| Too bad. I'll provide the answer now. It's a Victory Class Corvette of the Royal Singapore Navy. Great little ship. This is my last post for a few months. Time to take a ship and go exploring. Everyone have a good summer and keep the dirty side down. See you in the fall. Keep the faith and keep the ... |

| Wal-Mart has a rather interesting history. It isn't the same outfit that Sam Walton started and grew. From the first store in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 to the naming of David Glass as president in 1988, Wal-Mart was a fairly good corporate citizen and employer. Wages were better than the average in t... |

Nate_7 Nate_7: As for the ship, could it be the Saudi La Fayette-class ship...?
Not a La Fayette, and it's not Saudi. Just for info, the Saudi navy has regular hull numbers on their ships.
By the way... a La Fayette is one sexy machine. |

Major If he was Air Force... Hey you. Don't know an A.K. Wong.... I don't think. He didn't happen to be a doctor, ... |

Scape Scape: Looks similar to an Ageis but I suspect it is Israeli. Name this base
Not Israeli, but a good guess all the same.
As for the base: (drum roll) Area 51, Groom Lake |

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.59
That's a bit of a surprize. I'm getting more tolerant in my old age. A little right of Ghandi on the economic scale and we're nearly holding hands on the social scale. |

| I see the RCMP carried out a couple of arrests from the Farley Mowat. I didn't gather whether they had arrested the vessel or just a couple of the wanks who call themselves "crew". Watson also got the company wrong on the Titanic. It was a White Star Liner; not Cunard. He's been told before that he ... |
