Ah. Very good, Pradmiralissimojolator, sir.

And of course, I don't have any interrupts with which to interrupt.

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

You know, DNA analysis has led to a theory that the closest land-based relatives of the whales are hippos. They call it the Whippo Hypothesis.

By which I mean to say, bury it. In Whale.

El Hippo may have gone off the deep end when he sprayed all that water.

In any case, his burying of that card means you get the next one in the deck, which is, a Cylon Attack!

Namely, the dreaded Thirty Three.

Details in an email to come. Also to come, the turn summary, since there is no action to be taken for this crisis.

And she just can't hide it!

No, seriously, their spine does this glowy thing, it's pretty disturbing.

Cards to be sent to El Hippo stat. Note: Adama, you now stand at 14 cards and you may need to discard at the end of your turn to get below 11. To continue the Christopher Guest theme: "Yours doesn't go to 11."

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

In the midst of dealing to El Hippo, Tactics (purple) was depleted and reshuffled.

Orders!

Move to the President's Office
Compare its current inhabitant to selected members of the family Mustelidae, namely, the rare yellow long-haired weasel
Play an XO-1 on the Chief

So this is the President's Office, eh? I could get used to this.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Sheesh!

Okay, this is the embriggening, right? This time I will wait to get Helo's opinion, make sure we're all on this page at this time.

Well, either way, for my first action I play my Y2 to consolidate power and draw one purple and one green.

Then I pause.
