Too much French wine, I imagine.

Did she say what she wanted? My guess is she was trying to warn you..about something.

Meh. Could be worse. There's an upside to being 'petrified' in your bed at 2am.

The most likely candidates for hidden messages are

Here is what Wiki had to say about I will survive: "The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation, and is still the #1 staple of office parties and karaoke nights."

Do you keep female slaves, Admiral Lord SPrior? What kind of operation you running there in Kandy House?

My nightmares involve accidently stumbling into a Sushi breastaurant on karaoke night and being forced to listen to You Right Up My Rife sung repeatedly.

See, that's my problem. Karoake rook rike great fun but you either have to have a good voice or THINK you have a good voice to enjoy it. I suppose you can drink until you exceed the "loss of all personal dignity" threshold but then how are you supposed to remember the words?

I have the same problem with dancing. I am pretty sure I make Mitt Romney rook rike MJ.

************Pranning for June 4****************


Airfield damage at Naha is at 13% but we apparently broke a bunch of fighters. Japan-mens in ships apparentry run away so we send in North Carolina tonight to bombard again then, in the morning, we raid Nago with about 40 B-24's from Aparri.

Washington and Massachusetts are fully armed in separate task forces at Miyako-jima, ready to take their turns if needed.

You gotta love the fast BB's.

Yes, but what if you also forget you had fun?

My GI doc that can't remember me because I was wearing pants in the doctor's dining room gave me 8 mg of versed. That is party time for an African elephant but I can't remember a damn thing until I woke up and Stalker Girl was laughing at the pictures.

Koreans have mastered the art of exceeding "loss of all personal dignity". All it takes is a bottle of soju and a dare. Then all bets are off. In the interests of full disclosure, the Koreans in the establishments I frequented would just as happily get drunk on Jim Beam, which could be bought tax free at the Class VI store for $2 for a fifth. Jack Daniels was more expensive, it cost $2.80 for a fifth.

Ground losses from the cruiser bombardment at Naha were overstated...as usual.

Japan is sparring with the Chicoms over some isrands in the East China Sea. Japan now has a radar installation on Ishigaki (we know where that is, right?) with 160 guys. They also surged 70 F-15's to the civilian airport at Naha. That a rot of F-15's..even better that P-47's.

The PRC claimed the airspace was an "air defense identification zone" so the USAF send a couple of BUFF's over to yank their chain.

What size airfield you think could be put there?

That was Hartlepool and points north. We've got Southsea Castle to protect us. And those strange forts out in the oggin. Plus Palmerston's follies.

Hory crap! That is really cool. Judging from the brick that must date to the 19th century or earlier...and then perhaps retrofitted with concrete? Also, according to the video the women there are fairly attractive.
