    This stanza, of course, was famously recited by O'Brien and Bashir, but I got to thinking... wouldn't that just be the greatest snow ball fight ever?

    (then again, would the 600 be up against 1,200?)

    :lol: It's better than what happened to the real soliders, at any rate. I think this thread is going to get moved.

    I studying this in university, I'd never looked up what they quoted, but it was neat that we covered it. I think Tenn. was reading the paper and saw the article when that happened, and immediately wrote the poem in their honour, if I recall correctly... but I may not, it was a while ago.

    Like this...

    "And Alfred Lord."
    "Tennyson!"
    "Tennis ball."
    "Son, son."
    "Oh, sorry, Alfred Lord, who is evidently Lord Tennis Ball's son." :guffaw:

    Actually, closed.

    Sorry, but I just don't see much discussion here and have no idea where to move it to. So I'll just have to kill everyone's fun.
