The Star-Spangled Bombers!! BOB July Bombing Run

[Blackhorse]

Wow! Half a dozen picks are in so far. I would love to hear from everyone that's flying this mission...com'on, com'on!

The grizzled Fokker pilot heard the flutter of wings and looked up from the flight maps as a pigeon landed on his table. "What have we here?" he mumbled to himself. Attached to the leg of the bird was a small tube. "Well, I guess that WarlockBob thought it would be funny to send this one by carrier pigeon. Well, I had better figure out who this month's target is." The old timer opened the tube, retrieved the tiny roll of paper, grabbed his pipe and a magnifying glass for figuring out the tiny writing. "What's this?!" He exclaimed! "Why that buzzard decided to encode it in Morse Code! This calls for a stiff drink, a bigger bowl of tobacco, and my decoder book!" Off the pilot trudged to his library to find his old boy scout manual with the Morse code listed. After digging around for a few, he pulled out a book and blew a large cloud of dust off the cover. "Yup, that's the one I be needin' for sure. Now to figure out what this new fella who calls himself a squadron leader is so secretive about." After two glasses of prime whiskey on the rocks and a large two-hour bowl, the bleary-eyed pilot finally got it translated! As he read the message, he stared down in disbelief and rubbed his bloodshot eyes. "Drink more Ovaltine!?!? What in the blazes is this? Ba Humbug! I'll just send something to whoever I feel like it this month, and darn the consequences! I will have to have words with that young gun!" He got up and wrote a hasty note and put it back in the tube on the pigeon's leg. "Off with you, you mangy bird! Go find your master and tell him I got my orders!"

Nice.

Of course, you could have just asked the bird. That is, if you would have understood its pidgeon English.

You can never watch too much Christmas Story....

Orders received!

 

[mejoshee]

I suck at replying when I get my orders.

But, good news is, I did and I'm in! :twisted:

 

[WarlockBob]

Long months suck for things like this.... Everyone has had their orders for a while now, there's been no activity for a week, and we have another week to go before we really get this going....

Does anyone else feel this way? I always have

 

[Blackhorse]

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Well, it gave us lots of time to plan, especially those of us who tend to order mostly from 4 Noggins, since they were on vacation last week.

 

[Blackhorse]

It seems like we got a really good lead this month too. I appreciate that.

 

[WarlockBob]

Don't get me wrong, I like really good leads too; it is so much easier to plan and organize that way. I just don't like a lot of dead time

 

[Blackhorse]

Interesting that someone would bring up "dead time" as an issue relating to an activity designed to bomb the crap outta someone. :bom:
