Of course, we don't know what the garrison is.

He has stalled it twice. I think it's n 3rd gear. I don't think you get much turbo boost at 800 RPM's. And the downforce at 3 1/2 MPH is not very strong.

So I go to the bank and it is actually open..so I go in. The are two open tellers, an earnest Hispanic young man and a really cute Hispanic young woman who looks like Shakira.


Need I say more? It's perfect, they are trained to be polite so you can flirt with relative impunity. She laughs at my jokes..I laugh at hers..it was fun and harmless..then I go to sign the check and she turns bright red.
Damndest thing. Poor thing, probably overwhelmed by the GQ looks, the urbanity and the account balance. We conclude the transaction and I thank her and wish her a good day...better get out before she faints.

Then, as I am walking away, I go to put the pen back in my pocket. It's a hideous triangular drug company advertising pens with big block letters on one side saying:





BV BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS




Reminds me of the time I was proudly wearing the nifty new golf shirt, donated by Manitoba Telecomm Systems, I won in a work tournament (in which virtually everyone won something).
I was at a conference in Quebec City and after hours was out with the local manager for dinner and pub visits. I kept getting strange looks and
smirks from the many sexy young ladies in the area. I asked my host what was going on, and he explained with a little grin that the logo MTS on my shirt stands for something in French:

How about Takamatsu to Kobe? Is that walkable. The Fx keys don't work in AE for me (I think I am not in full screen mode)

Use the "R" button to see road and rail links. Takamatsu - Kobe has no link. Only Jesus gets to walk it, and I think he has better
things to do.
Takamatsu - Okayama or Fukuyama is walkable, or strat move if your units have vehicles and own both ends of the link.

There is a rail link from Fukuoka to Shimonoseki, but it is not direct. You have to go through the hex southeast of Fukuoka. Because
it is only a rail bridge link, crossing is very slow - something like two or four miles a day progress. I'm pretty sure it would be a
shock attack on arrival at the other end of the bridge.

I wonder if we put our 3 extant para Bn in one drop if they could take it?

Then, the heavy stuff lands the next turn with no disablement?

LCdr, Jensen, CO Mock you? About what?

Torpedoman 1st Class Parker: I'd...rather not say sir.

LCdr, Jensen, CO Well, you'll need a better explanation than that for me to give up an experienced hand. <he studies the sailor who looks at the deck> Parker, what is your first name?

It must have been a monumental row getting them to figure out how to put their clothes into the washer, apply the proper amount of detergent and / or fabric softener, close the door, select the proper cycle and press the start button. I imagine that discussion was something similar.

You probably want to keep them away from the bleach for the time being. Not only for the safety of their garments ("oh, I thought you added the whole bottle for every load.") and their dermis ("Dad, why does my skin burn after spilling bleach on it?") but for what parts of their external anatomy they may wish to surreptitiously bleach.

Splurge and buy separate lines for SGI and SGII since cooperation does not appear to be their modus operandi. The savings in pool table wear and tear alone will justify the cost of the additional clothes line.

Seriously, one of the reasons I married her was she was independent. Now sometimes I feel like a bug in a bottle

Crap, when I was 17 my dad would give me 20 dollars and tell me "Go down to the hardware store and get a new thermostat for the water heater and put in in"

I turned off the gas, took out the old part, asked the old guy at the hardware store how to do it and read the little plaque on the water heater on how to relight the pilot light....et voila!

Is it just that the expectations are different or is this the result of too much video games and not enough real world? (These are stepkids you understand)

It is because you are male and they are female.

Have no fear - there'll be a woman along any minute to tell you how stupid you are!
