Ahhhhhh, I take it that the Major's copy was a 'special' edition, complete with editor/author notes in the margin (albeit in Crayon), and like his copy of the Bouquet Papers (only Volume 2, all the other volumes are dammed lies, conujured to impune the Major!!!) it probably includes the proper 'omissions' (via black Rub-A-Dub Marker). All kidding aside, at least in the Major's world, he is the captain of his Enterprise.
Your Humble Servant,

It almost reminds me of our most recent action at Loyalahanna several wees ago,when I was a guest of Major Grant and his"hospitality".After inviting me into the officer's quarters,I observed the mannequins of George Washington,Archibald Montgomery and Henri Bouquet seated at the table with a place reserved for me."Gentlemen,I'd like to introduce you to Lt.McKinnon the newest member of our family"Major Grant bellowed.(the mannequins stared ahead in stony silence).(Major Grant to GW)"Much as you were invited to become a member of General Braddock's family,so shall we invite the good lieutenant from that other regiment that shall not be numbered in my presence to become a member of ours"."What say you to that gentlemen?"(mannequins stare ahead in silence).(Major Grant)So,has the cat got your collective tongues?""You weren't so quiet a minute ago when you were conspiring to undermine my expedition to take Ft.Duquesne!""Stop staring at me!Are you trying to offend me!?"(Grant leaves the room with the George Washington mannequin)"Come Col.Washington,we leave at once on our mission just as soon as we have victuals". To Be Continued......

I seem to recall, during the Major's tea party, that while he was lifting the cup to the wax lips of the Henry Bouquet mannequin I heard him hiss into its ear, "I know you've always plotted against me, I will have satisfaction".

Oh, and don't forget, the Major pronounces victuals as "vic-too-alls".

There are also some rumors floating around Loyalahanna these days that Major Grant and Msr.West will be the military advisors for this film,much as Dale Dye wa for LOTM.An added feature will be the "cameo"appearances of some of the "gentlemen"from the barracks.EM |

Did I mention that "The Virginian" is going to want to add his two cents on this one as well?Of course he knows as much about history as I do on how to fly a 747.Gotta get me one of 'em Federal jobs someday.

One of the movers & shakers of "The Robert Carlyle Fan Club" tells me that filming will begin this month in Scotland.There will be some cool pics of castles in the highlands.This will come on the heels of Robert's portrayal of Hitler in the CBS series and John Sayles screenwriting for th new Alamo movie for Disney. |
