After consulting with close Plats associates @Magua @landsbergfan and @TB87 the Plats would like to introduce everyone to our franchise attack vehicle:

Good morning.

Hopefully that font is large enough.

After the f***ing Windows update stopped tommygunning pigeon diarrhea into my laptop, we start the day with @CanadianFlyer88 on the clock, @Young Sandwich on deck, and @Hollywood Couturier on the lido deck. CF88 is on the Left Coast, YS is a huge pervert, and HC is going to be spending time sending me a PM, so be patient this morning.

Luckily there is no BE A F***ING FLYER shit tonight, so we can chug martinis all day and just choose like a motherf***er. Oh, and no naming names.

Vacation spot

Bay Lake, FL

I thought I remembered reading there was a pretty notable tourist destination in this little town for guests to come visit, but it's escaping my mind...

In any case, our official vacation spot is Bay Lake. The town, and certainly not any specific location or destination within it.

@DancingPanther
The owners of my franchise have some great tips for when you go on vacation if you ever need any.

If I’m in a foreign country and I’m hungry, and international chain is going to be the last place I eat.
This is like going to Italy and getting Pizza Hut. You could have gone to a place and gotten a burger made from wagyu beef. But noooo, you needed to get a baconator.

Eating only chain fast food in a foreign city is ridiculous but it is a nice change of pace. We ate McDonald's in Rome, amidst incredible meals of heavenly pasta and flat-dough pizza and remarkable dishes from amazing Asian restaurants. The contrast is what was neat, and we (who had never traveled outside of North America before this trip) were giggly about sitting in a McDonald's in Italy.

Another sentimental pick for the Sentimental Seattle Sockeyes.

My grandfather was a pilot for the US Air Force (well, its equivalent) in WW2, stationed in the UK. He was late to join combat, originally serving as a training pilot in the Midwest. After two trainees (in separate incidents) almost killed him due to incompetence, he requested a transfer to a combat zone so that he could be killed by an enemy and not an ally. :laugh:

The above anecdote was the only war story he ever told me. Like most WW2 vets, he was reluctant to talk about his actual service, so I also do not know which aircraft he piloted.

However, through my own research, I narrowed down some options and, with the help of @Beef Invictus, have chosen the P-51 Mustang as our team's single pilot attack vehicle. The fighter was used either by my grandfather or by those who served with him at the time and in the European region, so we're honoured to be associated with it.

They really are beauts, too. I don't have any connection to any of them, but the Mustang, the Spitfire, the REDACTED, the REDACTED, and several others from that time period are among my favorite real-life aircraft.

It's also kind of interesting to see the different cultural changes. Getting a beer with a Big Mac in a German McDonalds, for instance.

Though we're pretty sure no one has this noodle dish on their list, we can't be positive at this point and thus need to attack while the boiled water is still hot. Last thing we need is to be caught with our pants down so that team of tiny mammals can attack our sexual behavioral integrity even more.

This dish is something I would gladly eat on the daily. For me, it sits firmly at the top of the table among all of the more popular Asian noodle soup dishes. People are sheep and will eat what everyone tells them to rather than branching out a bit. This branch is worth it and then some. I implore you to give it a go if you haven't yet.

Simple, incredibly flavorful, and filling, the Northern Thai version is a soup-like dish made with a mix of various spices, deep-fried crispy egg noodles and boiled egg noodles, pickled mustard greens, crispy shallots, lime, ground chillies fried in oil, and meat (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, fish, etc.) in a curry-like sauce containing coconut milk.

The Las Vegas Desert Ducks are proud to select as their Team Attack Vehicle... Death Saurer, which is likely something that only two or so of you have ever heard of. For those that have you're good people and I appreciate you.

For those that have no idea what it is it is from the anime Zoids and fittingly it is the ultimate villain throughout most of the storylines. It's based off of @Chinatown88's own Godzilla so just remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery especially since you are one of the two that are going to know what it is.

The Death Saurer has the strongest weapon in all of the anime with it's Charged Particle Cannon and also has the strongest armor. We're working on correcting it's weaknesses that absolutely no one should look up in the meantime until we get those fixed. kthx.

We thought about selecting the Mega Death Saurer which was built out of the Death Saurer's remnants but that thing kind of went wild and killed everything around it so we steered away from that. Sorry, I know, no pick tipping.

You picked something anime. I'm gonna weeb out. Also if anyone fights Cap and Luffy, make sure you have a giant buffet or you do it in water.
If anyone tries to fight Cap, Death Saurer will be there by his side.
