18:57:14 From Teacher Lee : Are you able to hear me? 18:59:52 From Teacher Lee : Make a bullet list of points to talk about. 19:00:40 From Diana Yarmolinska : McWatt 19:00:45 From Teacher Lee : McWatt (muk WATT) 19:01:14 From Teacher Lee : Milo (MY lo) 19:01:52 From Teacher Lee : Arfy 19:02:26 From Teacher Lee : rejected his off 19:02:33 From Teacher Lee : rejected his offer 19:02:53 From Teacher Lee : soap flakes in the mashed potatoes 19:03:16 From Teacher Lee : bedsheet 19:06:06 From Diana Yarmolinska : Milo had rigid scruples that would not even allow him to borrow a package of pitted dates from the mess hall that day of McWatt’s stolen bedsheet, for the food at the mess hall was all still the property of the government. 19:06:21 From Teacher Lee : strict morality 19:06:50 From Teacher Lee : extremely honest 19:07:00 From Vasanth : t 19:08:50 From Teacher Lee : paroxysm = outburst of emotion, like a temper tantrum 19:09:02 From Teacher Lee : an uneven mustache 19:09:43 From Teacher Lee : Milo’s mustache was “off-colored”. 19:10:30 From Vasanth : c 19:10:36 From Teacher Lee : He was always tugging at his mustache. 19:11:11 From Jörgen Olsson : twitching 19:12:43 From Teacher Lee : twitch is a slight muscle spasm on the face usually 19:13:12 From Vasanth : Milo’s mustache was unfortunate because the separated halves never matched. They were like Milo’s disunited eyes, which never looked at the same thing at the same time. Milo could see more things than most people, but he could see none of them too distinctly. In contrast to his reaction to news of the C.I.D. man, he learned with calm courage from Yossarian that Colonel Cathcart had raised the number of missions to fifty-five. 19:13:26 From Teacher Lee : MUS tash 19:13:38 From Diana Yarmolinska : Milo’s mustache was unfortunate because the separated halves never matched. They were like Milo’s disunited eyes, which never looked at the same thing at the same time. Milo could see more things than most people, but he could see none of them too distinctly. In contrast to his reaction to news of the C.I.D. man, he learned with calm courage from Yossarian that Colonel Cathcart had raised the number of missions to fifty-five. 19:14:10 From Teacher Lee : Milo was cross-eyed. 19:15:13 From Vasanth : Crime Investigation Department 19:22:40 From Vasanth : c 19:23:24 From Teacher Lee : Career path in the military 19:23:42 From Teacher Lee : the brig 19:24:14 From Teacher Lee : the psycho ward 19:24:39 From Teacher Lee : promoted 19:24:42 From Teacher Lee : up the ranks 19:25:19 From Teacher Lee : they discriminated against him for not being a communist by giving him remote assignments 19:26:16 From Diana Yarmolinska : Ordinarily, Yossarian’s pilot was McWatt, who, shaving in loud red, clean pajamas outside his tent each morning, was one of the odd, ironic, incomprehensible things surrounding Yossarian. McWatt was the craziest combat man of them all probably, because he was perfectly sane and still did not mind the war. He was a short-legged, wide-shouldered, smiling young soul who whistled bouncy show tunes continuously and turned over cards with sharp snaps when he dealt at blackjack or poker until Hungry Joe disintegrated into quaking despair finally beneath their cumulative impact and began ranting at him to stop snapping the cards. 19:29:58 From Teacher Lee : cumulative = more and more incrementally 19:30:35 From Jörgen Olsson : increasing by successive additions? 19:31:29 From Vasanth : shaving in loud red? 19:31:49 From Teacher Lee : red pajamas 19:32:02 From Teacher Lee : loud = very bright 19:32:36 From Jörgen Olsson : blind your eyes? 19:33:08 From Teacher Lee : bouncy = energetic 19:33:36 From Teacher Lee : lecher 19:33:51 From Teacher Lee : a lecher = dirty old man 19:34:06 From Teacher Lee : Milo went white 19:34:17 From Vasanth : pale 19:34:49 From Teacher Lee : This is Captain Yossarian, sir,” said Corporal Snark with a superior smirk. Corporal Snark was an intellectual snob who felt he was twenty years ahead of his time and did not enjoy cooking down to the masses. “He has a letter from Doc Daneeka entitling him to all the fruit and fruit juices he wants.” “What’s this?” cried out Yossarian, as Milo went white and began to sway. “This is Lieutenant Milo Minderbinder, sir,” said Corporal Snark with a derisive wink. 19:36:17 From Teacher Lee : derisiver 19:36:24 From Teacher Lee : deride , derisive 19:36:43 From Teacher Lee : de RICE ive 19:37:02 From Teacher Lee : cook down to the masses 19:37:45 From Teacher Lee : corrugate
