At least her school still has a Student Council... my daughter was crushed when she went to her 8th grade student council organizational meeting excited to run for re-election, and instead of elections, the advisor (a 20-smething new teacher) told them everyone that came to the meeting was on the council, and instead of getting to vote on things for the school, they would only do service projects in the community.

I think I just changed my mind about abolishing the death penalty. The efficiency of this method is just too good to pass up.

The Lord Admiral's reaction will when he discovers what Mandrake has done with the British fleet will be comparable to this. I'm sure Mandrake will cheer him up though!

He'll just tell Churchill it was stolen and the Allies will buy him a new fleet.

Status: offline 		The funniest thing about that is not the names, which are funny as Hell and over the top politically incorrect...it's the fact that a couple of frat boys got together, put the names on the teleprompter at obvious risk to their careers...and then got the earnest, but completely clueless, news reader to read them on air while carefully trying to pronounce the "names" with imagined ethnic and lingusitic purity.

You just know she prepared ahead of time because she chose the long "u" sound for "Fuk"

The way she pronunced "Bang Ding OW" is like the Russian roulette scene out of "Deer Hunter"

You see, Cap'n, I would consider that a moral imperative were I one of the teleprompter guys. There are some things worth fighting for in this world. There are some worth dying for. There are some worth getting fired for.

"Holy F***, some ting wong, we too low" <laughter>

"Wait, Ho Lee Fuk is the pilot's name" <laughter>

"And We Tu Lo is the co-pilot" <laughter>

.....some minutes later, everyone is fatigued from laughing so hard....
