Does everyone know the story of a wartime commander named "Pea-soup Odlum"? That's who I think about everytime someone mentions Pea-soup. You betcha bizzt. Unless you just googled that, I tip my hat to you.bizzt wrote:talking about the Canadian 11th Brigade right?
I remembered something about that from 8 years ago but had to refresh my memory why he was called that. However it was an interesting story none the lessFelgar wrote:You betcha bizzt. Unless you just googled that, I tip my hat to you.bizzt wrote:talking about the Canadian 11th Brigade right?
... How awful Canadians without their Rum 
There ya go. Now you know all about Pea-Soup Odlum.Throughout the coming tour of duty our men found the Germans even more active and aggressive than on previous occasions. Though there was no "going over the top" the tour was a heavy one. The battalion was beginning to feel exhausted before going in and the long stretch of hard work under particularly galling conditions tried the men severely. More over a paralyzing blow had been sustained during the brief spell spent out of the front line; orders had been received from Brigade that for the future the rum issue for all units of the 11th Brigade would be discontinued. What gratuitous hardship this deprivation under conditions obtaining on the Somme entailed on the men no pen can describe; in wet and cold and mud rum is no longer "The Demon Rum; it is "The Life Saver," the one thing which restores the frozen circulation and combats the deadening chill. But the decree went, forth and for four months spent in the raw and bitter Somme area and later on the wild and freezing slopes of Vimy Ridge the 11th Brigade struggled to its duties unsustained by the one drop of comfort which is laid, down in K. R. & O. as a permissible issue. To add insult to injury hot soup was substituted which always came up the line over salt, increasing the thirst which even before was a recognized torture of a front line where water had to be hauled up on men's backs, and earning for the 11th Brigade the unenviable cognomen of "The Pea-Soup Brigade." May the Moral Reformer and the Teetotal Crank gain comfort to their souls by the reflection that for four months some 4,000 men had their hardships increased by the cruel enforcement of their bigoted doctrines. And these men were all volunteers.

So getting back on Topic for the Sanity of KM. I would have to say no I have not read the book about Pea SoupAttentionKMartShoppers wrote:Has anyone read "The God Who is There" by Francis Schaeffer? He continually explains that humanistic philosophers cannot find a universal, which is keeping their philosophies from being actual philosophies, and not anti-philosophies. And, also, why can't humanistic philosophies logically lay the first stone to their reasoning?
It's hard at the moment, I'm making as much progress as a slab of concrete rolling uphill.
. It sounds like a Book I would not want to read because based upon your description it is counter productive and the slab of Concrete is it Round??
I try to be sly every so often Hopefully KM does not notice
