I note in the last few days I have seen posts in the Rhine Tavern and Pierre's from no less than seven of our Marechal's. I am not sure if I have seen this in my seven years in the club. French veterans I salute you! Helga a round for the whole tavern.

I give you the Marechal's of the glorious empire of France!

Salute!

See, I told you I was a 'catalyst'..... :shock: :shock: :shock:

Where is Der Wurger? We shall put an end to this French foolery! :roll: :roll: :roll:

Doe, ray, me, fa, so, lah, te, doe! :o :o :o

Yeah, now I'm ready! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

No, really guys, great job. I love to see you senior fellows posting in our forums. Heck, I love to see everybody posting in our forums. It keeps Helga off the streets, well unless she just wants to be there of course. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Surely, at such display of vulgar humour, the gathered Marechal's raise perfumed hankies to cover the mirth alighting their faces, and more than one snuff box is receiving a pinch.

Regards,

Whaddaya mean "vulgar humor"? She is very good at what she does! There is absolutely nothing vulgar about it. Well, somewhat depraved maybe... :shock: :shock: :shock:

...but that is a matter of opinion... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

...or so I have been told. :wink: :wink: :wink:

And you wonder why Helga is so amenable to charging our drinks to the Hanoverian quartermaster's account.

What a lady does and what she is willing to admit to, are not always the same thing.

The tavern is starting to resemble a peacock farm in a breeding frenzy!

Oh wait, maybe That peacock is the honorable Colin and the rest of those marshmallows are just plain "fowl".

Oh, that is most definitely the "Peacock of France"! See how clearly he is defined against the commonality of the French Officer Corps. :o :o :o

Splendid plumage, General Knox. Impressive as always! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That image looks familiar Scott, is it the Old Guard forming for the final assault at Waterloo? I believe I see Ney preparing to lead from the front. :wink:

Ah yes, now I recognize that fine, red hair of his! :o :o :o

Sir, I would have to say, that looks like some good eatin' to me. Once we shoot him, we can pluck him and fry him up! :wink: :wink: :wink:
