There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

Vote?
Was that put to a vote that I missed? Is it because I'm just a cadet or there's a problem because I'm from Louisiana & we are considered in-bred ijits by some, or what?Originally posted by GUT View Post
I don't remember a vote. My hubs has relatives there. I don't wanna go to Switzerland. I can't do cold, just a swamp bunny.
how will that affect GUT with his spoon?

Well Rosemary let's see if I can explain it for you:Originally posted by Rosemary View PostWas that put to a vote that I missed?

I'm actually 'The General' in charge of the mission (that didn't go to vote either), so I try to co-ordinate the mission, arrange supplies and keep the brigade in order. However:
Gut pretty much has a mind of his own & it's useless to try to control him, besides he's the number one 'digger' around here, albeit very slow digging due to him using a teaspoon, the man is awfully useful.
Steadmund is the charmer of the pack, but he does go where we tell him, arranges the goodies that we need and treats every day as if it's his birthday
Pinkmoon is a bit of a mystery, never around when you need him, full of excuses that he's been kidnapped by some dragon (have you ever heard such a tale!) and then when he does show up he's like a headless chicken, always good for a joke or two though
PCDunn & Mayerling pop in from time to time, usually with a few fresh ideas & books, mmm, for some reason they've always got books
Cissy and the girls are holed up in an attic in a France, working for the resistance (think they're trying to resist Steady's charms more than anything!)
So there you have it! As a new cadet, your mission will be to do the ironing. Might seem like a trivial task for now but I'm a Brit & a stickler for trouser pleats
Oh, and Switzerland, well....Gut wants to go, so I guess we're all going!

Permission for leave granted Gut.Originally posted by GUT View Post
Don't forget to send the troops the customary postcard from your travels.
Oh, and don't forget to take tea rations with you (those foreign places don't know how to make a decent cuppa old chap).
I actually think Switzerland might be a good place to set up HQ. With all those cuckoo clocks Pinkmoon will never be late, the chocolate will ensure Steady has a constant stream of ladies hanging off his arm, and while they're busy you & I can dig a tunnel under the bank & help ourselves to a bit of gold bullion.
Ooh, and Rosemary, she'll make a good lookout & can drive the getaway cart.

Thank you Herr General. I don't drink tea so I am safe but SHE will have about 100 different types.Originally posted by Amanda View Post
We aren't going anywhere really foreign, one day in Bali a few in NZ the rest in Aus, but on a ship.
Now there's an idea, but I bet HERSELF wants it spent on another cruise.I actually think Switzerland might be a good place to set up HQ.
