Good evening, Gentlemen. Ladies.


The barbarians are still upset that you are leaving them out again.

They are included. In my humble opinion that is. If they feel excluded it is by their choice.

You tell that to Peter Lorre after he spent 3 years chasing a statue that turned out to be plastic.

Yes, but he got the papers that were allowing people to leave Vichy French territory. They were signed by GENERAL DE GAULLE!

This is Maltese Falcon, not that other movie with Bogart, Lorre, and Sidney Greenstreet.
Admiral Darlan or some other Vichy flunky signed the transit letters, certainly not De Gaulle.

Not according to the movie!

Not just that, the GERMANS had those papers for themselves!

The film probably used De Gaulle's name because he was the only Frenchman the US public would recognize. It would be like asking the Continental army to honor a pass signed by Benedict Arnold.

Why wouldn't they honour such a pass? He was, after all, a highly ranked and trusted officer on their side.

Until he changed sides, just like Charles de Gaulle.

Charles de Gaulle, if my memory serves, was never an officer in the Vichy Army. So I claim that there was, and is, a difference.



Cut from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle#Appeal_from_London

After the armistice was signed on 21 June 1940, de Gaulle spoke at 20:00 on 22 June to denounce it.[96] The Bordeaux government declared him compulsorily retired from the French Army (with the rank of colonel) on 23 June 1940.

Yes, Benedict Arnold did not get the respect that he thought that he deserve. So he tried to sell put West Point out to the British. Greoge Washington was on his way there that day as well.

You didn't read enough: 'The Vichy regime had already sentenced de Gaulle to four years' imprisonment; on 2 August 1940 he was condemned to death by court martial in absentia...' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle

We have a CB sighting! Good to know he's still involved with animals.




We have another CB sighting...he's into platform diving.




CB has been found! He seems to be having trouble with the AI.




Uh-oh!
CB wore a red shirt on an Away Team.




CB went surfing in an exotic local!




Here CB tests some Personal Protective Equipment from a Mr. Ned Kelly of Australia. Let's hope it works better for CB than the late Mr. Kelly.






Watch out for that cliff, CB!






CB is in good spirits after his fall.








CB went to see The Doctor! He came away with a pretty companion o help him convalesce.






Oh no! They've killed CB!






CB is in the Tour de France!
He crashed Undaunted, CB exclaimed,"Next time I'll do it without training wheels".






Here CB does his impression of a kamikaze hitting an armored flight deck.






Alas! CB is still AWOL.




Welcome back, CB! This is a red letter day, with both you and Mike Solli returning!

I feel obligated to repost the 'Where in the World is CB?' thread. Enjoy
