    Watch out for the aardvark, he's been getting a bit randy lately.
    High on life. And glue.

    with Goatrutar's admonition you sir are our new Aardvark OC.
    "A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship."

    Forlorn Hope -

    Congratulation on your appointment as OC Aardvark and best wishes on her new duties. I had been concerned whether someone would volunteer given the duties involved. Aardvarks are nocturnal and will only feed on ants, termites and a cucumber found only in Africa. Cerebus, our ceremonial Aardvark will therefore require that he be taken walkies throughout the night at approximately 3 hour intervals.

    (you could fill your basement with dirt and introduce ants and termites so they can nest there. It might affect your homeowner's insurance though)

    This could be the Legion's first job, protecting the first non ex CBC employeed appointed as our head of state in a decade and hunting down this bi-sexual porn star killer. The job would be in Canada which dislikes weapons so little chance of any nasty shooting or killing stuff. Plus there are several good stripper bars in Bytown and across the river in Hull IIRC that could serve as patrol bases

    The Legion lives to serve---have the Transport Officer charter the aircraft--I prefer Singapore Airlines.

    Thumbs up

    I understand the ' Barrack dress' is available in a particularly fluorescent pink......pictures to follow.

    It should tone splendidly with the Aardvark Wrangler's Official Royal Stuart Kilt.

    ( by 'Excellent' I guess the Colonel meant ' have another gong Lootenant ' ?)

    Incidentally, an unknown hand ( I suspect the PA to 2IC ) left a note in the Legion Suggestions Box ( strategically mounted abaft my cabin ) that the Clothing Committee should consider this item as ...uh....day wear for female staff in the RHQ.....



    The Legion Clothing Committee may wish to take under advisement ?
