Status: offline 		I was pretty much already going to give up on Rossel after I saw all the fighters and 2/3 of the bombers skip out of Noumea and, presumably, move to Rabaul and Lunga.

Then I had a dream last night (and I almost never remember my dreams, maybe once a year and this is two dreams in a couple of days) where I bought a Beretta handgun, all black. It was a thing of beauty. Then, when I woke up in the morning (in the dream) it was all disassembled and there were all these tiny O-rings lying about among the metal parts. So I am frantically trying to put the thing back together and there is no way to make all the O-rings fit. As far as I know there are no O-rings in a Berreta hand gun, but I did not need no steenkeeng Jungian or Freudian analysis.

New weapon acquired (4 USN carrier taffys)

The thing is FUBAR (the operation goes FUBAR)

O-ring failures (does that remind you of anything?)

@ sprior: this O-ring of which you speak...is it common issue amongst RN sailors on shore leave in Singapore for example?

Ugh. That's SO much like a clinical psychologist. Ascribing whatever successes or good decisions in the future to psychoanalysis of today.

I'm reminded of a bit from an ex-animated series called "The Critic" from a few years back. Rainier Wolfcastle (a thinly veiled knockoff of A. Schwarzenneger) was being interviewed and shown in a clip from his latest movie. As was to be expected, it was over the top violent, with gratuitous sex and poor punmanship.

When the clip was over, the interviewer sat for a moment, stunned by the gratuitous drivel he had just seen. Finally, he asked Rainier Wolfcastle-incredulously-"How do you sleep at night?"

I imagine, Moondawggie, that you can relate to Rainier Wolfcastle's response: "On top of a mountain of money, surrounded by beautiful women."

i didn't realize he had hopped over from the Simpsons... although some of "The Critic" characters have showed up on the Simpsons on occasion.

Recon shows no fighters so I tasked the LB-30's now at Charters Towers and some B-24's moved to Townsville to hit the field. The B-17's at Townsville and 2 squadrosn of B-25's at Cairns will hit PM again.

Heavy bombers raided Noumea, encounterd only one fighter on cap and did quite a bit of damage to transports, support vessels adn one sub at Noumea.

The first ground assault will go in at Nadi today.

I'm pleased they've replaced their previous C.O. Major Hugh G. Rekshon. The troops always found the prospect of saluting him rather uncomfortable.

A good thing they dont use foreign officers from the ends of the empire. Like Lt. Col. Minisa Biggerwahn Thanyougoth

****************South Seas Detachment HQ, Truk, August 13, 1942*******************


Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: General, sir, I am concerned about about possibirity Arries rand on isrands where we have no garrisons.

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Hai, I agree General. What you propose?

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: I propose we ret contract to M&M Enterprises for "Rent a Garrison"

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Did you say "Rent a Garrison"

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: Hai. It good operation. We use them to drop supplies on Tanna.

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: I approve. How much cost?

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: We make trade, sir. Very frexible.

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Sprendid! Perhaps M&M Enterprises can procure some Engrish womans with big breasts too. Report to me as soon ready.

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: HAI! <salutes and turns to exit>

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Oh, General, there is one other thing.

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: Hai!

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Well, I was wondering why we are talking like this?

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: Rike what sir?

Gen. Tomitaro Horni, CIC, South Seas Detachment: Well, in Pidgin English with no articles and mispronounced "L" sound.

Gen. Haruyoshi Hyakutie, Commanding, Solomons, New Britain, New Guinea: Oh, beats me sir. I thought you wanted to. You know, continuity with the narrative, perpetuation of puerile ethinc and racial stereotypes, that kind of thing.

** Suffered a stroke in 1945 after ingesting 18 Sake-bombs in 3 hrs while cavorting with two scantilly clad women in a bar run by a midget chieftan from Flores.

I started work on my most ambitious work of fiction yet, my 2010 tax return. I hate to sound harsh but Stalker Girl is completely clueless about taxes. At least she is organized which helps with my complete absence of such. Over $11,000 in "Alternative Maximum Tax" alone. Given the opportunity, I could be homicidal. Fortuantely, no member of Congress lives in the neighborhood. I am trying to self-medicate with Juniper berry nectar.

As this is a skinny, fur-bearing predator similar to a weasel, I assume this is somehow propitious.

Smitten by a 'tube rat', I see? Keep it away from flip flops and other foam-based filler material. Intestinal obstructions are pretty common. You'd think there'd be enough grease on the inside to led things slip along nicely, but alas-they're mostly just greasy on the outside.
