Ah!  The Alamo, Rorkes Drift, Custers last stand. These are the epic
tales of courage, endurance and bravery. Of fighting against
overwhelming odds. Of determination and never say die!
Tales that stir the blood when told round the campfire, that passes
from lip to lip.
And now, to join them, shall I relate the tale of The Raging Bastards
Demise?
Unfortunately no, as at the moment the details are somewhat sketchy.
It was well known that the 18th regiment of foot (the Raging Bastards)
had been cut of from their own lines after a successful advance
against a joint force of crack Hermes and Kalvis elements. Their base
(Hill 121) had somehow mysteriously vanished leaving them without
support and surrounded on all sides.
Before the final battle Captain Charles Bromley Pugh had successfully
escaped and carried the Flag to safety, in fact he was given 8 flags
to transport plus all the silver form the the officers mess and 127
letters which explained why it took him three weeks to get back to
Federation lines, and he told of wave after wave of fanatical fanatics
fanatically attacking.
It seems that the only survivor is the batman of Col Digby
Worthington, private (second class) Albert Spod, who heroically acted
as the Colonels right leg during the last engagement against a Kalvis
division. A Kalvis officer is reported to have disclosed that in the
end only the Col (and his right leg) remained standing, all other
Bastards having been slain. As five of the enemy approached him his
right leg (Albert) kicked one of them below the belt and the Col
immediately reprimanded him for ungentlemanly conduct. 
Doing this caused Digby Worthington to be distracted and another ran
him through and he fell over for the last time, taking Albert with
him. 
The Officer immediately saw the political implications of the
disclosure that last opponent to be killed in the battle would be a
lowly batman that was  strapped to his dead superior officer and
quickly shouted  STOP!. TAKE THAT MAN PRISONER!  
Hopefully more details will be forthcoming at a later date.

The Southern Winter is upon us, and far from feeling Bold, us poor
Porcupines are feeling Cold! If we have any friends left in the world,
please send us some warm fuzzies!  We don't want to be cold and
prickly any more.  If we could just figure out how to make blankets,
we wouldn't need our quills anymore to keep warm, and then maybe we
wouldn't be so scary to the people and fellow animals around here that
we'd really like to be friends with.  A couple of our old friends have
been finding us pricklier than usual lately, and we sure apologize for
that.  Does anyone know how to make blankets?  Also, we're in the
market for a good set of barber's shears that we could use to trim our
quills back a bit. Even if we don't get any blankets, we'll need to
trim back in the spring...
