Belated birthday wishes to GChristie and Pocus!
Sorry we missed it, but you know we would have been first in line to celebrate with you, if we'd been around.

Speaking of Aphrodite Mae, where has she and Dixicrat gone to? I hope they are well. Thanks, vonRocko! I'm a cop now, and so I don't have much time for fun stuff. Suspicious; grim; stern; that's me, nowadays. I wouldn't be much fun to read, even if I had the time. As for my wife, AM has transcended...

Gentlemen, I have news that is both wondrous, and rather sad. I'll get the sad part out of the way, first. For the foreseeable future, Our Gracious Queen will be unable to actively participate in our forums. Her participation here will be limited to responding to her private messages, and perhaps po...

I'm both surprised and a bit touched that so many of you remembered me. You're very kind, and I greatly appreciate your... ...I started to say "sympathy". :D I greatly appreciate that you took the time to post birthday wishes. This is a great community; I haven't found a more enlightened, civil, wel...

Happy Birthday, Rick! May you have many more! Congrats on the milestone!

Hey! I think you just might be onto something here, Carnium!!

Congratulations, Jim-NC. I'm glad to see you finally recognized as Cadre.

Caccio, I'm glad to see you recognized for your Battle Reporter. Congratulations.

Confederate, we've got 172 views to date on the ribbon you mentioned, so the problem must be on your end.

Please excuse my interruption, but I can't help but feel both amazed and delighted by how well Longshanks is conducting this tournament. Beyond the administrative duties of a TD, he is also providing excellent commentary in his "mini AARs". I would say, "well done, Longshanks!", but that just doesn'...

Dixicrat

Someone has to do it.
I'll be that One.

Congarats, Rafiki!

Warm regards,
Bill

Glad you "finished" the thread, Lee. Great effort!

And by the way: a hearty congratulations on being appointed as the Queen's Official Southern Ambassador!

Man, am I glad to see you back!

I'll be in touch via email d'reckly, your Excellency.

Dixicrat

The Queen will have to wait. I just realized that I've overlooked a few things. Things like congratulating my old and new friends for their awards. Sorry, gents. Lodilefty, I am deeply embarrassed that I've somehow overlooked congratulating you for your long overdue recognition. I cannot think of a ...

[...] Since now the Ribbons are handed over to all the community, what do you think about moving the thread to a less "specific" forum than AACW ? [...] Beloved Queen, :) I nominate Narwhal for a nod of some sort, for his good idea of moving the thread. Now, this thread has greater accessibility fo...

We interrupt this post with breaking news: Dixicrat, consort to the Queen, has declared a major breakthrough in his analysis of Mae's Queeniness! "I've finally realized," he says, "that the most majestic aspect of you is the enormity of your cluelessness , my Queen! Can something of such immensity ...

Dixicrat

I like your updates and summaries a lot , Longshanks. I've not seen anyone do it before, but it makes sense, in a "why didn't I think of that?" kind of way. Good job, on the tournament! :) @Our Gracious Queen: might we upgrade Longshank's medal with the frost of coolness? I haven't seen a tourny eve...

Dixicrat

I serve at the mercy of our Queen. :wacko: Oh mighty Queenie, would you like this moved? If so: where*? If not, I'll bow and depart rearwards from your presence. :blink: * and by where , I meant a forum, as opposed to "where the sun don't shine". :neener: Lodilefty, I've just spoken (by phone) to s...

Dixicrat

Your Majesty, I nominate Longshanks to receive recognition for his "bright idea" of a tournament. I believe that his endeavor contributes to the betterment of our community through fun competition.

Thanks, Longshanks, for a great idea.

Dixicrat

It's threads like this that make this place what it is. Culture, humor, competition, and convivial companionship. Men, it just doesn't get any better! :) Rock on, Longshanks & Company of Merry Men! May the most (virtually) ruthless s.o.b.* win! :turc: ...In a gentlemanly fashion, of course. :thumbsu...

Dixicrat

Aphrodite, I must concur with the consensus: I don't see the problem that you seem to. Or rather, not to the degree that would seem to compel you to initiate a thread on the topic. However, I've known you for a very long time, and I trust your judgement implicitly. So, I'll go so far as to say that ...

My Queen, I am not sure if he has been singled out for his work on this site yet, but if not I would recommend "LodiLefty" for an award. . . His work lately on updating the patches must be commended. Not to mention he hasn't snapped at any of us yet for bothering him with all our little issues :bon...

And not overly commercialized yet either. "Yet". Rest assured, Jim: as soon as corporate America figures out how to effectively exploit the holiday in the name of greed, we'll have Thanksgiving t-shirts, Thanksgiving cups at Burger King ("collect all seven!"), telemarketers calling you at dinner ti...

It's a great honor for me to announce in this thread that our gracious and generous Majesty has granted to Schluiffen the "Cadre Service" medal , at my suggestion, for the great presentation of his didactic and useful AAR. Congratulations for your award! [...]Likewise, I'd like to congratulate Le R...

John, you've created one of the most substantive threads that I can remember ever reading, on these forums. +1 Thanks, John. And also to the other contributors of this thread. This is a very difficult thread, for me... but I'm really glad that you gentlemen have said what you've said. Again, thanks...

Those pictures of Highgate are beautiful, Hobbes. Thanks for sharing them. The ones in your last post are touching, though, to the point of poignancy. I gather that Highgate is very old. Thoughts of ancient cemeteries reminds me of an old "army days" story that's appropriate for Halloween. Years ago...

I was kinda wondering if they had bazookaphones during the civil war era, and if they could have been a part of battlefield bands. It might interest you to know that Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture was originally scored for a percussion section that contained three bazookaphones. However, for whatever ...

After her post involving Sergeant Pepper's service to the CSA the other day, the Queen suggested to me a novel idea for a new AACW support unit: Battlefield Bands. We discussed the idea over a lovely dinner that included a bottle of an excellent Bordeaux. The more of the wine that we consumed, the m...

What are your sources for this story, if you don't mind me asking? I'm not seeing anything popping up about any of this browsing around the internet, and in fact there are other "explanations" about where the Beattles got the idea and name from. Not to mention that I'm not aware of any mid-19th cen...
