Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Mar 07 - 02:17 PM Mick, and a sufficient supply of whiskey. So, we'll need a big foxhole. |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Rapparee Date: 22 Mar 07 - 01:43 PM Yeah, well, Doug, there are times when I wish I didn't know so much about it.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Ebbie Date: 22 Mar 07 - 01:16 PM LOL, DougR! |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: DougR Date: 22 Mar 07 - 01:13 PM Rapaire: Man, you sure got me bested. Other than the Garand, I couldn't hit the side of a barn (.30 Caliber Carbine, Submachine gun (Grease Gun), .50 Cal., .45 Cal. Service Automatic). jacqui: If Kendall peed on me I'd just shoot him. :>) DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Peace Date: 22 Mar 07 - 11:46 AM Anne Murray gave off with a tirade years ago on live TV. T'was a beaut. Haven't listened to her since. |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Mar 07 - 11:44 AM I still wish you'd been there at the receiving end of the famous Paul Anka tirade in the early 70s, Rapaire. Just think, it would not have lasted nearly as long, and we might not have had to submit to several of those dreadful hits he had in the years following... |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Rapparee Date: 22 Mar 07 - 09:21 AM No, Ebbie. I'll put up with an awful lot before I lose my temper. A broken cookie in a package, a careless driver, a loud boor -- these don't upset me much. Unless they happen twice. Then I...I...a black curtain descends in my mind and everything goes blood red and.... I don't do anything except perhaps leave. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Mar 07 - 07:30 AM Doug - Kendall does won a gun and is a crack shot. The added advantage is that he is funny. However, he does have to pee a lot so you would have to take that into consideration! :0) |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Ebbie Date: 22 Mar 07 - 12:33 AM oooo Rapaire- you don't have a quick temper, do you? :) Somehow this subject reminds me of an activity I kept up for many years. (Not sure that I'm finished yet) I would tell myself stories - sometimes I wrote them - about various traumatic or dangerous or otherwise problematic fictional events and then see how it worked out. (Those of you who create scenarios are aware of how characters will take the bit and run, if you allow them) I had a few ground rules. For instance, I allowed myself to have some of my favorite people there, either from my own real-time life or people that I admired, but that meant that the obverse was true: I also had to insert some people who I really did not want to have to deal with. Anyway, I would set them adrift, or at a plane crash or shipwreck and sit back and "see" what happened. So, Rap- you aren't short tempered, right? |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Rapparee Date: 21 Mar 07 - 08:39 PM By the way, I really like the way the thread list reads right now: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? A Quiet Corner The prefered spot of every infantryman I ever met. |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Rapparee Date: 21 Mar 07 - 08:37 PM So did I, Doug. Also M-14, M-1 carbine, M-16A1, M-79, M-60, and the M-1911A1 pistol. And I familiarized on the LAW, 3.5" rocket launcher, .50 machine gun, M-1919A6 .30 machine gun, various mines, and the 81 mm mortar, that I remember. There were probably more. And I had training in explosives and demolitions and taught both bayonet and hand-to-hand combat. For a librarian I'm a trained killer. 8-) |

From: Rapaire - PM Date: 20 Mar 07 - 12:19 PM I've rethought my options and I'd like to share the hole with George W. Bush." Sorry Rap, he's mine. I want to use him on the edge, as a sandbag. It'll be the first job he ever had that he's fully qualified for. Don T. |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: DougR Date: 21 Mar 07 - 08:04 PM Kendall. I'm relatively sure he knows how to use a gun and if required how to use it. Gee, I'm kind of hurt. Nobody chose me and I shot Expert with the MI Garand in basic taining. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 21 Mar 07 - 09:41 AM "All I know is that I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with a fox" Depends on who she is... |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Rapparee Date: 21 Mar 07 - 07:39 AM Two guys found a large, dead animal and being good citizens decided to bury it. They dug and dug, as it was QUITE a large animal. Various people passed by, but the preacher stopped. "What are you doing?" he asked. "We're fixin' to bury that animal there," replied on of the two. "Only, we don't know what sorta critter it is." "Well," said the preacher, "according to the Bible, that's an ass." The two guys thanked him for identifying the corpse and he moved on. Finally, a little boy came along and stopped to watch. After some time, he asked, "Are you guys digging a foxhole?" "Well," one replied, "that ain't what the preacher called it." That picture just reminded me of that story. Don't have any idea why.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: GUEST,Blind DRunk in Blind River Date: 20 Mar 07 - 09:20 PM There is only one man I would want beside ME in the flippin' foxhole! Don Cherry. No flippin' joke, man. Don Cherry knows what to flippin' do in a jam and he don't back down fer no one! His dog Blue would be there too if Don was there and Blue is a flippin' pit bull! We would kick the enemy's ass! But if Don Cherry was not available...I guess I would settle fer my brother Don (McBride). He may be an idiot but he is my brother, eh? Fambly has gotta stick together. - Shane |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: skipy Date: 20 Mar 07 - 07:47 PM My choice, me, of all the poeple that I love & those that I just like, followed by those that I dislike & those that I hate, a foxhole is not a place to invite any of them, so I'd rather be there alone, if I let myself down there will be no witnesses. If I let them down there will be no recriniations. Two tests that I have had to take (due to work) both placed me as a Chairman / sniper, one of the guys setting the test was delighted! he had never had someone who fell into that catagory before, the other one was very, very worried & predicted a mental breakdown, a couple of months later he was proved right, I fell apart like a house of cards!

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Bunnahabhain Date: 20 Mar 07 - 06:22 PM Can we bring Gluon? If we're stuck in that kind of situation, I'd rather be in a different space-time continuinum to everyone else.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Ebbie Date: 20 Mar 07 - 03:39 PM Right, Dean. (And that's a compliment, Rap.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: frogprince Date: 20 Mar 07 - 03:19 PM My immediate thought was Rapaire. Partly because I think he would be the one to have there with a gun, if there was a real reason. Partly because (look back a couple of posts) he would be the last person to take the idea of being there with a gun lightly. Dean |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: beardedbruce Date: 20 Mar 07 - 12:59 PM "and composing lyric odes about William Shatner" Aren't there international laws about torture??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Ebbie Date: 20 Mar 07 - 12:57 PM I think it's a silly hypothesis. But who I would choose would depend very much on how long I had to be there. In the short term I'd enlist people like Kendall and Rapaire and even Claymore. (I would definitely NOT choose The Terrible T- a desk warrior is not of great use.) For the long haul I would in addition choose other people, people who would entertain me, make me think, help me put my dilemma into perspective. Some of those would be women, some would not. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Mar 07 - 12:45 PM I can see why Rapaire with his weaponry is a popular choice. My sharp tongue 1) wouldn't be understood by most of the Iraqis I might chance to meet and 2) its barbs would be directed homewards at the White House. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcatter in your foxhole? From: Desdemona Date: 20 Mar 07 - 11:19 AM I was going to say Little Hawk, too; we could while away the hours talking about dogs, the greater Toronto area (my partner is originally from Newmarket, went U of T, etc., but his mom grew up in Orillia), and composing lyric odes about William Shatner. ~D |
