Oh, and after last night's Dirty Jobs episode, I can honestly claim that I would no be able to identify a binturong at least 3 times out of 10.

Ah, but can you be sure which of those had pulmonary microlithiasis?

ETA: The previous message has been brought to you by the veterinary pathology humor series. Although I don't have tenure, I'll be here all week.

I actually Googled that and I still dont get it.

Lesson learned: Move mode + getting caught by enemy armor = much pain.

The AI just trashed 2 brigades and re-trashed 2 more.

By the way, my wife and I went and saw the new Bruce Willis film RED over the weekend. It was fun. It didn't take itself too seriously. I recommend it.

I'm curious, Yuri, and will try to ask this discreetly as this is an open forum. Having had a good deal of interaction in my consulting years with Hasidim, many of Russian origin, I found them a fascinating people. They did not seem to have your affinity for things Russian however. Never heard it used. Which was fortunate as I have zero Russian...Yiddish was easier since it had many German words which I could get, along with the Hebrew and colloquialisms which I could not.

PM me if you prefer. Or not. Just a curious Celt here with a love of languages.

One for the night to gander upon.

Assignment Intercept (January 1976 in US and 1978 in UK) by Marilyn Granbeck

Foolproof American missiles are going off course and accidentally hitting Russian ships. Russian rockets were hitting American targets. Somewhere in the deep Yucatan jungle in a forgotten Mayan temple,, a Red Chinese scientist was using a lethal device for sidetracking missiles.

I think we should track down and kill all the scum that are currently spamming this forum. All of them need to be killed.

Again with something I said?

No, all the spambots that are posting links trying to sell stuff.

I never see them... it must be that spambots post during the night (BTW I almost never go to "General" forum)...

Hmm.....not sure how to answer that. Well, most of my contemporaries, the ones that left around the time we did, dont speak Russian, or do so rather poorly. My parents, however, were very insistent that I must not forget Russian. That, coupled with my love for history, gave me the impetus to keep reading and speaking it.

Soul not religious, you silly American. Soul is part of Russian that no one else have, that allows Russian to live through difficulties and tragedy where other nation would break and still make joke about it. It why Tolstoy idolized common man, because his outlook on world was simple, while the pampered aristocracy made big deal out of every stupid thing. You understand now?

I got an email from the attorney of a deceased long lost relative (a contractor and businessman, apparently), offering me "usd$13.58O, OOO, 00" of inheritance. I wonder how much that is.

$13.58 - before taxes

Hi guys.� It's pretty serious around here.� Dixie, I know where you're coming from....

Question for you AFBs:� Do you get H81-A3 replacements in Scenario 1?

Mike, there are a handful in the pool at start, but no more produced.

That's great news, Mike!

I think there's a total of around 75 airframes, IIRC, Mike. You may also be heartened by the fact that the AVG historically withdraws on July 5, 1942. Only have to put up with the pests for a few months.

Man, you made my day! That's even better news. I counted them up last night. 97 airframes total. Don't know how many I killed so far. I did get 12 on the ground when I overran a airfield early on.

What's better, an H81-A3 or a P040E?

Actually it converts. To USAAF. And gets real airplanes. Lots of them.
