In the "Idiotic Criminal" section today, two would-be rapists were beaten up by their intended victim. Said intended victim was a 14-year old girl. They grabbed her as she was riding her bicycle, and she proceeded to karate the crap out of them...

It's bright blue sky.....about 80 f........with a nice breeze coming off the sea.......if only I had time for a mohito.....

What's a mohito?

I just got back from our local Cuban restaurant (owned by Cubans). I think the word is spelled mojito.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....this penguin can't spell.....not one iota......not a sausage......can't spell woth anything.......not a speller me.....spell free.......spell-less......and your right , the word is Mojito.......I was just using the phonetics......

I only did it because we had just gotten back from the Cuban place and my son happened to order 1.

It was just a coincidence. Really

The fates are cruel.........any other day and my spell free pea brain would have lay undiscovered...........Oh well on to world domination and then I can determine the correct spelling for every word in the world......BWAHA.......(cough, cough)......AHAHHAHAHAHAHA.......look here comes my medication.

I know this is not the place to discuss WiTP but I had to share this tragedy:

Day 1

Day Air attack on Derby , at 24,85

G4M1 Betty x 38
Ki-21 Sally x 197
Ki-46-II Dinah x 5

Allied aircraft
F4F-4 Wildcat x 13
CW-21B Demon x 11
Brewster 339D x 13
Kittyhawk I x 21
P-39D Airacobra x 7

Japanese aircraft losses
G4M1 Betty: 20 destroyed
Ki-21 Sally: 101 destroyed

G3M Nell: 2 destroyed

Allied aircraft losses
F4F-4 Wildcat: 1 destroyed, 11 damaged
CW-21B Demon: 2 destroyed, 7 damaged
Brewster 339D: 13 damaged
Kittyhawk I: 1 destroyed, 20 damaged
P-39D Airacobra: 2 destroyed, 4 damaged
B-25C Mitchell: 1 destroyed
Beaufort V-IX: 6 destroyed
Hudson I: 3 destroyed
Beaufighter VIF: 1 destroyed
Martin 139: 1 destroyed
Wellington III: 2 destroyed

Allied ground losses:
28 casualties reported

Airbase hits 6
Airbase supply hits 2
Runway hits 42

Day 2

Day Air attack on Derby , at 24,85

Japanese aircraft
G4M1 Betty x 26
Ki-21 Sally x 81
Ki-46-II Dinah x 6

Allied aircraft
F4F-4 Wildcat x 10
CW-21B Demon x 8
Brewster 339D x 8
Kittyhawk I x 18
P-39D Airacobra x 5

Japanese aircraft losses
G4M1 Betty: 14 destroyed
Ki-21 Sally: 30 destroyed, 17 damaged
Ki-46-II Dinah: 1 destroyed

Allied aircraft losses
F4F-4 Wildcat: 6 damaged
CW-21B Demon: 4 damaged
Brewster 339D: 2 damaged
Kittyhawk I: 1 destroyed, 6 damaged
P-39D Airacobra: 1 damaged
Hudson I: 2 destroyed
Wellington III: 1 destroyed
Blenheim IV: 1 destroyed

Airbase hits 2
Runway hits 10

The combat report makes it look like I am an idiot for sending in unescorted bombers. In reality 80 Zeros form Keopang were supposed to escort the strike but they could not locate their target. This is annoying because:

1. They flew from the same base as the bombers
2. They were at normal range and the bombers were at extended range
3. They had escorted strikes there about 10-15 times before
4. Derby has been reconed every day for the last 2 months
5. They had 300 freakin' bombers to follow

The kicker was that the next day the bombers flew agin (unescorted) and then I get a message that air missions were canceld due to bad weather. I guess just the Zeros didn't want to get wet.

Total losses for the 2 days was 150 Sallys and 30 Betties. If the Zeros had flown they would have cut through the lousy fighters and this would have been a great day for me.

This is the second time in this game that the escorts bailed on my. I lost 50 Nells in the 1st week of the war when the Zeros did not escort a strike on Singapore.

Worse yet, this is a PBEM so I am subject to gratutious celebrating and mocking by my opponant.

... who went out and drank some mohitos!!

yeah, this saved me a world a grief a few times as well: i got to shoot down about 50 Kates on a couple of different occasions when the Zero pilots decided it would be a good day to sleep in.

Is it burning? Why is there smoke in the picture?

You know, inhaling fumes can be bad for your health. Makes you a bit nutty if it doesn't kill you.

I would feel better if my cunning opponant was responsible for this or if it was my screw up that was at fault. Here it was a great plan and a bad die roll. Now I know how my avitar feels when the Acme product he ordered does not work as planned.

Can't even fault the game mechanics as many other would. Just the roll of the dice.

I really wish there was an "Execute leader" button. I would feel better sending the Zero commanders off to meet their digital makers.

Were the Zeros on Sweep or Escort? I've taken to setting them to sweep. Seems to work better for me, and they seem to do better against the opponent.

Did you know that ExxonMobil made $1500 dollars a second in 2Q 2006?

I have 3 words for you "windfall profit tax." And that's coming from a entrepreneur MBA type.
