguins or Faber's forces
