Please excuse my absence, but October and November were/are very busy for me. The wife and I moved into a place of our own, I am changing venues for work (same company different Property, got to love Las Vegas), and I wiped out my hard drive and started a fresh copy of Vista 64 and everything else.
The next two rounds are on me!

Sorry Opie, this long an unexcused absence will require a note from your mother for full reinstatement of privileges. You can still buy, but you are not allowed to drink without the note.Originally posted by OpiesEye:

TO: Resident Snake Eater commando type critterOriginally posted by jlf1961:

From: Resident Snake Eater commando type critter
Subject: Rations and equipment requests
While it is true that we commando type critters rarely care about what we eat, we do draw the line at some things.
Like the WW1 rations just delivered to the training facility. I mean, when the smell of the meat causes our junkyard dog to pass out, we aint going to even attempt to eat it.
On the subject of Equipment Requests, I once more have to ask that you supply the snake eaters with water craft that are actually seaworthy.
I did not mind that you purchased a slightly used submarine for covert personnel insertions, however, when I was told I had to go and take delivery of the vessel which happened to be under 300 feet of water, I got a bit upset.
Finally, I have considered having a medium conduct a summoning to get the spirits of Gen. Patton, Our esteemed and much missed first citizen, and vlad the impaler to have long discussions with you folks on just how spec ops personnel should be supplied.
PS
Yes, the powder that was all over this memo was indeed a biological warfare agent. You should begin to develop trench foot on your hands almost immediately. Once you have responded favorably to our requests, I will have the lab boys begin working on a cure.
From: special weapons design officer
It is with immense regret that i have to inform you of a mistake in the delivery of WW1 rations, which were to be the new main attraction of the beloved El dorado museum, to your unit instead of reglementary WW2 rations which are now under way.
as for the naval transport, our team of grease monkeys worked out a way to get around under water, the only problem being the trench foot hands so we only got to the blueprint stage... :
PS: Yes the blue powder on the letter is our own mix, we just dont know what it does exactly
i think a trade of antidotes is worth a try as it is becoming harder and harder to supplie El dorado with the new and improved weapons it asks for with trench foot on hands...

What to do, What to do? How do we handle the OpiesEye absence. You know, I just don't have time for this, let the El Dorado Super Duper Big Kahoona Last Chance Court of Appeals deal with it.
On the Bench, The Honorable Chief Justice Ivana Mann
For the defense, from the firm of Dewy, Screwem and Howe Perry Mason-Mints
For The People, Sam The Sham (and the Pharos, 1965 Solid Gold)
The defendant floods the court with character witnesses
And take my word for it, they are some bunch of characters.
After careful deliberation, they are unable to reach a verdict
So, in the best tradition of El Dorado, they kick it upstairs for the Big-Wigs to figure out.
Vietvet takes an unforgiving attitude
The girls from Rosie's are more forgiving
Lane has finally managed to melt his brain down listening to that 1960's acid rock stuff, but votes to let him back in
And the Company Clerk excuses himself, he's found something else to keep himself busy
OK, he can stay, but he has to pay cash.
