Warning, WAY OFF TOPIC: Hey, I'm one of those, too. I was just sending a
little tease towards our friends in the UK. Malvinas is what the
Argentinians call Falklands. I would almost prefer Falklands/Malvinas,
honoring the fallen on both sides.

look

-Heheh. Well, I kinda was doing it on my own, without much (any)
prompting
-from the FT line of ship classes.

I know what you mean, again, small teasing on my part. By the way, Allan
was actually replying to me about the 'Mongol and Zulu not fitting', I
think. I almost said: Oh, by other you mean indigenous peoples portrayed
as
barbarian by western culture. However, I know somebody would see through
my
(American)liberal tendencies. ;->= I think most of us realized what the
'other' was for. I would point out that I consider Aztec to fit, as the
whole hemisphere is 'the Americas'. Hmmm... that could be off topic,
likewise. Whatever.

>Right now, only care on this one cuz I'm hoping to complete that story
>about my daughter. ;->=
-Oh yeah! When's the next installment? And is she cute, single?

What can I say? Writer's block of the worst kind: get great ideas, but
when
sitting down to paper or computer screen, nothing comes out. *sigh* By
the
way, that should have been 'Captain Lady Megan Evans', right?

By the way, all dads consider their daughters cute; she would disagree,
but
not too strongly. Yes, single, but a tad underage. Now, are you trying
to
pick a fight? ;->=
