On behalf of Congress, I am pleased to announce to promotions for the first week of May: Chris Hopper of Al Amos' 1812 Regulars has achieved the rank of Ensign. On behalf of Major O'Connor and myself, congratualtions. It would also seem that after my recent sacking of York, (which has Sir Natta's tights in a bunch - I think he is planning to burn Washington for it. He is roughly handling my poor militia along the road by Bladensburg) I have joined the famous Mr. Amos as a Lt. Colonel. Looks like I'll have to order new stationery. {Perhaps I can slip in a requisition for a few hogsheads of Rhum from Martinique....Hmmm....) Maj. Mike Cox New Jersey Militia (1st Hunterdon Cty) AdC American Army Edited by - Mike Cox on 05/06/2002 00:48:04 |

Gosh! An Ensign now! Thanks gentlemen! Now where is that comely and buxom Patriot Barmaid! Come here lass! Repeated rounds of your finest brews by that great man Sam Adams on me for all true patriots! Heck, I reckon you can give one to those detestable Rebcoated ones and their Hessian lapdogs as well. They probably will not be able to handle more than one, so water theirs down so their delicate constitutions can deal with it! Don't want their wigs to come askew and powdered faces streaked with tears! That just wouldn't do during a celebration! Ensign Chris Hopper 21st Infantry |

Right then! All this talk of Congress, promotions to dog catcher, immoral debauchery of all manner! <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> I say, no gentleman would linger in such a den of iniquity! I will however, accept your kind offer of a libation Mr. Hopper. And with utmost respect and gentility...toss it in your face sir! SPLASH! <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle> (Brit and Yank alike knock over their chairs in anticipation of a tussle). <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Now Mr. Hopper, should you demand satisfaction, I'm reasonably sure you know the proceedure. I remain at your service sir, and good day to you. Come Luigi, I've mussed my uniform and wig. <center><font color=gold> Brigadier General Sir Phil Natta Esq.

"General Natta!" [Lt. Col. Amos gently nudges Sir Natta's medal beckdecked breast with drawn sabre.] "I do believe you have insulted the good Mr. Hopper on this his day of celebration of his promotion to Ensign." "I would suggest Sir, an apology or I will be moved to take you to task." "What will it be, Sir? Shall I teach you manners on the battlefield? or, Will you be a good fellow and apologize?" [Lt. Col. Amos lowers his sabre and smiles.] Lt. Col. Al Amos 1st U.S. Dragoons 1812-R |

I knew that oversized monstrosity (how many polyesters died to make that wig Phil?) would squeeze the pretention of good manners out of him. Not surprising that he's finally flipped. Between the weight of that wig on his brain, the fumes of his perfumes, and the adhesive on his fake mole, there can't be much left of the poor man. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> Ensign Gary McClellan 12th Virgina Light Dragoons CO, Northern Department |

Retort for retort Mr. Amos. I do applaud all advances in rank, and I will freely apologize to my British brothers-in-arms for the unexpected ruckus. But no other apology will be forthcoming sir. In fact, you have drawn your weapon on me, (looking down on a very rusted and ill kept sabre) a serious breech of etiquette and a direct challenge which will not go unanswered, unless you apologize sir. Since you've seen fit to intervene in this affair, Mr. Hopper may be excused from action, should he decide to do so. If not, two heads on a pike are better than one. <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle> <center><font color=gold> Brigadier General Sir Phil Natta Esq.

Gen'l Natta.. If you insist.. my plate is seriously full at the moment, so a medium is about all I could handle... but perhaps something like New Orleans or Ft George? Ensign Gary McClellan 12th Virgina Light Dragoons CO, Northern Department |
