Actually, Charlie Sheen was the first choice to appear at the press conference, but nobody has seen him since he & Manny went on that bender in Vegas... Hmm

 Manstein's revenge:

 

 

 VanceCrozier:

 

Well now the story is the volume of mail back-log. Considering the "legislate them back to work" deal happened because of the essential services argument, the first priority is given to (drumroll.....) anything that looks like a bill / invoice / payment. Considering Friday is a national holiday, I'm assuming early next week for arrival at my bunker.

 

And anything looking like a HO gets lower priority?

 

 

 

...except in Ontario, where they are considering legalizing it...

Does that guarantee a visit by Manny?

Hi guys,

Second Ho underway -- wings assembled, basic assembly on the cockpit and engine inlet and exhaust spikes so far, hopefully prepainting tomorrow. Just doublechecking, the camo for the North Africa/Italy scheme was 76/79/80???

Cheers, M/TB379

I wish I would've shipped the gadget via FedEx or UPS.

Maybe if you knew where it was I'd consider it....

 

 

 

I believe Vance has been busy bribing postal officials with 1970s era AIRFIX kits in hope of getting a lead...........

...maybe...

They want my 1/72 Airfix He177, but I'm refusing. I'd like to give them Grief, but not that one! Wink

Manstein's revenge

...There once was a HO from Nantucket ......Whistling

Ok here is mine!

There was an Old Man who supposed,

That the Ho Group Build should have been closed;

Dang mojos, what rats!

Who instead of pictures of HOs posted cute little cats,

While that futile old Manny dozed.

There once was a Navigator from Pawtucket

Who found his 229 and said Phuket

Is an island in Thailand

And with these tools in my hand

I'll build the HO instead of waiting for the Canadians to truck it!

I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!
