  1. Does nobody here have underpants and two pencils? Oh well, it is probably for the better, as I have a cunning plan to catch Fritz with his own pants down.
    We do exactly and that is the brilliant part, damn I am so good, exactly what we did 18 times before. Thank you, thank you, now go on and we see you in Berlin for tea and sausages.

  2. I have a feeling I've heard Lt. Bill's poem somewhere before. Does it go something like

    "Boom, boom, boom, boom…
    Boom, boom, boom.
    Boom-boom! Boom-boom!"

    To start off with, anyway. I think there was more to it, but I forget how it ends.

  3. Thanks! I been feeling sick today (think it was the Swedish fish candy I ate some of), and this skit made me laugh specially the gas attack, my pops tells me its just like that! Made me laugh and got me to feel a little better… Good luck psyching yourself out to not charge gloriously into a German machine gun nest with no cover, no smoke or foliage, and swamp to slow you down, plus I forgot the snakes, and other disease carrying critters there.. Plus that old myth of Germans using a werewolf at the time… Well… Have fun!

  4. I don't know why everyone is making such a fuss over that latest boche rehash of "All Quit on the Western Front" when there's this gripping cinematic masterpiece of the Great War to behold. Bravo Lads, now up and over you go!
