Palau: Carrier raid was a dud. I think Yorktown sailed into Typhoon Haiyan. Not even recon flight. Also, a raid from Sorong over Palau did not fly.


Okinawa: JJ sends 4 DD's to Naha during daylight hours, sinking a PT boat but we fool them, we no show up. The three DD's we had there last turn returned to Miyako.
Curiosuly, none of the SBD's or TBF's at Miyako can be bothered to attack. Raids over Nago are grounded by bad weather.

Some Anns from ? Amamai Oshima attack our retreating PT boats.

Daito Shoto gets absolutely pulverized for a second day.


Port Blair: Colonel Frost lives!

For now I leave you with this:

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' ... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started…
________________________________
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started.....
_____________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started...
________________________________
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
_____________________________
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started...
________________________________
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started...
_______________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...…
______________________________
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started...
________________________________
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." And then the fight started........
________________________________
I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started.
________________________________
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started.

It could have been worse. At one place I was shopping a female cashier had a Chemo therapy bald head and was talking to a customer. I am not sure what the rest of conversation was but the customer as she walked off said, " As long as you have your health".

Here's hoping something cheers up your Cashier.

Merry Christmas to all. I got my relatives tickets to Trans Siberian Orchestra. http://www.trans-siberian.com

I made that mistake of taking all the relatives to see T.S.O. - my M-I-L complained it was too loud and hurt her ears (???) F-I-L leans over and says to her, why didn't you take your hearing aids out?

The resulting fight was a 2 hour spectacle involving 3 generations of the family. I had to promise to never do anything like that again!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

He gets back from a cruise, sends a letter to his family and then they send him out again on another boat. Uggh.

All of the first wave for Okinawa is fully embarked. Off we go! 98K troops with more to come.

Yorktown is likely spotted at her current position 200mi WNW of Palau. I couldn't be sure from the combat replay but it is likely that JJ will port their ships or scatter them.
Or perhaps bring in fighters or set up bombers at Beazelbob. Better to send Yorktown up towards her station near Batan Is.

Naha airfield is already starting to repair. We will have to switch the B-24's there tomorrow.

About 1200 LYB's on Kume-jima. Nobody on Okinerabushima. We can do an air drop on Okinerabushima and the regiment for Kume-jima should be enough.

Damned impressive $1200 Santa suit, 340 real life pounds, big white beard, authentic red cheeks, maybe even too red...if you know what I mean. Smelled like a Dominican too...the cigar, not the baseball player.

So we send in the little kids...and then all the cute girl cousins (like 12 of 'em 17 to 28)....I think Santa liked that part.

Then I suggest to my sister that she sit on Santa's lap for a picture.

Sister1: I know who Santa is. I'm not sitting on Santa's lap.

Well, here in balmy Milwaukee, I have about 17 inches of the white %#$^@ on the ground, it's been on average 5 degrees coolder than the normal this month - looking at a high of 5 - 8 degress C over the New Year and my dog (a she) has to pee standing up, lest she gets stuck frozen to the ground. Somehow I doubt there is either global cooling or warming going on, its just what the planet does and as George Carlin once famously said - "It can shake us off like a bad case of fleas anytime it wants."

Looking forward to another year of enjoying this mockumentary you have going. Keep up the good work. Cheers and Happy New Year!

I'm not sure whether to be more alarmed by the proliferation of huge ships or the fact that there was a U-Boat operating in the North Atlantic as recently as last April. Hopefully Oprah/Dr Phil will be covering these scourges soon (with A. Cooper following up with a sound boot-licking during ratings week).

Not sure where these Tojos over Naha are coming from. Probably Naha field itself. It's just relentless trying to keep everything suppressed.

Afternoon Air attack on Naha , at 95,66

Weather in hex: Heavy rain

Raid detected at 27 NM, estimated altitude 33,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 10 minutes

Raids over Nago and Daito Shoto go in today but are only moderately effective.
