Da Dum Dum Dum Dum…
another one bites the dust…The Colonel has fallen on the field of battle. Valiantly fighting the War on our own personal Terror, the Both Ends Bug, while tiling the new counter tops and caring for 3 children, and me, AND keeping the dishes running, he was struck in the line of duty at approximately 4:30 am, EST, Sunday, March 26, 2006.
Reports of chills and the urge to hurl began coming in around daybreak, and underwear was thrown away sometime shortly thereafter. The Captain, rallying from the previous ambush on the camp, was able to drag herself out of bed, make it to the company shower and report back to duty. The Privates are reportedly in some shock, as the TV has now joined the blacklist of other media items much in use over the time in which the Captain was infirm.
In another related report, the Captain states that not only did the Colonel do a superb job at Mission Control, but even crushed the Captain’s ice with a hammer, when only finely crushed ice would do. She also reports that extreme care will be taken to assure the Colonel’s complete recovery, which should be expected within the next 24 hours. Munitions of Lysol, Clorox, toilet scrubbers, mops and scented candles are currently being gathered. The washing machine is said to be in overdrive.
