Mugabe commandeers Air Zim plane to Rome (And can't pay for refueling)

New Zimbabwe ^ | 17 Oct 2005

"Mugabe and his entourage flew into a political storm in Rome Saturday where he was invited by the United Nations. The United States said it was "amazed" by the UN agencies' decision to invite the 81-year-old leader who is banned from travel throughout the European Union, although he can attend UN events. "

Yea but he's one of our own!....the UN

[MaryFromMichigan]

Sounds like fun!
Count me in.

Yee HA! How about you, wizardoz? Backtrack and see what I'm up to.

INVASION OF ZIMBABWE, DAY EIGHT

*Still* in Buffalo, NY -- Stuttering Stu found his sweater!!!

Stu wouldn't leave for this war until he found his Lucky Sweater. I'm not sure why he thinks it's lucky -- it's got old vomit stains on it and he sure hasn't been lucky in his entire life (except for that one Take Five lotto ticket where he won $25.00). He claims he wore it in Vietnam, but he's only 37 years old. That'd have had him in 'Nam when he was 6 years old. I suppose it's possible. His draft number might have come up.

We're all trying to figure out how to get to Zimbabwe from Buffalo. Pablo #2 offered this: "Just sneak across dee border, mon." I had to tell him that the border -- the Atlantic Ocean -- is a little moist.

The addition of General Flyer has GREATLY increased our arsenal. We might even be able to give each troop a firearm now!

I'm applying to the Salvation Army for bus tickets to New York City. Perhaps we can get to Zimbabwe easier if we get there.

Hopefully,

Laz

Sir:

I did a practice run with the Diplomatic Pouch. I entered Skay's Chevron yesterday at 1830 hours with the Diplomatic Pouch in my possession, purchased a six pack of Miller High Life and departed the store. The contents of the Diplomatic Pouch were never compromised.

(I don't have any handcuffs, so I have attached the Diplomatic Pouch to my wrist with heavy duty cable ties)

[Lazamataz]

You will make a fine cash smuggler diplomat.

[SauronOfMordor]

I would not be surprised if the EU banned Air Zimbabwe from flying in their airspace soon. They have done this with other such airlines that do not conform with the minimum standards of aircraft maintenance. I fear that it is going to take a crash for this prohibition to be imposed.

Better yet, any Air Zim plane that lands in EU gets impounded and sold off to pay for outstanding fuel debts

[jslade]

These people are incapable of self rule. They were better off under colonialism.

[netmilsmom]

Please add me to the Zimbabwe Invasion ping list.

My eight year old, my five year old and I volunteer to make body bags for the enemy (when you get there)

Oh, and we might be able to send my hubby's BB gun with BB's.
I have to ask.

It was also used in battle as it took out a mean BlueJay when West Nile was in our state.

[Lazamataz]

A side-benefit of putting my invasion updates on this thread is that it will regularly bump a very embarrassing incident for Zimbabwe.

That was an accident. I promise. ;^)

[Terabitten]

Count me in, too, Laz.

I'll provide psyops - bone crushingly loud heavy metal music, sung in various far eastern languages, with accompanying Helen Thomas videos. They'll crack in mere moments.

[toddlintown]

Not one mention of the Pope in the entire article, says U.N. invite, and you ask that question?

[Lazamataz]

My army grows daily.

INVASION OF ZIMBABWE, DAY TEN

*Still* in Buffalo, NY -- The Salvation Army will be helping with bus tickets to New York City, except for the illegal aliens. The Pablo Platoon will need to find another way, it appears. They needed identification, and none of them has any documentation at all.

Stu has discovered Network Marketing, and says we can all get rich on Amway. He wants me to invest $159.99 on a Amway Startup Package, but I'm finding it difficult to believe a 37 year old homeless guy with no teeth and bad breath will be successful selling Amway door to door. He says he'd hit the interstate off-ramps instead, with a sign saying "Will sell Amway for food". It's hard keeping him focused on the invasion of Zimbabwe.

The Mounties are drunk again. We need an air force for our invasion, but all they could come up with is a flying squirrel. I suppose it will at least avoid detection by radar.

We got a nice block of government cheese, and some donated bread from a free food pantry. We're eating like kings -- provided the kings are rulers of destitute countries, that is.

Wistfully,

Laz

[cjshapi]

Processed cheese food....doesn't get much better than that.

[Lazamataz]

How do you say "Yummy" in Spanish?

Cuz the Mexicans keep on spitting out a phrase angrily, and I can only assume they are saying "Yummy".

[cjshapi]

Sorry, I can't help you there. My struggle with spanish classes nearly kept me from graduating from PSU.

Are they smiling when they say it? Giving you a thumbs up? If they're using a different digit they may not be so happy.

I had to cut off the cable-tie securing the Diplomatic Pouch to my wrist because, well, let's just say it wasn't practical for hygiene reasons.

Meanwhile, to keep my Diplomatic Courier skills honed, as I was paying my utility bills at Ace Cash Express, I asked the lady at the counter to open the Pouch. She refused to even touch it, she was so intimidated.

[Lazamataz]

You forgot to run PGP on the above missive. It was there for all to see.

Bad diplomat, no immunity.

[Guenevere]

I'm ready to sign up now...
...need to get away.
