British officers on a toot, er, TEWT (Tactical Exercise Without Troops)

Well, no, this is not a post about characters from the old television series, F Troop. Rather it's a post in response to the following comments which I found très amusant. (Dammit Sarge! Always making us look stuff up! Es tut mir Leid, I'll try and stop doing that. Um, no, I won't.)

As there are five of us on staff, and our styles vary, you're going to see different topics come up. Now before PLQ gets his knickers in a twist, I do intend to acknowledge Andrew's presence here up on the mast head. He has said, "that's not necessary," but where that stuff up top is concerned, I like to re-decorate from time to time. So that is going to happen.

Eventually.

But not today.

I will also tell you that Andrew's prolific posting (two guest posts and now two more posts under his own "byline") have indeed inspired LUSH to consider taking some time to actually (maybe) post something. She's not sure what yet (or when), but with three kids at home to keep an eye on, a seven year old girl, a two year old girl, and a thirty-something fighter pilot, she's rather busy making sure that her household doesn't turn into the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (cue Gordon Lightfoot).

And yes, I know that's a cheap shot. But hey, there's a meme for that -

Sorry Juvat, I couldn't resist.

Anyhoo.

Now we have four folks with callsigns, Sarge, Tuna, Juvat, and LUSH (as the other lads in my squad called me Sarge in Basic Training, much to the chagrin of the real sergeants, I consider that my callsign, though later it was also my rank, kinda sorta, but yes, I digress). My point being is that Andrew has no callsign. Frankly, I think he needs one.

I propose The Bean Whisperer, in honor of his LOOKING BEANS post, of course. Then again, because of his time in the Society for Creative Anachronism, perhaps Sir Bean might be more to the point. Depending on the quantity of beans consumed, maybe Dances with Beans, but a callsign can't be too long, so maybe just Beans. I dunno.

What say you?

Now, where the heck are we?
