So where's the updates on the 2nd Semi-Annual BDLRM tournament? How many has Dave H lost already? Who are the favorites to replace the Saintly Teddy Windsor? We demand UPDATES!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: You have started haven't you?

Okay I'm home and what does my in-box have? A turn from Joe Shaw? A turn from Lars? A turn from dalem? A turn from Noba? A set-up from Papa Khann? And the answer is: !!!!!NO!!!!! Reckon I'll have to hold back a little and let you guys think you're winning. I swear, y'all get a few tanks blown up, or think you're surrounded and whoosh gone to Vegas or sumfink. Sheesh!

Western Task Force-Commanded by Gen George S Patton, made landing on the western coast of Africa in November 1942. Immediate objective was Casablanca. The WTF was dissolved shortly after all objectives were taken. [edit]-You really should take these grog questions to the outerboards. You're just lucky that I was feeling kind-hearted today.

"Exhalted" group Nidan? *Shakes head* *Sighs*

Well, I for one, am very pleased to see various members of The Pool out and about contributing to the various Threads. Our own dear Papa Khann had this brilliant insight which he posted in the "Contour Thread", which I would like to share with everyone so that they might appreciate the intellectual gifts that seemingly abound in Minnesota Papa Khann: Doh!!! Reading his posts here in this Thread, one could never truly grasp the depths of his intellect. Apparently hanging with Lars, dalem, & Seanachai has clearly raised his IQ to a new level (almost double digits)!

L is for the layabout that he has become by not sending turns. A is for the alibis that he always has for not sending turns R is for the ridiculous excuses he has for not sending turns S is for Saturday and Sunday when he NEVER sends turns Put them all together they spell Noturnsendingdrivelpostinglayabout PS-Did anybody get a turn from Lars last night?

LOL! How the hell was this determined? A cook-off? What about: Best Mobile Brothels: Italians

I, too, am shocked by Lars' complete lack of decorum and fair-play. Even now he whines and cries at the presence of two Italian tankettes in our little epic battle. I mean tankettes for crying out loud (Lars' specialty). Oh, by the way Joe, that's not a Tiger sighting down on your Sherman in our battle. It just looks like one. Heh, heh, heh.

Hey! I reserved a spot on the General Forum for this Thread. Go Rambo! See ya on the Dark Side of the Forum. I predict this one will be a huge hit.

Well written rebuttal, I see your and Dave H's points. Oh well, I can now return to the bliss that my ignorance provides. [edit]-I would also like to point out that it IS possible to be corrected with reasoned arguments. I would commend my "teachers" for their lack of flaming in their replies.

What does this have to do with units and individuals whose training and bearing made them the "best of the best"? As I recall, none of them got a single hit. Not that I doubt their courage, but it seems a bit off topic. </font>

I don't have a link, but my hat is off to those three torpedo squadrons from the Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown during the Battle of Midway. Flying their low and slow Devastators against the Jap fleet, boring in despite being shot down one after another, ignoring the futility of their mission, these men continued on into certain death without any hesitation whatsoever. I think there were very few survivors. By their sacrifice they cleared the way for the SBD's to turn the tide of war in the Pacific. Incredible sacrifice and heroism.

Now Joe, I think you're being a bit harsh on the SSN. Clearly he has responded to your oh so polite request to post an e-mail address (poor sot has MSN). As far as location, it's written all over his post. Look at his name. Clearly the ultimate fantasy for our visitor, driving around in a rented Ford Escort with a dozen Krispy-Kremes. It don't get no better than that in the MidWest! Okay, now let's narrow it down. He used all caps which is similar to a child jumping up and down screaming "Look at me, Look at me". I can see that you're starting to get it now Joe. It has to be either Ohio, Illinois, or Indiana. At first I leaned towards Illinois, because of the brief nature of the post (A trait I would recommend our newcomer retain if he posts here again). But then, the fact that his sig-line contains some insane ramblings about "radioactive rubber pants", I have to conclude that our visitor is from Indiana. I wonder if he knows Dave H?

Hey, what's this big box addressed to Seanachai? It says: Contents: One Mark IV Yacinator Adult signature required Addressed to: Seanachai From: FU Hmmmmm... I didn't know Seanachai went to Fordham University.
