Would also be very nice if the other bitchen' CA were sunk from her wounds with Repulse...but my heart has been broken so many times by Miss Fog'o'war that I am untrusting (someone check to see if this is really a word).

And you boys, what will you have?

Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt, #1: Prease to have-ah watah.

FAM: Water? Let me get you something? You aren't going to believe how cheap the drinks are here...but don't tell the management. Barkeep, bourbon for my friends. You boys like bourbon, don't you?

Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt, #1: Hai! That-ah word be dericious.

FAM: Splendid! Where are you boys from?

Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt, #2: AN-juh-res!

Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt, #1: <elbows other fellow> ROS ANGERES!

FAM: "Ros Angeres"...oh, you mean LA. Lived there for 3 years in a crappy apartment with
paper walls. One neighbor was a screamer. She would moan louder and louder for 15 minutes every Saturday, Wednesday and Friday night.
Some sort of exercise, I imagine. The other neighbor was from Alberta and insisted on warming up her
car in morning at 3000 revs for 20 minutes even when it was 70 degrees out.

Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt, #1: Hai! paper warhs.

FAM: <suddenly grabs temples in anguish>....Uhhh..I've just felt a great disturbance in the force.
