Manny von Manstein

Heeresgruppe Süd

C/O MOJO das Katten

Panzer Batallion 229

Eastern Front-Kursk, Russia

(Third Panzer IV on the left with all the chicken bones strewn around it and chicken blood camo scheme)

I remember that thread!

This almost makes me want to join the HO229 GB. Confused

I think you have earned that title...in fact, if Vance had the "Cat Head" award ready I would have bestowed that on you for making such an enlightened request...

Uhhhh, my post of "Yes, Virginia there is a Manny" over on the Manny's Photo thread deserves consideration, as well.  Hmm

Good news - 4-day weekend for Easter. Bad news, extra work to clear up due to the long weekend. Bang Head Don't worry, I'll make time at the office tomorrow to finish up the coveted Cat's Head. Whistling

Fresh of the enigma machine...

<-begin transmission->

Under constant surveillance by the Gestapo I have received FM Manstein's field-post encrypted in Enigma...It has been decyphered by a member of the local Reichs Feline Flugbrigade.

I will first ship the PAPER HO via special armed cat-courier on a Fiesler Storch, then it will be loaded on U-229 for the final delivery...After FM Manstein signs it it will then be routed in order of rank to all members of the OKW and finally returned to COL CROZIER.  At that time a special COMMEMORATIVE PAPER HO badge will be awarded to all signees...end transmission

<- end transmission->

As an observer on this thread, do I qualify as a member?  I mean someone's got to sit in the back of the room and make snarky remarks.  Its a dirty job, but I'm up to it.

OK gents, like any good undercover operation, we need to identify the safe houses in advance. Just want to verify absolutely who is in on the "mail order Ho" mission. We'll need to have the receiver PM the next guy in the lineup for an address & keep it going one at a time.

Just send it pass Monster Island in the Pacific addressed to Big-Z. I live on the other side of the island but I can hike over and sign it.

Be careful, most of the island is radioactive and the other inhabitants aren't well... very welcoming if you know what I mean...
