Well that sounds more like you're referencing the rank and file of the troops, you know, "these people are the general cannon fodder." rather than a Leader of Men. If you shortened it to "General Cannon" you might be getting somewhere, though the penis jokes might be a bit too much.crimson5pheonix said:What if it was "General Cannon Fodder"?Amnestic said:that's because you're an uncreative prattledonkeyAltorin said:My D&D games always include an ogre named Ugu..Amnestic said:It's a rule of (my) fiction.

buddy.
;D
There are better General's out there than Jenkins. Jenkins won't inspire fear and loyalty in the troops. Not like...General Ironside or something like that.But General Jenkins sounds so right...
I always use someone named Guildencrantz in my fictions, from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I just like the name, I find it to be normal enough for people to not think of it as too wierd, but strange enough for people to take a second look.Altorin said:My D&D games always include an ogre named Ugu..Amnestic said:It's a rule of (my) fiction.

You know, the general in Afganistan (last I heard) looking for Bin Laden was General Hunt Downer.Amnestic said:Well that sounds more like you're referencing the rank and file of the troops, you know, "these people are the general cannon fodder." rather than a Leader of Men.

On the note of funny army names, a friend told me a story about his cousin's first day at boot camp.
All the new recruits (including my friend's cousin) are all lined up waiting for their Sergeant. Said sergeant strolls out, paces up and down in front of them before stopping and saying.
"I am your Staff/Drill/whatever Sergeant. My name is Mike Hunt. You have twenty seconds to laugh about that and then I never want to see so much as a smirk about it!"
They exploded into laughter and then on the *dot* they all stopped. It was one of those things you sort of expect in a comedy sketch, except it happened in real life.

Why would you buy a shirt that said "Leroy Jenkins" without knowing what it meant?Radelaide said:I had a shirt saying "Leroy Jenkins" and I didn't know what the reference was for ages... Isn't that disgraceful?

Jeeves, of the Jeeves and Wooster books, is the archetype upon whom all butlers since are based. All of them.

I didn't buy it. My mum did.
