Good with an Elko boat as well.


Not likely, but maybe his father frequented breastaurants at Karenko and dined on sushi with a young man in fine linen slacks during the war. Did the Polish navy operate Elko boats during the Warsaw Pact era? They had to somehow defend the Baltic coastline they got for relocating westward and northward in 1945.

JJ wisely evacuated Iba before wee could attack and pulled back to Clark. They evidentry mean to hold at Clark and Manira, which is sound. Looks like a long bombing campaign.

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, Guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!




Ohhhhhhhh. I get it. It's the effigy that is being burned. Quite a way to achieve immortality. The real Guy Fawkes, knowing he was likely to be slow-hung, drawn and quartered, instead jumped off the gallows platform and did a perfect swan dive, neatly breaking his neck. Quite possibly the first Guy Fawkes mask was posted on a pike on London Bridge.

I was looking for a doctor directory for LA Children's Hospital to show the seriously cute physician "liason" babe from the hospital and the damn thing (Spanish version of Fifty Shades) fell out on the floor. There was an awkward few seconds of silence then she turned really red. I'm not sure if she had flashbacks or she was empatheticlly embarrased for me.

It is very inefficient but it is working. We are just now (last two weeks) getting fuel to Luzon. Before this we have been living on fuel in the bunkers of ported transports.

Status: offline 		There is also this. The tour guide in the crazy Beefeater costume at the Tower of London pointed to the hill where Guy Fawkes "was hung". I believed it. It's not true. I want my pounds stirling back.


Even so, it is a very cool tour. The oldest building around here is the San Juan Capistrano Mission. I don't think they even have tours but if they did it would go something like this: "This is where Father Serra directed the Juaneno indians, working as virtual slaves in the name of the Saviour, to make the highest quality adobe bricks out of donkey dung and clay. And if you come with me you will see the archeological site of one of the first organized latrines in Alta California. Last month alone, archeologists recovered a brass button, a portion of a clay pipe and ELEVEN coproliths!.............."

What if they didn't have enough fiber in their diets (because of the evil European influence, I mean)?

Would those qualify as coproliths? Right out of the shoot, I mean?

Status: offline 		I think this is what Mr. FOW means when he says "paleofaeces". It's from Latin. "Paleo=old", "Faeces=faces"

Here is a really old one. I haven't worked out why she would be in a Mission San Juan Captistrano latrine but I can't figure out half the things the Engrish are talking about, even on a good day.

Don't tell anyone but these are "special" golf course. The money is made by NOT building them. Oh sure, there are some drawings and maybe a model or two showing the beautiful 15th hole fronting the Gulf of Leyte or the Aru Sea but you don't actually need a contractor or even an architect. You just need a couple of aliases, some lawyers and a chaotic transnational conflict where everyone longs for tranquility and some way to launder some of the Firripino gord they stole.
