#1 First, madcap military exercises, to be followed by zany cruise missle attacks??? Then wacky parchute drops??? Followed by the kooky overthrow of Dear Leader.

Works for me.

#2 *holds up card* 6.2 A truly abysmal performance, totally ruined by the admission of seriously rattled nerves.

#3 Madcap military exercises? Are they having pie fights over there? How many GI's can you fit in a Humvee? Just watch the running amuck stuff, okay.

#4 Madcap? I never got to participate in any Madcap exercises! When did the Military start have fun exercises with cool names? I bet this one is with paintballs, beer, and a side trip to visit the juice girls. I can see the North Korean 'News' hasn't changed a bit. Next week they will say that "the military destroyed X number of crops, killed X number of people, and raped X number of women. Oh and by the way the exercise was a total failure." Maybe the Iraqi Minister can move to Pyongyang?

#5 Madcap - that's where you turn your hat around and pretend to be an aussie for the duration of the brawl, I think...

Or is it 'tother way round?

#6 Missed his grip by admitting having rattled nerves; poor style with a serious lack of frothing and foaming at the mouth; failed to display mandatory "juche" and "army first" dance moves; finished with a weak dismount..."well advised to have a proper option with discretion"

* holds up card* 5.4

#7 Hmmmmmm. Sounds like somebody just got the after-action report from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Wonder how long it will take until he can stop writing from the thunderstool?

#8 *bows to watcher* Excellent analysis. I felt, the moment I hit the button, that I was too generous...
