I ate so much over the last 3 days that there is the beginning of a minor famine in NC today.


That is a damned good idea. But I still 7 lb.'s of ham left.

I have WitE, WitP and AE, UV, and Harpoon: Ultimate Edition.  Although I've not yet played any Harpoon or WitE. 

Possibilities I'm looking at include GG's World at War: A World Divided, Highway to the Reich, and Empire in Arms.  Does anyone have a recommendation for one of these, or any of the many titles I am overlooking?

Have you thought of maybe the Campaign Series. East Front, West Front & Rising Sun. All three games in one. Nice tactical combat, pretty easy to play and short playing time. I like it.

And when Rising Sun came out I'd gone to heaven. I wish Combat Mission had done so. But alas.

Maybe we'll have to get some multiplayer going together...

Apparently Tarzan's Cheetah (the chimp) died...


quote:


Cheetah the chimp from Tarzan flicks of the 1930s dies at Florida animal sanctuary at age 80

By Washington Post


A file photo shows Johnny Weissmuller, right, as Tarzan, Maureen O’Sullivan as Jane, and Cheetah the chimpanzee, in a scene from the 1932 movie Tarzan the Ape Man. A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah the chimpanzee from the Tarzan movies of the 1930s died Cheetah died on Dec. 24 of kidney failure at age 80.:




PALM HARBOR, Fla. — A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah the chimpanzee sidekick in the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s has died at age 80.

The Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor announced that Cheetah died Dec. 24 of kidney failure.

Sanctuary outreach director Debbie Cobb on Wednesday told The Tampa Tribune (http://bit.ly/rRuTeJ ) that Cheetah was outgoing, loved finger painting and liked to see people laugh. She says he seemed to be tuned into human feelings.

Based on the works of author Edgar Rice Burroughs, the Tarzan stories, which have spawned scores of books and films over the years, chronicle the adventures of a man who was raised by apes in Africa.

Cheetah was the comic relief in the Tarzan films that starred American Olympic gold medal swimmer Johnny Weissmuller. Cobb says Cheetah came to the sanctuary from Weissmuller’s estate sometime around 1960.

Cobb says Cheetah wasn’t a troublemaker. Still, sanctuary volunteer Ron Priest says that when the chimp didn’t like what was going on, he would throw feces.



But few years ago this same Washington Post published an article:


"Lie of the Jungle: The Truth About Cheeta the Chimpanzee"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/AR2008112500939_5.html?hpid=features1&hpv=national

in which the author claimed that the chimp was not Tarzan's 1930's friend...

Paul Vebber runs them on Yahoo for Baseball and Football. Watch the General Discussion forum for a post when they are opened up for registration, usually early to mid August for football and mid March for Baseball. I'll try to post a reminder here in case any Thread Brothers want to get in on the fun.
