Hummmmm, the uniform talking looks just like Popeye's nemesis, Bluto. The entourage looks like a bunch of DC bureaucrats (Bureau of the Navy, Torpedo Ordinance Div).

***************Sonar Room, USS Cassin, 20 mi NNE Darwin, 08:20, Jan. 2, 1942(c)****************


Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: Chief, come listen to this <hands over headphones>

Chief: <listening....hears low pitched "mmmmmmmmmmmm:> Peabody! That's 60 cycle, damn it!

Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: Yes, that is what I thought at first too. But it's intermittent and non-random.

Chief: Peabody, you are supposed to be looking for Jap subs. It's probably the hot plate in the galley again. Maybe the cook turned it off because the coffee was hot. Did you think about that?

Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: Sure, that's what they WANT us to think.

Chief: What do you mean, they?

Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: I'm not really sure chief, but there is an intelligence behind this. The signal is pulsatile and the time of the pusles are perfectly proportional to the first 4 Mersenne Primes so far.

Chief: <listens again and hears the same "mmmmmmmmmmmmm"> It doesn't sound "pulsating" to me, Peabody.

Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: Right, that because of the proportionality, Chief. The 5th Mersenne is large number.

Chief: How large is that, Peabody?

Sonarman 1st Class Peabody: Well, if I am right, this signal will last about 4 1/2 months.

Chief: GODDAMNIT PEABODY! I TOLD YOU TO STOP READING THAT JULES VERNE CRAP! JUST LISTEN FOR THE GODDMAN JAP SUBS BEFORE THEY FIRE A TORPEDO UP YOUR ASS! <turns to leave...then stops and turns to another sailor> Kowalski, make sure Peabody gets laid when we get back to Sydney. I'll pay for it.



Thanks to service on C130s, I have hearing damage and tinnitis so I hear ringing in my ears all the time; will the Chief pay for my getting laid too??


I think the point is that Sonarman 1st Class Peabody is quite interested in technical matters and is....well.....not yet accustomed to the company of women, if you get my drift.

Is there something you want to tell us?



Depends...will the Chief pay if i say?

<We see the interior of a large craft composed of carefully machined surfaces of an arsenic-carbon-vanadaium alloy. The design is fantastically unergonomic and, to tell you the truth, is not even that aesthetic either. I am pretty sure that the race which designed this craft has no gays..or Italians either. A large, grey-green trident shaped hand perhaps 18 in in length adjusts an apparent control lever. At the end of each digit is a thick protective covering of hardened hair which is covered by a vile green-brown muck that smells of...well...frankly it smells like **** because it is. I mean, you would think an advanced race like this could devise a better strategy to get waste product off their hind quarters, but, there you have it. The room reverberates with a loud "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM">


Chief: GODDAMNIT Wortj#esqrxx! Can't you fix that damn 60 cycle? It's drivng me nuts.

Helmsamn First Rate Wortj#esqrxx: Workin' on it, Chief.

The 2 v 2 has turned into a 1 v 0. Admirar Rord Nerson has been abducted by the viscious Pueblo band. Admirar Rord Fabertong is doing pennance or some such thing and Admiral Lord SPrior is off to the Piltdown Man Reenactors Annual Convention in Sussex...or maybe it's Wessex...or is it Nossex. I forget.


So, anyway, I had to take Stalker Girl in for her pre-op exam and the doc orders an ECG. So I wheel her upstairs and there are two LVN's (female) and SG and me in the room and the first LVN asks:

Any allergies?

No

Have you had an ECG here before?

No

Your present weight?

And then...there is a sudden jolt of tension in the room. The second LVN looks toward me with alarm and the first one stops working on the computer and then they all 3 look at me like I am the pizza delivery guy at the Pentagon during the Bin Laden raid.


General Turgidson: Right, any sign of an air defense system alert in Pakistan? If this gets out early we are seriously ******.

Me: OK, who ordered the deep dish with the works, hold the anchovies?

I considered a few responses to this post. Finally, I decided to simply share with you a bit of Russian wisdom.

*********************January 3, 1942(c)******************


Darwin/Bathurst/Saumlaki: True to form, JJ tried a night surface raid on the helpless ships at Saumlaki trying to unload dozers and shore guns. The baaahsterds!

Night Time Surface Combat, near Saumlaki at 78,117, Range 5,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
CL Tama
DD Teruzuki
DD Kawakaze, Shell hits 2

Allied Ships
CA Portland, Shell hits 2
CL Detroit
DD Nicholas
DD O'Bannon
DD Duncan
DD Bailey
DD Sims
DD Helm
DD Henley, Shell hits 2

The LYB's get their T-crossed, fight to a draw and wisely withdraw. The Arried TF CO, Adm. Blevins, has spine because somebody set the rheostat in his neck to "High Threat Tolerance". So they stay on station. Next up is an ammo-eater taffy of 2 DD's that were probably supposed to arrive first.

Allied radar has them coming in from 23K yds, Blevins crosses the T again...but his boys can't shoot straight. Even so, mission accomplished. JJ retreats.

Darwin/Bathurst/Saumlaki: (Cont.) Suns comes up. Unescorted Helens appear over Saumlaki. I think the CAP had trouble reaching them as the carriers are 40 mi East.
