Quote Of The Day

 

1. Good shot, Allan!

   As long as Napoleon is mentioned, however, this guy reminds me of more of Marat than anyone else.

   May we be forgiven a vision of Charlotte Corday?

2. You are forgiven. Now, we just need to figure out how to get Churchill to accept a female visitor during his bath (which might be never from the looks of him).

3. "What, sir, you would make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her decks?  I pray you excuse me.  I have no time to listen to such nonsense.” Napoleon to Robert Fulton

5. Z Woof:

   Whereupon Fulton took his new toy to England and Napolean took his tired old ass to Elba. Nappy later reappeared but found water in the loo and retired to the South Atlantic, where British steam-powered battleships kept him under house arrest. Nappy was steamed at this development but arsenic cured his ills.

6. For French ships, bonfires below decks are best known via the Mont Blanc in Halifax Harbor on 12/6/1917, and the Grandcamp in Texas City Harbor on 4/16/1947.  Both cities wrecked, thousands of casualties, and in the Halifax case, the largest man-made explosion until the A-bomb. 

   Even old Fur-Face Fidel had a French ammo ship blow up in one of his harbors once.  C’est la guerre, I suppose....

7. Ward Churchill as Napoleon? He must think his dick is 12” long! What a maroon!

8. Elba, hell!  St. Helena is too good for that cretin.  Devil’s Island would be a good place if it was still in business, but it isn’t....so the obvious choice is Krakatoa....
