Oh, how history could have been changed.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

That reminds me of Stalin shortly after the German invasion. Apparently he disappeared to his dacha, completely overwhelmed and withdrawn. Beria and others showed up at his door shortly thereafter and Stalin fully expected them being there to arrest his ass and execute him. Then he realized they were there with hats in hand to beg him to command them. From that point forward, he realized rule with an iron grip was something Russia wanted, badly.

If they WERE there to arrest and execute him, I wonder how things would have panned out in the war thereafter.

Great story, Bes. Thanks.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Thanks for posting, besilarius.

I remember reading quite a while ago that Lenin himself was robbed at gunpoint and the bandits didn't care who he was.

In Soviet Russia Lenin robs you!
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Stalin did a lot of bungling in 1941, but increasingly took his generals advice as the war went on. I think there would be more upside to Stalin gone in '41, because you really can't do much worse. On the other hand, Stalin learned from his early mistakes.
