(UNCLASSIFIED) - DRAFT MISSION ORDER

I. Situation: On 25 MAR 2005, the D.C. 101 radio staTion show "Elliot In The Morning" will sponsor it's annual "Easter Keg Hunt." Exactly 101 beer kegs painted like Easter eggs will be "hidden" in Maryland, Viginia and the District. People that find a keg and bring it to the Keg Redemption Party on March 25th at "Irelands 4 Provinces" at 6pm can claim a prize. Everyone who redeems a keg will get a pair of tickets to see Velvet Revolver at Merriweather Post Pavilion on MAY 21st and you’ll also be entered to win the grand prize, a trip for two to for a VIP Molson Rocks Weekend in Toronto. One keg will be painted "gold" and the finder gets a years supply of Molson Golden beer, courtesy of Molson. Must be 21 years of age.


A. Enemy Forces. Not applicable.


B. Friendly Forces. Members of www.dcsportbikes.com (.COM) and Www.dcsportbikes.net (.NET); coordinated by Magic-Rat.


II. Mission. Find and capture at least 50 of D.C. 101's Easter kegs, including the "gold" keg.


III. Execution

Intent. To capture so many kegs that our two organizations (.COM & .NET) get interviewed by Elliot on his radio show; providing the opportunity to capture the hearts & minds of all sportbikers in the Virginia, Maryland, and District listening area.

A. Concept of the Operation: We will assemble at Starbucks in Rockville in our cars/trucks at 0400 on 25 APR 2005 to coordinate our final effort. After a 30 minute briefing, we will break up into 6 teams: Task Force North, Task Force South, Task Force East, Task Force West, Task Force D.C., and Task Force "Stealth." Using mobile phone communications, we will coordinate our efforts to find Easter Kegs and locate the vehicles dispatching the kegs. Locating the vehicles that dispatch the kegs is considered a high payoff activity. All keg findings will be reported to the command post for statistical map analysis. At 1100, all Task Forces will return to our rally point at Starbucks in Rockville where we will coordinate transportation of our captured kegs to a secret storage facility located in the vicinity of Woodbridge.

1. Maneuver: Not later than 0430, All Task Forces will begin to conduct reconiassance operations in their assigned sectors looking for kegs and vehicles dispatching the kegs. Task Force Stealth is responsible for reconniasance of the D.C. 101 radio station parking and will attempt to identify keg dispatch vehicles leaving the studio area. Task Force Stealth will also serve as the strategic reserve, responding to "surge" operations where a high volume of kegs have been located.

B. Tasks to Maneuver Units.

1. Task Force North. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order. Your sector runs from *** to ****. Map to be published.

2. Task Force East. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order.Your sector runs from *** to ****. Map to be published.

3. Task Force South. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order.Your sector runs from *** to ****. Map to be published.

4. Task Force West. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order.Your sector runs from *** to ****. Map to be published.

5. Task Force D.C.. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order.Your sector runs from *** to ****. Map to be published.

6. Task Force Stealth. Your task force leader will be identified in an update to this order. You will not attend the 0400 coordination briefing at Starbucks; instead, you will proceed directly to the D.C. 101 radio studio parking lot at 0400 to begin covert reconiassance. It is very important that your presence is not discovered by the keg hunt organizers, as this could have adverse impact on our operation. Follow on instructions will come from the command post. Map to be published.


C. Tasks to Combat Support Units. Task Force participants must bring cell phones and one map per car.


D. Coordinating Instructions. Contact Magic-rat via PM if you have questions.

IV. Service Support. Bring your own coffee and donuts. Abide by all traffic rules and be careful stopping on busy roads.

V. Command & Signal. We will synchronize watches and distribute phone numbers at our 0400 coordination briefing, except for Task Force Stealth. I will distribute numbers to them.

Highlights:

- We got 3 as of Noon (RiverLuv, R6Dink, & Budda_79).

- Sharkbait and his girlfriend missed the Golden Keg by about 50 ft and 10 seconds.

- RiverLuv, Dink, and I were all on the radio. The name DCSportbikes got some good coverage.

- One of the radio stations guys wrecked his car (hit a sign & hydrant) ... and I came along about an hour after and took pics and a video ... which contradict his "story" ... I told Elliot about it on the air. I gonna send him a movie (and you guys).

- We gotta meet at 4 C's tonight at 19:00. I gonna go on my own ... but if you go, I think you should wear a bike jacket to try to make us look like we are together. When I was on the air, I asked Elliot for 12 T-Shirts for my "crew" ... he said, "Come to 4-P's tonight and we'll see what we can do."

Molson? I thought you said those kegs were filled with beer.

(Insert Candian-beer flame war here.)

Molson is Moose Pee.

Drink Kokanee, a REAL Canadian Beer! :cool:

Kokanee is a Pilsner Style Lager with 5.0% alcohol v/v. Kokanee is brewed in Kootenay's of B.C. by the Columbia Brewery. It is B.C.'s most popular beer and contains no preservatives and is aged naturally.

Mmm! It sounds wonderful. I'll keep my eye out for it.

Having a German family, I've grown up to enjoy beer and wine as a normal part of life. I think it's odd how in the U.S. there are socioeconomic and sexist expectations when it comes to the consumption of beer and wine. Related to socioecomics, beer is seen as a low-brow alcoholic beverage whereas wine is elevated to a high-brow status. Related to sexism, there is societal pressure for men to drink beer and women to drink wine. It was so nice living in Germany for a while, where those expectations no longer applied. :)

Of course, because I'm living for two now the point of what I can and can't drink is moot. :p

Konanee is high end moose pee!

If you live in BC drink Okanagan Springs and Granville Island in all their lovely varieties of lager and ale. If you don't live in BC and can't get these brands, drink moose pee because I have no idea what local breweries to recommend.

Let the beer flames progress.

:D

PS Molsen is total moose pee but I do like their nationalistic commercials. Hey, weren't they bought out by an American company?
