"The Dawghouse is empty?!" Topic

Hey some one just got tossed in the dawghouse!!!

Well done everyone. This is the sort of intelligent debating that will attract others to the Napoleonic boards. With this sort of er, level, I can't understand why people would not want to engage in Napoleonic discussions. I mean, everyone is acting like a grown up, aren't they? LOL

Acting like an Adult…HELLS BELLS that's no fun!!!!

Growing OLD is mandatory…growing UP is optional!

Indeed … 👴🧟‍♂️💀👻

"LOL"
Acting like a grown-up?

I've been trying but so far I've only had some posts deleted. I guess I'll have to try harder.

Wolfhag, just cuz you're using Adult language don't make it adult.

von Schwartz,
I'm laying off the adult language and trying to fine tune my verbal skills on how to tell someone to go to hell so they look forward to the trip.

Ya got to play to your audience !

If you're the smartest guy in the room … you're in the wrong room !

Ooooo, when are we going, can I ride shotgun?

+1 LEGION 4

Come on guys, it's empty again.

The other day I was wondering what would have happened if America had hired Napoleon as a general in 1814. Maybe they wouldn't have lost the War of 1812?

Did Boney gaze to the East, and think on "Luisa"? Or, to the West, and think on Louisiana?

Had the Louisiana Purchase not occurred, what would the likely consequences have been? (Apart from President Bonaparte the Fiftieth, naturally).

That is interesting, I wonder if the USA had had populations at the level of the ACW if they could've raised a large army to send to the Spanish Peninsula to beat British veteran units like they did at New Orleans.

The population of the States would have been much greater at that time if the Royal Navy hadn't been so active in boarding Emigrant Ships to impress the men as sailors, the women as governesses, seamstresses and camp-followers, and the children for forcing bodily up chimneys.

Whaddya mean, bozo, "Fake Mythology"? I watched a Docu-Drama all about it.

Maybe they wouldn't have lost the War of 1812?

The US didn't lose the war-it was a draw. The British failed in all the major campaigns of 1814, with New Orleads lasting into early 1815.

Perhaps you should read Wellington's correspondence with Lord Liverpool on settling the peace treaty, which left the situation as it was before the war started.

Everyone rolling in the aisles yet?

The day is young … give it time …

I wonder if anyone did a study on just how many lead balls were extracted from Packenham's posthumous posterior?

Br'er Jonathan, he stan' behine de cotton-bales, an' he never said a thing.

Well 4th Cuirassier, you had one bite.

Unless Napoleon took command instead of Jackson and met his Waterloo in Waterloo, Louisiana, ABBA wouldn't have had a hit on it's hands. Someone would have had a heck of a time building a big mound there though.

Here is one!

Did Napoleon suffer from "Small Man" Syndrome?

Namely overly aggressive with an inflated ego covering a massive inferiority complex brought about because he spent his whole life being patted on the head,getting a crick in the neck looking up and having conversations going literally over his head.
Discuss!

I agree, Fenman.

French feet and inches were smaller than English ones, so Napoleon's height of 5 feet 2 inches was in fact no more than 4'10" in real money. The man was a borderline clinical midget.

Found this -

MODERN CELEBRITIES WHO ARE SHORTER THAN NAPOLEON (Napoleon was figured to be 5' 6 1/2" in English inches) :
Kevin Hart: 5'2"
Paul Simon: 5'3"
Seth Green: 5'4"
Bruno Mars: 5'5"
Daniel Radcliffe: 5'5"
Nicolas Sarkozy: 5'5"
Dustin Hoffman: 5'6"
Aziz Ansari: 5'6"
Jack Black: 5'6"
Jon Stewart: 5'6"
Lil Wayne: 5'6"
Elijah Wood: 5'6"

For what it's worth, Vladimir Putin is 5' 7".

David Van Day out of Dollar is also shorter than Napoleon, but less famous.

Although Napoleon never owned a burger van.

Elijah Wood: hobbit!

For what it's worth, Vladimir Putin is 5' 7".

Yeah, but he looks hot topless!!
Or so some of my female associates think.

After looking at the height of many of todays modern male celebrities I feel like BLOOMING GIANT at a towering 5'11". I have it on good authority that even Arnold is only 5'11"

The good thing about being short is you can hide better …

I believe I read maybe here that Napoleon was not relatively small, that he seize was average for his time. Legion 4, the problem is most of us do not stop growing or those place we use to hide in have shrunk.

"The good thing about being short is you can hide better …"

But you lose the sun earlier.

Don't get me started and the Holidays are here ! 😖😲

Yeah I never thought about it that way ? I'm only about 5'7" and getting shorter.

While we have mentioned , according to my DNA test from 23 & Me. I'm related to on my Father's side. And it only cost me $75 USD !💸

It's also easier for short folk to pick up things they drop as they are already closer than their taller comrades.

For Legion

Dynamite comes in small packages!

Dynamite comes in small packages!

I agree with ya on that !!! 🧨

E.g. one of my best Army buddies was about 5'5" and an Airborne Ranger. Tough little !

And you get yellow and green epaulettes and a colpack, which is somehow the coolest of all the furry hats.

Messi……..low centre (or center) of gravity. Best footballer ever (even better than Ronaldo or Maradona)

Did I miss something?

42flanker – yes, yes you did miss something!

BTW, what is John the OFM doing in the dawghouse. It just say "By request" where it should list his offense(s). Does that mean he asked to be put in the dawghouse?

Perhaps the nature of the offence is removed on request.

Oooo, was it THAT naughty?!
