| “ | Here's the updated Barn Army Kids Shoot film, but without the kids. In other words, just the Barn Army.
The first go-around missed about a half-dozen people, due to
sloppy record keeping by my adjutant, Major Secretary Bunns
(#28). This time, every member has a number, which facilitates
guessing who is who? If the guesser happens to also be the
guessee, then we have validation, otherwise I am not responsible if,
say, Kim du Toit says he's number 34, when he's not.
The Kids Day at the Barn video is also updated.
Let's begin.
The King of France, and Archbishop of Canterbury is #22. A lot of
people ask, Hey Rodge, why did the King of France fight for the
Yankees? Well, it was a tough call. The CSA had the legal,
and slavery not withstanding, moral authority to secede. On the other
hand, I was not native to any of the Confederate states, so I felt it
was my obligation to fight, not so much for Lincoln, as against the
Democrat party who were undermining him at every corner. I hate
liars and traitors, and Democrats were the traitors, during that
conflict, not the Confederates. Now here's something you didn't
know.
After Lee surrendered his Army, at Appomattox, I met with Lincoln with
this proposal. We keep the vanquished South under arms, and
restore full citizenship if they will join us in waging war on
Democrats led by that traitorous scoundrel George B. McClellan.
Lincoln agreed, but was tragically assassinated before my commission as
Chief General in Charge was made official. Nearly a century later,
General George S. Patton, Jr., having read my memoirs, made the same
proposal to Eisenhower in regard the German army, and filthy
commies. Little did he know that FDR's closest advisors
were Democrats, and they squashed it.
Carry on.

I wont say the Barn Army is shaping up, because that implies it was in need of something. Like cream rising to the top, in times of need the true Patriots will surface, do what needs to be done, and they fade back quietly. Im glad I'm on this side, cause its a fearsome lot when riled.

Cool Juice. You got me. Hey Rog, I, for one, wouldn't mind putting some names to those faces.

MM, it was the stained glass that led me to suspect. ;)
ReplyDeleteNot bad Juice. Seventeen of your twenty-nine were correct, or 26% of the total. .
ReplyDeleteJuice cheated. She's met me.

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure DuToit is #44.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see Acidman (may he rest in peace)an honorary member of the Barn Army.
I recognized Denny (GOC) but couldn't remember his number.
Finding me was easy.
I'm the fuzzy face at #36

ReplyDeleteBack up one for me, Juice...
I probably should send him a different pic.....
Yup, me <== #29
ReplyDeleteI dunno why Rodger didn't use the original pic I sent him. Instead I'm now a member of the Australian cricket team--which is #1 in the world so I'll take that ;-)
Rodge, I think Cuchieddie is gonna get involved around here. He does frequent recons and laughs....hard.
ReplyDeleteFunny guy.
Stepperg
Hell I must be Rodgers longest fan. Been hanging around for 8 maybe 9 years. Others have come and gone but Rodg is still here--as am I ;-)

ReplyDeleteReal men don't give a rat's ass about numbers. Just don't make it longer than my old Army number -- in fact, I'll just go by my old Army number anyway.
ReplyDeleteWas that the Boer army Kim? We'll have to find you some new duds though, more befitting a man of your talent.
ReplyDeleteI'm number thirteen, I'm the only 61 year old Lance Corporal in the world.
ReplyDeleteRodger, after being offline for almost two months, I get broadband today and I am promptly greeted with this post. You're still nuts I see, and yes, I'm flattered, flummoxed and flatulated. 33 huh? I like it.
ReplyDeleteBombbay doors open.
