Yeah I had to look it up...
Definition of ALLEGORICAL - of, relating to, or having the characteristics of allegory. Having hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text.

my answer would be, strawberry? what strawberry??? its an Arorae (shaped like that island in the Gilberts) See, I'm transcending the literal sense of a succulent body.

If there is an island named Areola...I want to go there just so I can climb up the central volcano.

The strawberry as an allegorical device. Discuss:


There is the use of strawberry and chocolate as an allegorical device in the screenplay Fresa y chocolate (http://www.emiliobejel.com/a-difficult-rectification) It represents the constant tension between the heterosexual and homosexual societies within the Cuban society. The story might not have the same classic affect on mankind as say Plato's Allegory of the Cave but the symbolism is very meaningful within the Cuban society.

I don't know about that. I see that picture of Elizabeth Hurley and it just makes me want to erase all those pictures of gladiators and well-oiled Turkish wrestlers I have on my computer.

Plus...where is the chocolate?

Speaking of allegory, they are not holding anything back in the scene.

Even though it might be offensive to French maids, I will post it for the benefit of those with slow servers.





See, now you've got everyone all worked up. It's not good for them at their age.

Yes...yes, I see your point. You are suggesting a possible liability exposure. I'll have a confab with D,C &H.

We are talking walking around in the desert for 4 decades...and no soft drinks or beer either. No women either, just a few Bedouins who have not bathed in 3 years. Camels, yes, but that's it. So think twice, amigo.

Status: offline 		JJ is evidently trying to sneak something through the Formosa Straits. Maybe troops being withdrawn from somewhere in the DEI? AK's with oil? Misidentification? Even though we could perhaps hit them from Batan, the number of fighters on Formosa means it would probably go badly for us.

Anyone think PBY's or medium bombers on night attack would hit anything? Of course, we will send in subs.

Dude...check post 12913. It's still there.

While you're at it, check 12909 and 12910.

Status: offline 		Does anyone else find sub patrol plotting tedious? I sent some US subs to the Bay of Bengal so I don't have to worry about them

How cool would Engrish ranguage text commands be? "Subron 3 to patrol the East China Sea West of Tokara Retto."


"Tokara Retto" sounds like some kind of pasta dish. USN submarine home basing migrating from Midway to Manado to reduce transit times and increase time on station. Manado is now a level 5 port with good naval support.

Carriers (Wasp and Yorktown) have disbanded at Manado to rejuvenate the air groups. We are starting to get the SBD-5's but there are no replacement SBD's. Sea Bees and AA unit are loading at Manado for Horycrappo-jima. A bn. of infantry and CD guns are loading at Cagayan. Amphibious landing at Horycrappo-jima in about 7-8d.

1st Marine Para Bn flying in to Batan Is. They will take Horycrappo-jima the day before the landing.

Allow 3 weeks to get to level 5....first air raid on the home islands will be about a year before the D-Day landings in Europe.

Would it be possible to delay bombing, landing, and otherwise screwing around with emperors stuff so much for awhile? I've gotten used to the war now and would surely miss it over morning Java should it come to a premature end. Perhaps you could fire bomb some of Stalin's stuff.
