I've written a four page Jikan script for this. It's only four pages long so I was thinking maybe four artists might want to do a page each. I've also used virtually no dialogue in case fellow scribes would like to add a few words here and there. I was thinking that the finished pages might get auctioned off for this cause.

I've emailed DaveyC and he's cool with the idea. So, if any creators are interested in this, drop me an email and I'll send you the script.

Because sometimes you just want to spend the evening with an old friend.

When am I gonna' get paid? 

It is also one of my most prized possessions.

In order to lay secure pipelines from the oil and gas fields in the Caspian Sea area to The Gulf/Arabian Sea, control of Iraq and Afghanistan was required. Control of Iran would be preferable as it would allow a more direct route.

Libya, of course, has approximately 39.1 billion barrels of oil reserves of its own (far more than the Caspian Kazakhstan (9.0bn barrels) and Azerbaijan (7.0bn barrels) region). Control of pipelines through Libya and Egypt into the Red Sea might be one goal here. We've all been taught that Somali pirates are a nuisance at the southern end of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, so once Libya is on-side I wouldn't be surprised to see the Somali Republic begin to generate more news of terrorism, piracy and such to prepare the way for more Allied naval strength in the area to protect the oil routes.

Another goal might be the neutralization of the Libyan Navy and the establishment of "Allied" naval bases along the Libyan coast, thereby making oil tanker shipping through the Mediterranean more secure.

This is all pure conjecture on my part, of course.

That's bloody good, that is. Thanks for sharing, Vzz!

"Death Race" on 5.

What a load of rubbish! But glorious rubbish. I didn't expect to finish it, but I did. All that iron and all those guns would weigh so much that the cars would be lucky to get to 16mph and would handle like rhinos on roller skates. Still, you don't watch films like that for their engineering accuracy, do you?

"Libyan Hospitals Attacked"

No sources listed, so hopefully this isn't true. Still, I do get that horrible sinking feeling. Again...

That's brilliant! ...and now we need a thread for cardboard models of Justice Department vehicles.

That's exactly what I want them to think. In fact, I'd rather slip 'neath the waters of eternity leaving nary a ripple.

I've got David Bishop's email address if you need it - but then, I suspect you have it too.

An' don't nobody forget it!

They told you to say that, didn't they?

And, in my own defence, I did recognise and admit to my hijackings and tried to mitigate the damage by creating a thread of my own.

Oh, don't quote him, he's a dick...
