[QUOTE=Count Blucher] **Mouse\_maven** is a new mother from Canada who could easily filet a mouse (or mouse-shaped objects / stupid university administrators) with a scalpel blindfolded and with an angry zeal not seen since Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in ‘X-MEN’. [/QUOTE] Nu-hu… she’s from one of those places that are more Southern than thou (I’m not sure which one right now and fear she may dissect me if I pick the wrong one) and lives in Colorado. But the lab where she was working last has disintegrated due to the head of the lab heading up north. **youwiththeface** and **monstro** are twins. ---

[QUOTE=Alice The Goon] Ha- no. That just surprised me, for some reason. I was like, “Wow! I did not know that!” That is all. I’m assuming you guys knew each other before the Dope? That would be weird, to find that a Doper was my neighbor, just out of the blue. [/QUOTE] It was a little weird, yep. It started with “So are you in school? You are? I live near there. Where? Just up the street from some intersection. You too? What’s your address? No way! That’s awesome!” ---

[QUOTE=Birdmonster] …I have to ask. Title? [/QUOTE] **Codeword Dictionary** Stuff like this: _OVERLORD (Allied 44) The invasion of northern France. Papers with the actual times and locations for the actual execution of OVERLORD were marked BIGOT. This information was controlled through a special access list (a “Bigot List”). Executed 6 June, 1944, this date has become the preeminent “D-Day” in history. Four airborne division were dropped behind the beaches to secure routes inland and to prevent German counterattacks. American, Canadian and British units landed in the early morning of 6 June on sixteen beaches roughly from La Madeleine in the west to Ouistreham in the east. A massive fleet provided shore bombardment for the five first-wave divisons and several special-operations units. Deception operations in support of OVERLORD came under the heading BODYGUARD and included COPPERHEAD, FORTITUDE, GRAFFHAM, HAMBONE, IRONSIDE, JAEL, ROYAL FLUSH, SKYE and ZEPPELIN. Rehearsals for the invasion included BEAVER, DUCK, FABIUS, FOX, HARLEQUIN and TIGER. BULBASKE, DINGSON, HOUNDSTOOTH, TITANIC and SAMWEST were special operations supporting OVERLORD. Airborne landings included CHICAGO, DETROIT DINGSON and LOST. Other plans to invade northern France included RUDGE, VERTE, QUICKSILVER and ROUNDHAMMER. See FLASHLAMP, BIGOT and TAXABLE._ ---
