Hey, at least the RSVs aren't humping my leg anymore. That was always awkward during the pre-flight briefing.
Interesting piece of trivia. What is termed 'briefing' in America, in Britain is called 'pantsing'.
Bunnies frighten me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
heh. In the US, pantsing is pulling someone else's pants down.

Oddly, when I was in school at the University of York, "pants" were what I called "underpants," "trousers" were what I called "pants", and "briefs" were called "Y-fronts." Ironically, "pantsing" was known as "debagging," because on-board the Galactica, "debagging" means no longer being involved with Kara Thrace, who rivals Samsonite for sheer volume of luggage possessed.
Nevertheless, in my briefings, we pilots are pants-less.

Please put some pants on, Mr. Adama. How would it look if some future race found our dessicated corpses out here, and you weren't wearing any pants?
That is no way to represent the last 50,000 humans in the Universe.

Better the pilots than the Quorum.
And certainly, being pantsless would assume being beltless. In your plan.

Fable 2 is eating my life. Right now I am sulking because I thought that if I dyed my hair black and wore all black, I'd get an achievement (The Goth). But, nothing.
Maybe the stupid halo that I can't get rid of is ruining it.

The Fable games sound like so much fun. Someday, I will have a game platform. Perhaps I can try Fable 2 while I am housesitting for PK & ND over the summer.
Also possibly some GTA4

If you do, let me know - there are co-op possibilities.

You can definitely play Fable 2 and/or GTA4 this summer, Sean. I think you'll love it.
I also just started playing Assassin's Creed.

I have orders; Boomer and Apollo pass on interrupts. Still waiting to hear from the Admiral.

Ok, time's up on interrupts. Adama fires on the basestar. I have Excel files to handle the decks and such like, but if there's a chance to roll a die we're doing it old school.
t rolls die
Result:
6. Hit!
Damage Token:
Disabled Hangar. This basestar may no longer launch raiders or heavy raiders.
Next up is the Crisis Card. However, I forgot to allow Boomer to use her Recon ability at the end of last turn, so we'll pause to catch up with that. I've sent Boomer the top card of the Crisis Deck. She will decide whether to place it on the top or the bottom of the deck. Then, Admiral Adama's crisis will be the top card.
