But also, Moses, not being a seafaring person, upon the command "Hard to port", turned hard to starboard and rammed the craft into the bullrushes.

Thus it came about...

This thread, started seriously (!), has become somewhat Pythonesque, but good fun, nevertheless.

Hi Jon,

Forgot to mention.....if you are a card carrying "actor" good or bad and you dressed up it would not be considered reenacting....you would be considered a "thesbian".....(now watch the comments fly ROTFLMAO) and it would be acting vice reenacting...even if it is a one-man-show

cheers

Thesbian ? did you mean thespian? Am I missing a nuance here, or am I subject to a baldy haired guy's mis-spelling?

Man, am I having misgivings about posting this thread. Great riposte, but little serious input.

Mike: I tend to agree with your viewpoint about enhancement of a display. What I guess I'm really concerned about is that monochrome cbt + FN + webbing + Jeep might be too close to recent CF dress/equipment, that some might feel affronted.

Clive, just read your post. Thanks. I feel that we're on the same wavelength avec your thoughts.

Jon,

As Clive suggests....and as I do....I always bring all kinds of kit to the show and shines....it ALL stays in or on the vehilce on display. What is really cool is when all the Corvette, Duece Coup, and other car owners come over and say in good natured jest "how come all the viewers take pics of your dirty (it adds to the theme) little jeep and not our cars" "Ah because every guy was a kid once who played "war games"....and todays kids are far more knowledgeable about weapons systems that I was when I was a kid. That is because of video games.....nothing like some 9 year old asking you if you have a Garand and the father says "whats a Garand?"

cheers
