Hat Tips: Mike B and Lewis
It never fails. The moment I think it’s safe to catch some sleep, the Nitwits come out to play. Mikkake decided it’d be cool to go on another fearmongering kick, and post a picture on SL of some army guys on a training exercise in Idaho.
This spud’s for you, Mikkake.

Shrews got in a really good one:
Apparently, British troops train indoors.
I love the tinfoil cats that Cynical the Eighth Dwarf posted in response.
When Daggy asks “What’s Idaho?” he’s being facetious, but from his next comment, he seems to think nobody lives there. The 2000 census had the population of Haley, ID, at 6200, which isn’t much less than that of my town. That doesn’t exactly mean that nobody lives in the tri-state area.
Most people give Mikkake a smackdown, and even Nebuly gets in on the act, in her own extremely kind, polite way. But Daggy’s there for the dick-sucking.
Yes, I’m taking page grabs, because this one’s going to go poof sooner or later.
Tin foil cats is cute!
Yeah, so much smacking there’s no way that thread will last. And Ant hasn’t even got in there yet!
Even the less annoyed posts are disagreeing.
We’ve reached page two. I must save this for posterity.
lots of smacking going on.
That’s a fantastic thread.
And yes, what the FUCK is Phailbin thinking? I have seen UK Army troops off-base in the UK also. Military personnel aren’t ants, and bases aren’t ant farms–they’re allowed to have off-base training exercises.
There is no such thing as a British Army. We destroyed it in 1814 during the Battle of New Orleans, when Captain Kirk chased the Klingons up the Mississippi River on a Spanish Galleon
How long do you think it’ll be before he posts another flounce announcement?
Jesu Christi, Janrae — you made me snort coffee up my sinuses, and out my nose. That was a fun ride.
My dad used to drive nuclear weapons all over Britain between Naval bases… good job Mikey never heard about that.
Janrae, you rule.
You also made me think of one of my favorite Perry Bible Fellowship strips.
Could you imagine in Mikey and Larry found out about all the times I helped ship chemical weapons around the US?
A buddy of mine was Air Force Security, stationed at a nuke site in London. He had some unique orders on dealing with hostage situations if said weapons were at risk.
Next, on Broken Record Radio, listen to the lovely strains of Larry singing “I Am Nitwit; Hear Me Bore” followed closely in the rear by “Another Breaks My Trust” by The Mighty Mikkake….
*face desk*
Oh I love the new pics! First the Carolina invasion, and then the adapted ‘military takeover’ pics.
I especially love Cynical’s insertion of Barbrady from South Park. 😀
Also the sheer logic of the size of the US seems to bypass these morons. If ever a country was made to be able to defy its rulers, it is that one.
Also also, it has been over here where force has been used on the people. From Wellington using troops, to the police beating the hell out of miners.
Oh yeah, and the Brit-Klingon alliance shall arise again!
We shall have our revenge, Kirk!
You’d think after numerous helpings of arse served on platters, the pointless shite of new world order theories, troops invading mars and Elvis seen with a riffle would cease.
Perhaps any attention is better than none at all.
“cussedness
There is no such thing as a British Army. We destroyed it in 1814 during the Battle of New Orleans”
Ahem…. We were just tired and let you win 😛
Too right, Vern.
We also, um, we did our hamstring the night before. Right sore it was. Oooh, could barely move.
ROFLMAO.
“Philbin, I will consider your opinion only after you have lived in as many parts of this country as I have and for as long a time as I have. Otherwise, keep your Bloody Redcoat nose out of our affairs, of which you know nothing whatsoever. Comprende?”
Janrae for the win! She shoots! She scores! Mike Sucks!
Vern, I had kinfolk who took that little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the Mighty Mississip’. Pakenham was simply out-generalled. I’m no great fan of Andy Jackson, but he sure opened up an oil tanker full of whoop-ass on your boys. Like Santa Anna learned twenty years later, you just don’t fuck with Tennesseans carrying guns. You might win once at extreme long odds, but that’s all we give you.
Of course, that excludes the little fracas my currently living kin call The Recent Unpleasantness. But those were other Americans, so we can tolerate it some.
*slinks off to bed, dreaming of Otter charging into battle*
SirOtter,
Hell, the best team won on the day. All the boys gave their best on both sides and there could only be on winner. The past is the past, the only thing of importance for me is a lot of good people obviously shed blood and that sucks. History can be a grim place.
You’d think the world would learn from past history…. Anyways, we have have sharp pointy sticks so we can kick some ass! 😛
Well, at least you guys got to burn the White House, Vern. Makes us even, don’t ya think?
I often wonder what might have happened in the War of 1812, if instead of generals like Pakenham, they had sent over someone like Wellington?
One of these days I’m going to get me a big red coat and wear it proudly. :p
Quite surprised to see that thread still going. Especially the pics. Didn’t see Janrae’s comment though.
One of the things I rather dig about the Deep South is how folks refer to past conflicts like they happened about six months earlier. Weird but interesting! 😉
Cuss, I’ll all full of love.
I didn’t even know we burnt the Whitehouse! My American history is terrible 🙁
At least the Uk / US are buddies these days 🙂
My advice for the day: orange juice out the nose from laughing is painful
We now return you to your regularly scheduled madness.
Dolly Madison fled the White House when the British soldiers landed. In fact, she fled to fast that the dinner on the big table was still warm when the Brits arrived. So they ate it.
See, that’s when a battle is worth fighting. When you get to eat and burn a house. Fun!
Phailbin fail!
Wow. Methinks he loves being smacked around too much.
Noticed he hasn’t gone back to the soldiers marching thread, but has restarted shit in the autism one, and started this new one. Maybe he’s asked for Matt to delete all it, cos ov all dose mwean fings dey said to him. 🙁
I’ll beat him to death with that fucking autism thread if I get a chance.
I took my daughter to the doctor yesterday and almost ended up punching someone protesting vaccinations right in the fucking head, instead I just had to be drug away screaming at the guy that I’d beat him to fucking death with my own bare hands.
Fucking wanna-be hippies.
I believe that Philbine and DAgstine do not care either way about the topic of vaccination, they just want to stir shit.
I don’t think they care about any of the topics they start. I’m glad to see that people aren’t shy about handing them their asses, though.
It’s all good, Vern. We’ve pretty much gotten over it all. I even majored in British history in college.
Janrae, that’s a good point about Wellington doing better than Pakenham. Could be, could be. The Iron Duke might’ve figured out how to nullify Jackson’s fortifications and avoided the frontal assault into the teeth of the Tennessee long rifles and LaFitte’s cannon that cost the Redcoats so dearly. On the other hand, given the terrain, there might not have been much else he could have done except just get there sooner than Col. Andy could get his earthworks finished.
That whole vaccination vs. autism reminds me of this:

Click that first, then this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax
Slightly different name for the lethal checmical, but same result.
I remember that hoax. It seems to recirculate every few years. The last time, as I recall, someone was trying to convince people on my home town’s forum that it was a lethal chemical in car exhaust. Yes, water is a byproduct of combustion, but all it’ll do in low mileage cars is eventually rust out a muffler or tailpipe.
I think that daggy just lost his freaking mind on the autism thread.
and the soldiers photo thread. And on the what’s it like to be a father thread and some other spots.
Wow. We have a Godwin on Mikkake’s N.W.O. thread. That didn’t take long.
Unless your name is W.C. Fields, water’s harmless.
Oh, and I don’t think the Iron Duke would have engaged the US at New Orleans. He would have swept through New England first and then moved south. The British generals failed to support and pursue their advantage.
If I were to try running that war in a gamer situation (I used to play simulations with miniatures), I would have sunk all American shipping along the east coast, landed heavily supported troops in both Boston and New York harbor and established a firm beach head.
The real problem was that they were too caught up by problems with France.
OK, had to post my thoughts on SL. I’d love to have so much spare time to devote to such pointless shit!
Actually, Janrae, Napoleon was in exile on Elba in January, 1815. The Iron Duke had some down time. Of course, had he gotten involved in our disagreement with the mother country, he might not have been in a position to get himself and his troops back to Europe in time for that little brouhaha in Belgium in April. That would have changed history a whole lot more than spanking the uppity colonials.
I often wonder what might have happened in the War of 1812, if instead of generals like Pakenham, they had sent over someone like Wellington?
They needed the good generals for the real war. What we in the US think of as “the War of 1812” is a footnote to the Napoleonic Wars.
Actually, Janrae, Napoleon was in exile on Elba in January, 1815. The Iron Duke had some down time.
A) The US War of 1812 WAS ALREADY OVER when the Battle of New Orleans was fought.
B) And Wellington didn’t have “down time”–he was a key delegate to the Congress of Vienna.

Better get page grabs, this threads about to go Bye-Bye because I know he’s about to go running like a butt-hurt baby.
It’s already gone and was bloody marvellous, I hope someone got page grabs of Ant working Daggy over with a verbal baseball bat.
I’ve got page grabs of that thread, the NWO one, and the autism one, on the assumption that all three will be deleted.
Aw, the giant pic of the Hubba Bubba soda can is gone 🙁
Army-in-Idaho: page 1, page 2, page 3, and page 4.
Damn, that was after Daggy tried going toe to toe with me and lost.
I guess he thought he was being menacing with his “You like shadow-boxing?” comment.
Maybe he’s going to stalk me, put on a dress and makeup, and beg me to fuck him.
NWO/Hubba Bubba: page 1, and page 2.
More people would like to see more Bobbies on the beat here in the UK. Once you would see policemen walking about, not marching or interfering, but just there. It was a much more effective presence than CCTV cameras.
Of course, if that happened, Philbin would declare ‘Fascism in the UK!’ or some shit.
I’m sure someone called him out when he reappeared – didn’t you flounce off?
That should be the new insult. Flounce off, Philbin. 😉
Jupiter, that’s true about the Treaty of Ghent already having been signed, and Wellington being hip-deep in the Congress of Vienna. But Napoleon went to Elba in, IIRC, March of 1814. It’s not that much of a stretch to think that the powers that be might have preferred him to wrap up hostilities in this side of the Big Pond instead of negotiating in Austria. Had he been in-country instead of Pakenham before the War of 1812 was officially over, he could have been available to make things complicated for us, to the detriment of European history and the loss of a great word for a devastating loss.
It’s not that much of a stretch to think that the powers that be might have preferred him to wrap up hostilities in this side of the Big Pond instead of negotiating in Austria.
The Battle of Toulouse was in mid-April of 1814, actually. And the “Blockade War” as it was called then in Britain was seen by the then-Secretary of War, Lord Liverpool, as an unimportant skirmish–the energies of the British government were totally focused on dealing with the aftermath of Napoleon.
If you read the contemporary accounts by government figures, there’s just no way that they would ever have thought they could spare anyone as important as Wellington for something they thought was as unimportant as the conflict in North America.
Especially since, by the spring of 1814, it was very clear that the Blockade War/North American War was going to be either a win or a draw for Great Britain.
Remember that Great Britain’s key war aims in the American conflict were a) to get the Americans to stop breaking embargo, b) to get the Americans to stop attacking ships to free impressed sailors, and c) to get the Americans out of the way of the struggle against Napoleon in general.
Great Britain didn’t have any particular firmly-held conquest aims; they just wanted the Americans to stop distracting them from the big war.
Are you calling us a distracting influence? Snort sniff sigh WAAAAAH
There, there, Cuss.
The world owes us Colonials a lot! Were it not for America the rest of the world wouldn’t have Walmart and the Burger King!
Wait…never mind… 😕
Is this the real Nicky? Note the signup date — today. Same deal with this account.
Yeah, stop distracting us. It’s not easy picking fights with everyone in the world.
America has provided me with Coca Cola and the Simpsons, so can’t complain.
Love Nicky’s pic. He looks scared of the camera, which no doubt he is holding and trying to act nonchalant.
Then I stand corrected, Jupiter. Still, it’s fun to speculate.
