Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

Gents all,
Due to some pressing personal matters, it is with great regret that I must take a temporary leave of absence of several months from our club. You lobster backs can rest assured that once things have quieted down some, you will once again receive the well deserved thrashings you should rightfully expect from the hands of Buck, Eli and Old Blue. Best wishes to all for the holiday season.

Now who is Bartholemew going to run little circles around nipping at Old Blue's mangy tail while he's gone? [V] Guess it'll have to be McClellan, or Peters, or Malone, or Cox, or Powers, or some other unfortunate soul. [xx(]

Take care Buck, I mean Chris. I get first crack at you on return. [:o)]

Thanks Chris. Looking forward to your speedy return. (Feel free to sneak back in and slip Bart some catnip![;)])

[:(] Chris, sad to see you go...I very much enjoyed our tournament game. Hopefully you will be back on the club books in the future.

Regards

Remember Bennington and come back when you can, Chris. [B)]

Good luck Chris, we'll be waiting for you with open arms. (The 18th century definition of "arms" in the military is a musket fitted with bayonet) [8D]

So what means "we'll be waiting for you with an open musket fitted with bayonet"? [8)]

The powder is gone, the pans are open, we are ready to receive you with our arms at the charge, and if you don't come to us, we will be over to see you in short order.
