Royal General G.T. 'Catfish' Sherman made another move in his quest to defeat all forces in the Balkan regions. After declaring Serbia an indepedent area, under the benevolent protection of Lord Czar Blowfish, and after removing the drunken Austrians that inhabited the area, Gen. Sherman then made plans to continue with the destruction of the Austrian Empire. (St. Petersburg)- Northern units on patrol Recent movements in the Northern fleets were reported as being 'routine naval maneouvers' by the Navy. Sources say that the collapse of the English government was seen as 'a bad sign' and that the maneuouvers were meant as a show of russian strength. (Sevastopol)- Blackie Eats Bride While on a sightseeing tour of the Black Sea area, the daughter of Lord Czar Blowfish, promised in marriage to the Sultan of Turkey, was eaten by 'Blackie', the now infamous Black Sea Monster. Both Lord Czar Blowfish and the Sultan were deeply saddened by this event, even prompting the Sultan to make an honorary visit to Mecca, to pray for the deceased. Also from the Black Sea area, reports of French and German attempts to have the ex-leader of England eaten by Blackie met with, unfourtunately, little success. Blackie, apparently exhibiting a rare show of taste, spit the deposed leader out when the Lord was fed to it. ************************************************************************** If you are interested in joining the fun here in Electronic Protocol, send mail to Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com including your name, home address, home phone number, work phone number, and country preferences. ************************************************************************** * // Only /\ Lord Zar,Commander Of All He Surveys * *\\ // /--\MIGA (and hater of spaces near commas.) * * \X/ Internet: lord_zar@ucrmath.ucr.edu QuantumLink & Portal: Lord_Zar * * "The only good long .signature is a dead one!" --Me (The new,shorter .sig!) * Up
