Next thing you'll be wanting is special services for Ensign O'Boyle here. This is His Majesty's ship. It will stay that way.

The Lord Admiral's reaction will when he discovers what Mandrake has done with the British fleet will be comparable to this. I'm sure Mandrake will cheer him up though! He'll just tell Churchill it was stolen and the Allies will buy him a new fleet.

The funniest thing about that is not the names, which are funny as Hell and over the top politically incorrect...it's the fact that a couple of frat boys got together, put the names on the teleprompter at obvious risk to their careers...and then got the earnest, but completely clueless, news reader to read them on air while carefully trying to pronounce the "names" with imagined ethnic and lingusitic purity. [:D][:D] You just know she prepared ahead of time because she chose the long "u" sound for "Fuk" [:D] The way she pronunced "Bang Ding OW" is like the Russian roulette scene out of "Deer Hunter" [:D] Thank you, More Gore for inventing the internet.

There are some worth getting fired for. [8D]

Just imagine the conversation. Two or three former frat boys sitting around before the broadcast using fake Asian accents making up fake Asian names for the pilots and laughing themselves silly. Most of them sound more Chinese than Korean but it doesn't even matter... "Holy F***, some ting wong, we too low" <laughter> "Wait, Ho Lee Fuk is the pilot's name" <laughter> "And We Tu Lo is the co-pilot" <laughter> .....some minutes later, everyone is fatigued from laughing so hard.... "Wait, I just thought of an idea...." [:D]
