Barn Army Video

Morning Report

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.

  1. 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.

  16. I'm pretty sure DuToit is #44.

    I'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.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yup, me <== #29

    I 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 ;-)

  30. Was that the Boer army Kim? We'll have to find you some new duds though, more befitting a man of your talent.

  32. Rodger, 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.

    Bombbay doors open.
