IIRC it comes from "The Importance of Being Ernest" a severely edited play I was part of in 9th grade at Lamar Junior HS in Austin, TX. Hopefully, cultural events in Austin have progressed there since I departed at the end of that academic year but at the time the play was probably the height of the cultural (low) bar.

Yes, it did really sound like Wilde. I think what he is talking about here is whether to read the manual or not (to).

In order to protest the firing of the Mayan and the fact that nobody does any work around here since SG broke her ankle, I instituted a boycott against me doing any household work to teach everyone a lesson. Well, the sanctions have really begun to bite, I tell you. They have begun to bite me. I don't have any cups for my coffee. I have been wearing athletic socks to work for 3 days. Friday I even broke down and wore my button fly Ralph Laurens to work. I was hoping to save them, expecting them to appreciate in value after he died, but I was desperate.

I am hoping one of those 750 ton Dutch AKL's will show up today with Lucky Strikes, socks and underwear.

Benkoelen and Padang are two possible choices for SW Sumatra landings. Both have existing small airstrips whihc are crucial to have quickly so the carriers dont have to be subjected to LBA for too long.

Two islands offshore are still green dots and are buildable to level 6 but with crappy ports

I wasn't really sure...it might be "pod" or "covey". Maybe it's in the manual.

Don't forget Siboroet island while you're planning for Padang. Padang's also got a dot hex just inland which is connected by rail (!) Three interlocking bases here sound promising for a foothold.

Yes, and Padang is within P-40K range from Palembang. Of course, we have zero intel on both Siberoet and Padang. The nearest ALlied base is, I think, Kaggala on Ceylon (35 hexes). That's too far even for the PB4Y.

I think the thing to do is plan for both CD guns and a brigade of LYB's and then recon with recon F4F's on the way in.

That means you bring naval bombardment BB's and at least 2 divisions (preferably 3) plus engineers.

I think "Cluster" is right because if we tried to land at Koepang of Flores it would be a "Cluster ****"

I started some AP's from Geraldton toward Sud Afrika last turn. There are some new Pongoes there. Maybe you can use them for your landing?

What do we have in India that is experienced (other than the prostitutes, I mean)?

Of course the Aussies are shiny, having been sandblasted in N. Africa for 2 years the customary dirt is long gone ...

Yes, I see them now 9th Aus Div. That is perfect, take the whole Aus I Corps and the 29th Brigade. That means you can't start prepping the 9th for 14 days, so the earliest landing is 64 days out, early March. That gives us 2 weeks to take Darwin and then 6th and 7th Div can start prepping for another landing. They could be perhaps lifted from Darwin, sail all the way around Oz the long way, rest and refit and Perth and then unite at sea with 9th coming from Ceylon or India.

You can take Repusle, PoW, and the two able-bodied USN pre-war BB's for bombardment duty. If the two fast BB's are back from repairs on the West Coast, then maybe Indiana and Washington can go along for AAA.
