Last night I had a dream that I got invited over for dinner to the home of a professional assassin. This guy was a cool cucumber who could eliminate 3 or 4 people with his bare hands and them calmly leave the scene without any sign of concern. For some reason, he had young kids, which seemed a rather odd choice for an assassin...but anyway...the kids were hungry so I agreed to help heat up some leftovers. For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to heat up the leftovers IN a plastic container inside the toaster oven. It did not end well.

So here is the question. What does this mean and does it have any implications for WWIIc?

It means you should resume the standard cocktail ration. and ignore the dreams?

You should keep better tabs on your AAR and spice it up with mixed drink recipes when necessary to protect your necessary P.1 station, man!

Yes...quite pitiful, I admit. We had some sloooow turns because the four stooges upgraded to the latest patch and Admiral Lord Sprior got himself abducted by Norse raiders. Nothing serious, they should tire of him soon, but I had to look at the part of the map above the China Sea. Changsa is getting pulverized by air. We have a lot of LYCB's there but it will end badly at some point. I got the last RAF squadron (down to 1 Hurricane) out of there.

Burma: That LYB division out in the jungle near the Indian border is getting plastered by Allied air. Even worse for them, the little burg on the other side of the border is now crawling with Pongoes and Sikhs and Hindus and Muslims and even a Bn. of Zoroastrians. I imagine Admirar Rord Fabertong has sacked the idiot who concocted the plan.


Oz: The small CVL or CVE force is still NW of PH. They are within range of Carnavon which is now level four with good ground support and the best B-25 and B-26 jockeys we have...not to mention about 30 P-38F/G. There is no air HQ yet. If they get their act together and launch it might pay off. The bigger Jap CV force must be in the Indian Ocean somewhere outside the search range of our LB-30's. The CB's sent to Exmouth are unloading at Carnavon instead....D'oh! All the cripples from the 14th Naval Battle of Port Hedland made it back to Geraldton. JJ keeps putting aircraft back at PH and Broome. It's USAAF VII Bomber Command Whack-a-mole.

About 8 days till Yorktown if fully repaired. Illustrious and Wasp are ready. South Dakota and North Carolina will miss the next fight. We have Repulse and 4 pre-war US BB's plus a 24 kt RN BB whose name I cannot recall at this time. PoW Will leave Pearl tomorrow. JJ is reinforcing South of Darwin. They evidently fear an overland attack by UK 18th.

Merauke: 5th Marine Regt. nearly all ashore except for some pack howitzers. An air HQ and two CB's units are landing now. I think they suffered very heavy losses/damage in cruisers and BB's in the fight for PH and don't have much left to do anything about the thorn in the side.

SouPac: A Marine Regt left Auckland today with cover by Copahee, Long Island and Washington. Embarkation of the Fiji forces for the attack on Tanna will start tomorrow. A second B-17 squadron will move to Suva from Oz to support the attack.

Those are two planes that some 20 exp level pilots can fly and crack up without losing very much ..and they will eventually become lvl 50 pilots ..

Reminiscent of Homer Simpson's self-designed automobile. Does the B-10B/Y have an air horn that does "La cucaracha" too?

India: JJ are sweeping with Oscars over Calcutta almost every day and will generally down 1-2 Hurris. I think the only solution is to turn off the CAP for a few days and try to hit their base.

China: Big Jap attack at Tayun is repulsed. Changsha is getting pulverized by air and there isn't much we can do about it. 30 fighters sweep offensively every day.

Oz: Nobody got killed on our side today. JJ has Nicks at Broome again, some of which were killed by B-24's flying from Alice. most of the B-17's at Meekathara did not fly today. The mediums hit the airfield and groudn troops at PH. Oi is loitering near PH...not sure what a has been destroyer leader is going to do. Of interest is Jap surface combatants were seen leaving Guadalcanal headed North. Maybe they are reinforcing the DEI/Oz theater.

Status: offline 		I went to one of Stalker Girl's co-worker daughter's 18 year old "debutante" party. I know what you are thinking, "debutante party for an 18 year old"???? Not to put to fine a point on it, but this seems a case of OPENING the barn door after the cow has left the barn.

As you can imagine it was a very wholesome event. They weren't even serving alkeyhol (at least not on purpose). The host was Fillipino so there were about 150 Fillipino* guests, me, Stalker Girl and one Kaiser nurse from New York who came to the party half-drunk and then proceded to help herself to the host's Ketel One inside the house. The food was darn good. There was Karaoke in Tagolog. I learned why you never see any ducks (or leftover parts) in the PI. They eat EVERYTHING.

I was able to impress several guests with my knowledge of Luzon and Mindanao geography. After about 2 hrs. Stalker Girl and I snuck out to go get a brewski. We were both over-dosed on wholesomeness.


* Not sure if there are two "l's" or two "p's" in "Fillipino" and am too lazy to look it up.

Did they have any balut for you? Would you have known if you tried? Anything stew-like that was crunchy, chewy, cartilagenous, yolk-like creamyness and somewhat meaty-tasting? That's a good way for a Filipino to introduce this fine delicacy to outsiders-putting it in a stew.

Mmmm...partially calcified duck embryos...(drools...)
