This is not Pixies oriented, but an incredible case of multiple ineptitudes.

My local news service has come up with this gem.

MI5 files reveal bungled Nazi mission to US
Posted 9 hours 45 minutes ago

A Nazi submarine mission to the United States during World War II ended in farce after being hit by a series of disasters, newly-released files show.

The Germans planned to bomb roads, railways and factories during Operation Pastorius in June 1942, according to the files from Britain's MI5 domestic intelligence agency.

But even before it got under way the plot descended into a farce worthy of a comedy film.

One of the saboteurs, Herbert Haupt, got drunk in a Paris bar after a farewell dinner and declared to his drinking companions that he was a spy.

When the submarine arrived in the US, it ran aground on a sandbar as it dropped off the four agents on the coast of Long Island, New York.

A US coastguard discovered the Germans as they buried their supplies on the beach - but he was given $300 and persuaded to leave the men alone.

In a report on the mission, Victor Rothschild, head of MI5's counter-espionage division, wrote: "It was only owing to the laziness or stupidity of the American coastguards that this submarine was not attacked by USA forces".

The plot was only foiled when the leader of the spies, George Dasch, rang up the FBI, announced he was a saboteur and demanded to speak to the bureau's then-director, J Edgar Hoover.

His confession was initially dismissed but after a lengthy interview he was arrested and his fellow agents were rounded up, the files showed.

Despite the clumsiness of the mission, MI5 still regarded it as a serious threat.

"This sabotage expedition was better equipped with sabotage apparatus and better trained than any other expeditions of which the security service has heard," Mr Rothschild wrote.

Still looking. I'm sure there's something.

Check the far corner.

I am an excellent cook..........and a lousy singer(and I love to sing) :o

Look under the bed or chair...... :p

How about looking under your skirt? I'm good at looking under skirts.

OTOH, I am terrible at looking inside men's pants.

I love to cook and bake. I love to be artsy fartsy. But I take the art of procrastination to a whole new level :) lol. I am a good listener.

I am horrible at starting housework, especially dishes and laundry.

I think I'm pretty good at looking past the peripheral items that tend to distract one from the main issue. I tend to go after the disease that causes the issues rather than address symptoms.

I forget. EVERYTHING! If I don't write it down, I'll forget to do it. I can remember facts, but never things to do.

Mr. Lil used to keep a post it note in his wallet that said , "pick up kids" :p

I hope he's not still using it. Could be embarassing. :)

Talent: I can execute like no one's business...I swear I could single handedly run a ground war from 6k miles away, if we ever needed a general with no military experience :p

Failure: I suck at anything that requires mental visualization...rotating figures in space ala IQ tests, putting together puzzles, building models, navigating without a map. I am completely unable to do any of these activities.

I'm a Chemical Engineer and Organic Chemistry almost flunked me out. Srsly.

Edit: Regarding that ground war...I'd delegate the responsibility of navigating to the enemy :p

Does this mean that you've delegated the task to the enemy, or someone will guide you to the enemy?

Enquiring pedants wish to know.

I'm good at finding my way ... but then forget why I was going there. :shrug:

:(

I'd need another note that says "check your wallet". lol

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, that was a bit ambiguous. I'd delegate to one of you lovely people who seems to have a clue. ;)

:) Us?

But Osuche, dare we hope the enemy is in your pant?

Would they be yoga pants?

Ommmm thinking about that one.

I've got another weakness: my back.
