About Me


"In the midst of the peril that beset me, I took a long breath and surveyed my surroundings, cautiously filling my pipe with the finest leaf, obtained whilst serving in Honduras on the previous campaign. I then lit and smoked the ivory pipe, sweat dripping from my face as the waining heat of the day continued its scourge upon me, relief given only by the Fedora on my head and khaki shirt upon my back."
- excerpt from the Memoirs of Kevin Compton
"I could hear the rustle in the distance, not like the movement of small grounded creatures, no, a much more menacing sound that seemed to warn in its inherent personality the immenant threat that caused it. I signaled my campanions to head for the hill where high ground might give the defensive advantage neccessary to defeat the larger numbers that approached. Stealth was on our side and in such an environment as this, experience showed me, whatever strength gained from larger numbers is surpassed by disadvantage of more noise in movement. We waited out the night without fire upon the hill, anxious of the fight that day would bring."
- excerpt from the Memoirs of Kevin Compton
"I had seen him before when soujourning the wilds of Kenya. His shot with a rifle was beyond compare and his ability to track considered one of the most keen in the entirety of the company he served. Ltn. Braxton asked if I knew Kinsley personaly, I answered that I did not. It was most unfortunate recieving the news, two months following, that Cpt Kinsley was overtaken in a fire fight on the River Orinoco, attempting to secure the bridge. It was a great loss for our side but he did not die in vain for the bridge was successfully obtained and fortified allowing our advance deeper into the lines."

maybe they should shut up and sing

but wait, the only thing worse then their uninformed political views is their music! So if they could shut up and not sing, that would be ideal.
