THE WEEKLY COW QUOTE! (ok then)
"Cow dung and horse dung, as muck goes, are relatively agreeable. You can even become nostalgic about them. They smell of fermented grain, and on the far side of their smell there is hay and grass."
John Berger (b. 1926), British author, critic. Muck and Its Entanglements, in Harper's (New York, May 1989; repr. in Keeping a Rendezvous, as "A Load of Shit," 1992).
Uh...what? That's rather disgusting! This guy is nostalgic about poop? He must've been dipping his nose in a couple of other things, too!
NEW THUNDER PATCH!
COL Manitsas was kind enough to create a squadron patch for us Thunder people, and we didn't even have to ask! The new patches show off our beloved mascot, Jaegar the Kangaroo! There are two versions, both are attached to this mail.
LCM KRAX TARNISAR ABANDONS US!
Krax was offered the position of Spear Squadron CMDR in Wing IX. He accepted it. But I'm not going to wish him luck because he certainly won't need any. The rest of us poor slobs need all we can get (i.e. me). :P
Any recruiting you want to do would be helpful, by the way.
Arrivals - none
Departures - LCM Krax --> CMDR of Spear

SQUADRON STATUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now battling Zayin squadron of Wing IV aboard the Sovereign. Fly FREETIE 137 (made by me!) before Feb 9. This is a short mission (you're more likely to get more bonus goals the faster you complete the goals), so you don't have an excuse not to fly it. The highest scorer in each squadron gets an Iron Star: Copper Ribbon. That equals an extra FCHG point. You can get 4 points from one mission if you get the high score. So now you have -1 excuses not to fly. The mission is also attached.
TO FLIGHT LEADERS: Don’t forget to tell me what you’ve decided about your flight mottos and nicknames. (Does anyone read this part?)
