  • i feel a pain in the breadbasket.
  • Red, White, and Blue caption text! One-of-a-kind Patton sketches! Solicitations for more such sketches, delivered in the institutional passive tense! Membership in the Patton Society! Leadership Secrets of Attila the Patthun! I am overwhelmed. [George C. Scott in the role of the banana]
  • Reads like imitations of Kipling and Crane. I'm glad he didn't quit his day job. Intersting link. [banana]
  • This got me thinking about the movie Patton... goodbye three hours of my life. Thanks a lot
  • Not Kipling, I think, Slithy_Tove, so much as Robert Servive, but Paton seems to lack the balladeer's touch (among his other lacks).
  • Ugh, not quite as bad as McGonagall, but getting there.
  • Interesting link. Not quite in the same league as An Irish Airman Forsees His Death.
