"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Lord Alfred Tennyson

Cool picture. I had a big old red tailed hawk sitting on a branch in my maple tree last summer and a little bitty pine squirrel kept running up to it and chattering until the hawk flew away. Mean little bugger. Or maybe suicidal.
You missed the obvious, taminator, woman on her period.
Slowly backs out of room.........
Putin the eagle, Obama the squirrel. Crimea.

I prefer to see it as Obama the squirrel and the eagle is the awakened American Patriot.
Your the one that posted the poem about the Crimean war. Russia won that battle but ended up loosing the war, if I remember correctly.

Woman on her period? I said that the squirrel was mean, not totally, psychotically insane.....
Aaannnd, you're banned.
Who's banned?
taminator. He knew what he was doing.
I think this works almost as well:
Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods.
from "Horatius" by Thomas Babington Macaulay
Daaaammmmnn. Chris got all poetical and shit! That actually works better. Thank you, darlin'.
I finally succeeded in getting banned. Now I guess I'll have time to get up and do some work around the house instead of spending every minute of my day waiting with bated breath for Angel to update her blog so that I can partake of her beautiful and insightful prose............
Outstanding Taminator
West TX, do I need to send your ass to the Naughty Corner, too?
