Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Considering that this was written more than 100 years ago, the last few verses relating to Afghanistan is particularly haunting....     The Young British Soldier (by Rudyard Kipling) When the 'arf-made recruity goes out to the East 'E acts like a babe an' 'e drinks like a beast, An' 'e wonders because 'e is frequent deceased Ere 'e's fit for to serve as a soldier. Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, So-oldier OF the Queen! Now all you recruities what's drafted to-day, You shut up your rag-box an' 'ark to my lay, An' I'll sing you a soldier as far as I may: A soldier what's fit for a soldier. Fit, fit, fit for a soldier . . .   First mind you steer clear o' the grog-sellers' huts, For they sell you Fixed Bay'nets that rots out your guts -- Ay, drink that 'ud eat the live steel from your butts -- An' it's bad for the young British soldier. Bad, bad, bad for the soldier . . .   When the cholera comes -- as it will past a doubt -- Keep out of the wet and don't go on the shout, For the sickness gets in as the liquor dies out, An' it crumples the young British soldier. Crum-, crum-, crumples the soldier . . .     But the worst o' your foes is the sun over'ead: You must wear your 'elmet for all that is said: If 'e finds you uncovered 'e'll knock you down dead, An' you'll die like a fool of a soldier. Fool, fool, fool of a soldier . . .   If you're cast for fatigue by a sergeant unkind, Don't grouse like a woman nor crack on nor blind; Be handy and civil, and then you will find That it's beer for the young British soldier. Beer, beer, beer for the soldier . . . Now, if you must marry, take care she is old -- A troop-sergeant's widow's the nicest I'm told, For beauty won't help if your rations is cold, Nor love ain't enough for a soldier. 'Nough, 'nough, 'nough for a soldier . . .   If the wife should go wrong with a comrade, be loath To shoot when you catch 'em -- you'll swing, on my oath! -- Make 'im take 'er and keep 'er: that's Hell for them both, An' you're shut o' the curse of a soldier. Curse, curse, curse of a soldier . . . When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck, Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck, Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck And march to your front like a soldier. Front, front, front like a soldier . . .   When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch, Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch; She's human as you are -- you treat her as sich, An' she'll fight for the young British soldier. Fight, fight, fight for the soldier . . .     When shakin' their bustles like ladies so fine, The guns o' the enemy wheel into line, Shoot low at the limbers an' don't mind the shine, For noise never startles the soldier. Start-, start-, startles the soldier . . .   If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white, Remember it's ruin to run from a fight: So take open order, lie down, and sit tight, And wait for supports like a soldier. Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . . When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, And the women come out to cut up what remains, Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains An' go to your Gawd like a soldier. Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, So-oldier OF the Queen!       --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:00:32 -0800 (PST) From: david shakespeare To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] hey ray Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I m from Wyo my name is david shakespeare.  Im with the defenser method kali eskrima of chicago but im livin in Bosie Id at the moment.   have a safe trip. --__--__-- Message: 3 From: Glen Dahms To: Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:05:08 -0600 Subject: [Eskrima] Heart shaped basket sets from the Philippines Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hello, First who am I talking to here and where are you located? I am Datu Guro Glen Dahms (Dahms Academy of Martial Arts) read your note in Eskrima reveiw about heart shaped baskets. i have been bringing back and selling Martial Arts weapons, shell craft, Wood carvings and weaves for years and selling them. I have rattan jewlry box sets and many types of basket sets of three as you were thinking of. Though there has never been much of a demand for these items here. Also business details, repetative exactness of items are not strong points of Filipino's. Do you have pictures, and exact sizes of the heart shaped baskets you want? What are you willing to pay for the set of three and how many do you need, when do you need them by? Can you pay (when the time comes) by credit card or paypal. I can never trust contacting and ordering, shipping and getting what I want or exactly how they are to be, or by a set time straight from the RP. Even with my contacts there I still go and have things made there, check them out myself, pick them up and ship them back myself. It's the only good way. I should be going back there in January and coming back to the USA at the end of April or in May. Thank You Datu Glen Dahms Rockford,IL. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail now works up to 70% faster. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_faster_1 12008 --__--__-- Message: 4 From: Ray To: Eskrima-Digest Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:53:36 -0800 Subject: [Eskrima] Back from Wyoming Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Back from Cody, WY.
