Piddler's Green

A story that needs tellin'. There's a wide place on the road to Hell where warriors stop to sit a spell to wet their whistle and rest a bit before Satan rings the closing bell, they then ruck up and go to Hell. This place is called Fiddler’s Green. Some clever Sergeant built a bar, then stuck the bell inside a jar. Then working with a clever Warrant, they sucked the air out in a torrent. No one can hear that cursed bell. Now warriors never go to Hell. They rest and wait at Fiddler’s...

4th Annual "Celebrate the Second on the Fourth" at Castle Argghhh!

If you're a friend of the Master and Mistress of Castle Argghhh!, you're invited to celebrate the Second Amendment on the Fourth of July - apt, considering how interrelated the two things are, even if President Carter thinks the Revolution was, on balance, a bad idea.

Given that the President...

... can't remember around who's neck he hung the Medal of Honor, vice who's parents he gave it to, and the fact we're getting serious talk that the only thing wrong with the previous stimulus packages were that they weren't big enough... because that's the only possible reason the stimulus didn't work, aside from the fact we weasel bastards aren't doing our bit and just spending everything we have, this quote from Samuel Clemens resonates loudly: "Sometimes I...

Delta Airlines No-Jew Policy (A Rican's Take)

There's a Scheiße-Storm brewing regarding Delta Airline new upcoming policy of barring Jews from its international flights into Saudi Arabia. Take a good look at the third paragraph of the above letter. In it, Delta states clearly that it is complying with Saudi law in being an agent of discrimination against Jews. In other words: Don't blame us, we're just following orders. Well, that reminds me of Greyhound Bus old policy in Mississippi. Once upon a time, whenever its buses crossed...

I Will Defend My Castle, NOT

Picture this: Four masked men invade your home. Being unable to blast them with a firearm, you grab a steak-knife from your kitchen drawer, and stab one of the fiends to death. Police jump into action and promptly arrest you, and all adults in your household under suspicion of murder. Such is the sad state of affairs in the once Great Britain. Article and Video: HERE Boq

President Obama on Afghanistan...

Below are the American Forces Press Service article on the President's announcement last night, and a blurb on Secretary Gate's comments. Of course they are supportive of the official position, it's not the place of the AFPS to be anything but. At the bottom of the article is a link to the text of the President's full remarks. What I'm interested in is your thoughts on the laydown of the way forward.Mind you, I'm *not* interested in comments about "He's a tool!"...

Um, not quite, there soldier.

One of Her Majesty's finest re-enactors, going at it, hammer and tongs, showing just how fast a trained soldier could handle a flintlock - firing 3 shots in 46 seconds, though in fact he probably wouldn't be firing that way much. The true weapon of the era was the mass of troops and their bayoneted firearms, vice the individual soldier fighting as a distinct individual - at least not until the forces had closed to hand-to-hand.And he's also demonstrating some other things, if not by intent...

Welcome home, Sergeant

There ain't no justice. Sometimes, in war, you're just screwed. We're currently running an ad for a small "coupla guys in a garage" operation that riffs off the old soldier bromide of "Somewhere out there, there's a bullet with my name on it." The corollary is, "That's not the bullet you need to worry about, it's the one addressed "To whom it may concen." This is a story of that bullet. Of an air crewman who dodged the bullets with his name...

Another post for The Thomas...

Apparently today is the day where Bill and I just jump to answer reader questions posed in comments... There is no embiggenation.

"So where is BillT anyway?"

...asked The Thomas yesterday.A fair enough question, and one that presents the opportunity for a Whatziss. Or, rather, a Whereziss.Of course, in order to guess the Whatziss / Whereziss precisely, I'll have to give you some context. You guys know that I *always* give you context.Unlike John, who gives you cat hairs for scale, but no context. Behold -- context!

An odd concatenation of events...

So, yesterday Prodigal Son and Lovely D-i-L and Prodigal Grandson come visit - well, they came to visit *and* do laundry. Quite possibly just to do laundry and chow down on the standing rib roast which was my response to SWWBO's "What do you want for Father's Day?" interrogative of last week. Some things just shouldn't be looked at too closely. Prodigal Son and fam are living the life of the "recently out of college" young folk, living more and more on their own means...

Chicks! Chicks everywhere!

SWWBO had market today, so releasing the herds and flocks and tossing 'em enough food before they decided *I* was food fell to me this morning. In the Bunnery (as I call the rabbit rooms) we've had some hens roosting on one of the hutches as that sat eggs. They chose the place because it's safe from the peafowl and ducks who like eggs as much as I do - they just like 'em raw. SWWBO asserted earlier this week they had about a week to go. Uh-huh. Riiiiiiiiight.
