Nice post poker.

You know what would be cool? A Christmas stocking designed like a stretched treecat. A collector's item that'd be.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

"The 'Cat came Back"

The People's Republic had some troubles of his own
For the Manties had a 'cat that just wouldn't go home
StateSec and the Navy tried to blow that 'cat away
they sent Coglin to Basilisk far away...

But the 'cat came back, the very next day
the 'cat came back, they thought they'd killed his Honor
but the 'Cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away

They sent a ship to Grayson, knew the 'cat would be right there
They tried to make the Manticorans panic and dispair
but the Maccabeans found Nimitz, he gave a little "bleek!"
and the corpses smelled like celery for more than a week...

But the 'cat came back, the very next day
the 'cat came back, they thought they'd killed his Honor
but the 'Cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away

They sent a fleet to Hancock,for a short victorious war
but Honor and her 'cat had a couple tricks in store
and before the Havenites could question those "BC's"
the Manties sent their arse to space as easy as can be...

But the 'cat came back, the very next day
the 'cat came back, they thought they'd killed his Honor
but the 'Cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away

@ Chita I'm waiting for the purple treecat slippers!

Historical joke from Facebook: Need a laugh, the right way, the wrong way, and the navy way, past foe's view of the American Navy:

Honorverse versions:

"The reason that the People's Navy conquered so many star systems was that war is Hell, and since none of their people wanted to end up there, they were motivated to succeed."

-Honor Harrington

"One of the problems with fighting the tactics of Honor Harrington:
Not only does she never operate "by the Book," but I doubt she's ever even read it!"

-Officer of The People's Navy

It's worse than that, she wrote the Book, and is continually adding new chapters.

She rewrote "the book" because everyone was originally holding the tactics section upside down.

Can't you just imagine her finding someone reading "the book" then walking up to them and taking it out of their hands, flipping it, and handing it back, "There!"

And now it's making sense?

:lol:

If you read the Art of War upside down. You may incorrectly assimilate it as the War of Art.
