Thanks, **RTFirefly**. Definitely seemed like my only shot at securing Tunis. It’s unfortunate, though, that I was too dazzled at my own brilliance :rolleyes: in the West to get a single damn thing accomplished in the East. Razzum frazzum. So, **JC** , was that an NMR from G? While I am loathe to suggest a(_nother_) delay, I find myself in the somewhat unenviable position of really needing for there to be a player there. If he fails to send in his fall move, could we possibly get a postponement until we get someone that’s willing to submit orders? ---

You kept me alive for another season. I think that’s something. ---

If it had been an NMR you’d have seen a different ouput. ---

Check out my order for my the Turkish fleet in the Ionian in Dip 936 for what an NMR would look like. Dagnabbit! ---

**RTFirefly** … I brought you a bugle this morning. So, unless you had other plans… Care to do the honors? ---

I was late getting my orders in for Dip 936; my home PC couldn’t hold a connection last night or this morning. So I quickly made my self ready (sharpened the little pointy helmet and such) and made for work. ---

**Abe Babe** joins in with his kazoo. I brought some pots and pans if any of you want to tackle the percussion. ---

I’m not going to wake him up. Seems like everyone who does that takes some damage in the round. Maybe no correlation, but I’m not one to tempt fate. Anyone else seen the [German Invasion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114014) thread in GQ? Wonder how that scenario would affect the game? ---

Jeez, let a guy have a life will ya? I was settling on a home equity loan this morning and it took longer than I thought. [Both 936 and 983 have been adjudicated.](http://www.wooleysark.com/dip) Now turn down that racket! Kudos to Russia in 936 for quite a comeback. And I don’t even want to talk about France in 983. ---

Dave, Dave, Dave. I was really hoping not to have to destroy you in a painful and most unpleasant manner. Now I have to go to the bazaar and get some Extra Strength Whoop Ass[sub]TM[/sub] (now with Bee-atch) ---

Oh, and BTW, when you asked me the other day in an email if I still wanted to keep playing? The answer is “yes”. 😃 ---

Funny. She doesn’t _look_ Davish. Oh, and **Ginger** may want to change her ‘location’ tag. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Abe Babe \* > **Ginger** may want to change her ‘location’ tag. Hell, so should **Dave**. It wasn’t like his former residence was even on the outskirts of Baltimore. But his new place is a lot closer to Delaware than to Baltimore.
