Is it necessary to be privy to some insider knowledge if I wnat to understand all those Dave-bashing jokes here, or am I just not getting them? ---

No, Schnitte. Just bash for the sake of bashing. Mr. North has offered me the title of Archduchess of Austria. I think I told him to shove it sideways. Imperial Empress, Ginger of the North - World domination or nothing! ---

Adjudications by hand are in the mail. If anyone has the time and inclination to put them in map form and send them out, great. Otherwise, map will follow tonight. Winter builds will be due tomorrow at 5 p.m. CST. At this point, I want to move into the year a week schedule that gets **White Lightning** all a-titter. Is Tuesday,Friday, Saturday deadlines good for everyone? **Schnitte** you don’t even need to speak the language to enjoy Dave-bashing. It’s universal. In fact, in Uzbekistan, the number one rated TV show is “Funny shots of Dave getting hit in the crotch.” ---

Hey, don’t forget the copyright notice on that schedule. And you now owe me $10. I hate weekend adjudications. They suck ass worst than any ass has been sucked before. But not as much as Led Zeppelin. ---

Hey, somebody forward me the results at [inthetank2001@yahoo.com](mailto:inthetank2001@yahoo.com), if you’d be so kind? I won’t be able to see it until like 10 pm tonight if I wait till I get home. Thank you… ---

Oh wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. By the way, that definitely was not an army trying to land in Brest. I think I just typed the order wrong. Really. ---

**JC** did you go out for a 3 martini lunch with the boys from marketing again? Interesting turn. In the west, y’all got some talking to do. I’ll send something to you, [WL] I think you will be pleased with the results. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ppg\_shg \* > \*\*Was it James or George who always said, “No talk. You die!” \*\* That would be George. I believe the exact quote was “No more talk. You die.” From our old Dungeons and Dragons days of being 14 and getting totally hopped up on soda, ordering the nastiest ground beef pizza around (4.99 special for the wafer thin 16 incher" and staying up till 4 am so we were totally useless for the rest of the weekend. ---
