| #1 The Egyptian army has started pulling heavy military equipment to the center of Cairo, No boy, no! You're doin it all wrong. Look here, you move or assemble heavy military equipment in the urban center. Pay attention, boy, (he's built too low, all the good stuff going over his head) now get away from that flame-thrower, it's not meant to be pulled. I swear..... journalists theese days. /Colonel FogHornLeghorn in Charge of Now |
