Okay, bad joke time. Skip if you really don't want to see a stupid old joke.

(NOTE: only in jest, I think the trip is an excellent idea)

Journal Entry: December 14th...

Most of us have run out of Depends. The ship is beginning to smell. Morale is sinking, and out only hope is an airdropped shipment, but weather is against it.

Time is running out.

Okay, I'm done now. It's late, I'm tired, and I'm just going to run away now to escape the inevitable flames. biggrin.gif

Honor, Duty, Courage.

Valhalla awaits you, honorable warrior...
