Someone must be watching the "Sharpe" movie series......
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

You caught me. Somebody mentioned it in a thread, and then I found the episodes on YouTube. Good stuff, really. A bit hokey at times, what with somedude always dying in someotherdudes arms as he says his last words and stuff.

Interestingly, when the more-honor-than-status Sharpe ends up in a duel against an upper-class master swordsman, guess who's there? Atherton Wing.

I'm talking about the fellow in red and white Brit army uniform, standing to Bean's right. The guy who tells him he must have a second.

And IMDB confirms that Ath, mind if I call you Ath, was indeed Sharpe's second.

Actually, Sharpe refused a second.  =)

I thought Atterton being there was really interesting, since the duel is so similar to the one in Firefly.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I don't know if Hal is homicidal, suicidal, neurotic, psychotic, or just plain broken.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies.
You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

And that is why evil will always win, because good is stupid.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
