Just in the NIck of Time

My Frontier Thesis said...: Again, we see a journalistic story lacking historical context of any sort. Everyone knows that before any frontal assault on a fortified German machine gun nest, you always ask yourself: WWLKD? ("What Would Lord Kitchener Do?") Then you scream some mumbo jumbo about Queen and Country and launch yourself into mustard gas, barbed wire, and toward the pointy pickle-spear helmets.

Anyhow, these men who were executed could have used some learnings from Harry Flashman, the most courageous whore-mongering coward in all of Britaindom, decorated several times over by the Crown and nobles of mutiple countries. If you haven't scanned MacDonald Fraser's series yet, it comes highly recommended by the Irish Dogg and myself. Use it to decompress, or whatever.; 11/07/2006 9:28 PM

My Frontier Thesis said...: Fuck the Franc and Brit method -- we'll throw 'em into a snake pit, sort of Ragnarr Loðbrók and Northumbrian style, circa 9th century AD. In true Vikingarna, however, one must think about what one will say just prior to death. That's how the people will remember you: screaming to Mama (like a pussy), or promising offspring vengence as you willingly dive into the serpentine doom.

...if only we could get contemporary Western leaders to respond accordingly to jihad provocations.; 11/08/2006 12:10 AM

This one time, I would even wear a scottish skirt.
He just resigned though - a good start.; 11/08/2006 1:52 PM
