It really does look like that. Look at the comments below the Youtube vid. Someone asks "Did he die?"

Saumlaki/ Kai-elanden: The Marine Raider Bn is ashore at Kai but does not attack because it is not an atoll. they will attack today. The Marine Regt and 2 SeaBee Bn's off shore will have to wait a turn so they dont suffer disablement penalty.

The off-loading at Saumlaki went well. The airfield there is about 1.7. It already has an air HQ and torps. Maybe TBF's can move in tormorrow. No JJ surface threat in sight.

I-33 fires 6 torps at Yorktown.

Sub attack near Saumlaki at 80,117

Japanese Ships
SS I-33, hits 3

Allied Ships
CV Yorktown
CL St. Louis
CLAA San Diego
DD Gillespie
DD Clark
DD Cummings
DD Meade



SS I-33 launches 6 torpedoes at CV Yorktown



but misses

No JJ air attacks at either island today. I think Rord Admirar Fabertong turned off the naval attacks with the Helens and Anns.

Darwin/Katherine: I think Br 18th Div and friends will be crossing the river North of Katherine tomorrow. The troops South of Darwin will probably have to wait another day before attackign again after the last repulse at 1:4. Darwin airfield repairing nicley.

Port Hedrand: This just in! Air raid PH! This is not a drill. Oh, wait, this is from a week ago..no it is 4 days ago...now..wait...it IS today..no wait....

Hory Crap! We got nothing but P-26 training squadrons and some airships. You guys are all jerks for not warning us.

The other day we were out somewhere when a couple of hundred yards off someone started some kind of gasoline powered power tool. My wife turned around and looked at me in surprise and concern. Then she realized the sound was coming from the other direction and said "Oh, thank goodness. I thought that was you!"

I'm thinking more along the lines of "Leaf-Blower Man" or "Power-Wash Man."

After all, he's got to clean up after Pinhead...

Hey, Cap, at least that's better than "Electric Hedge-Trimmer Man."

I was bone tired so I warned him I was going to snore. I did, but at least I wasn't potentially explosive. Sweet Jesus. They guy put out more methane than 100 sq mi of melting permafrost.

He got up twice at night, fumbling around to find his LED head lamp...twice to take a ****. That is some serious throu-put

Status: offline 		Here is a fun gag for philopshical Vegans should you have the occasion to have one over for dinner.

They will torture you with restrictions so just suck it up, go to the farmers' market and get fresh, free range veggies for a big salad, first press olive oil, organic lentils, yada, yada, yada.

Now, here is the fun part. Make your own croutons and just sautee them for 30 seconds in bacon fat. Make sure you explain all the trouble you went to (with feigned pride, not annoyance) and then sit back and watch.

It is quite amazing. There are two particular Neanderthal genes that will switch back on if the body has been deprived of meat for a long enough time. Within twenty mintues they will ask for more and will be licking the salad bowl.

Important safety tip. DO NOT do this if it is a pregnant vegan woman in the first trimester. The baby will have a huge brow ridge.

Allied Ships

Not sure what happened with the ground attack. You would think a Marine Raider Bn., even if half disrupted could capture a dot hex with no enemy. Gaak. Maybe i forgot to push the right button.

Hmmm another quite funny reaction would be to get very violently ill .. I am going to assume from the concentrated protien/fat ...since there is no difference between animal and veggies in term of building blocks .. but concentration and density of nutrition is quite different .. I do know my ex-boss "tossed his cookies" at a restaurant and later we found out the Broccoli soup was made from beef stock .. the progression from not feeling well to sweat on upper lip and upchuck was absoutely remarkable .. happened even before I got through with my salad ..one for the journals ..

The baby might have a huge brow ridge but at least the eyes will be in the front of the head

When properly suppried, this is a serious force, even if they do have some up-armored sorghum harvesters. Next stop Fenton. Technically, 205th FA Bn is probably a US Army unit, so that would be an Anglo-Austrlalian-American force.
