Yer Matey be a Monkey? We were thinkin' the M was from Bond, James Bond. So, ifn he be a Monkey, be he Davy, or Peter, or Michael or Mickey?
Avast! He likely be one 'o them monkeys from Monkey Island!
When speakin' like to actuals, I calls him a Poodle I do, but avast! 'e ain' nothing but a landlubbin' scalawag.
Sips mimosa and tries not to ponder why the head of England's secret agents is called a Poodle.
If you play your Frank Zappa records backwards, you will come to understand. (And also end up with a TERRIBLE headache.) Hey, perhaps that's what happened to Dr G!
I call HD 'Poodle' because he has had schnauzers the entire 10+ years I've known him, which he refers to as 'poodles,' hence the nickname.
Health update: we finally got to sleep (with occasional disturbances from hospital staff) sometime after midnight and woke up all bleary-eyed circa 8:30 am. The doc has been by now and said he can go home today if Physical Therapy says it's OK! Two weeks of no work, no nothing but being a bossy crab! ;)

WB, Sal and Terra Amore!
With Sal's return, we once again have one of my former students in the region.
RIP, Squiffy.

Hi everyone
I got a recruitment tg from Veritaria. This region looks more interesting than where I was, so I moved. And here I am.

In regional news, Wesland has been AWOL 20 days now. I have no idea whether or not he put his nation on vacation mode before he left, so we might be having a funeral in 8 days or a month if he doesn't return first.
Recruitment is going well:
Total Telegrams Sent: 15183
Recruited Nations: 16
Pending Recruits: 25
Recruited & Deceased: 13.
Who has anything to report on corrupting the youth of Athens? New recipes for hemlock? ;)
"You know what also has a one in ten million chance?" asks blue collar worker Bharatendu Mistletoe. "This project actually discovering something useful! Why should we, the suffering taxpayers, fork over all that money so they can discover... what? You can't eat subatomic particles, you know. I'm sure they'll learn lots of interesting things about protons and quarks but on the other hand... I don't give a flying phluyinphukk. Scientists that aren't studying something practical and for the good of the common man shouldn't be given government funding."
Welcome! Good to know the telegrams are doing something. :P
I am getting some abuse still from recipients of telegrams. On the plus side, my ability to snark and be witty has improved rather a lot. ^_^
I would hazard a guess that we've discovered more about the physical world from open ended, "blue sky" style research than we have from more focused, directed studies, and that more over research for its own sake has yielded more in terms of practical inventions than research that has a specific aim.
People are sending you abusive replies to your telegrams?? Surely if they don't like recruitment tgs, they can just change their nation's settings to block them.
The human brain: difficult to understand, but still the most delicious body part.
What is the ugliest part of your body?
Some say it's your nose,
Some say it's your toes,
But I say it's your mind...
