OK - not sure now whether it was just a US kinda song, or if my age is showing...

Are the US guys here familiar with the song "Duke of Earl"?

Doesn't the BB Duke of Earl arrive in Karachi in '44?

OK - yeah - i wasn't really into rock music in 1962*, but the song is real familiar to me... so i guess it is (was) a US thing...

(*even someone like me was young once...

i've asked around - people here much younger than me are generally familiar with "Duke of Earl", so the "US thing" theory still holds up...

"Nothing can stop the Duke of Earl" is the only other line I know.

Well, between that and the "Duke Duke Duke" refrain, that is about 1/2 the lyrics (by word count)

Unfortunately, no. My opponent has a unit of these guarding Attu as I type. I'll capture them and give them an option to die or become mercenaries for me.

Yeah we got one of them, but it's usually only at platoon strength. Hard to keep up to it's authorized strength. They just don't last very long. Wonder why......

The squirrels belong to me and their loyalty cannot be bought.

However, it can be rented for a few nuts a day.

Makes me think ole "Bushytail" is one of those nicknames that means the opposite. Ya know, like Mr. Big or Madam Easy.
