During the First World War a homing pigeon named Cher Ami (Dear friend) saved the lives of 194 American soldiers by carrying a message across enemy lines in the heat of battle. Cher Ami was shot in the chest and leg, blinded in one eye, losing most of the leg to which the message was attached, but continued the 25 minute flight avoiding shrapnel and poison gas to get the message home. Cher Ami was awarded the French 'Croix de Guerre' with Palm for heroic service. Fitted with a wooden leg he later died from the wounds received in battle and is now enshrined in the Smithsonian Institution.

Finally, We pigeons get the respect and honor we deserve.
VIA LA FRANCE!

Yeah I'm not usually a fan of media tie-in novels, but I do love me some Walking Dead. I wish Kruelaid's Z-Day game was still running. Hopefully once his life settles down we can get it running again.

Hey, Trinam;....
is "AM BARBARIAN" actually built somewhere?
I tried to look; that thread has 500 posts......
kinda intrigued by the statement re:
"AM BARBARIAN DID GOT'S TELAMPORT TO ASTRAL PALNE. RAGEY RAG'Z ON ATRAL PALN. SOMETHING SAY YOU AM SHUT UP. AM BARBARIAN SAY TELAMPORP ME HOME THAN AM SHUT UP. SOMETHING AM GATE AM BRABARINE HOUME." or whatever's.
I have his feats and rage powers scrawled down in my +1 three ring binder of horrid evil, but I don't have gear fully done and I haven't finished statting his mount.
Excellent rendition, by the by.
