Chief, "While we wait for the next books here are some Honorverse songs from you-tube:"

"Fair Was the Blossom is one released by Baen Books another fan selected art from the books:"

"Manticore and Haven Back at War is a funny song enjoy:"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQenJrawNps&feature=related

"The Honor Harrington Song is rather over the top, read the last unsung line, thank Testor it's short:"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vegu6jZHjyI&feature=player_detailpage

Mange, <For those new aboard, a Mary Sue is a too perfect character without faults. I don't think this applies to Honor in this series, just saying.>

"Finally a recruiting pitch from the official fan organization, The Royal Manticorian Navy, with some neat graphics of the Honorverse warships in battle:"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx1M0Q0ERdk&feature=related

"Hope you enjoy the videos, there are several others as you can see. Now to repeat the first joke on Honorverse Humor or lack thereof.

"What did Lord Whitehaven call his first date with Honor Harrington?"

<My date from Hell.> Image "Bleek, bleek,...bleek." Image

Chief, "Hi all, not a Honorverse joke but a funny story my Niece sent:"

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?

My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training, and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. Then realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No."

.. I kept thinking, Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me. Then I asked, Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"

"No," he replied.

I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. "Soooooo," I asked one more time, "Danny did you have an accident?"

This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled:

"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"

While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.

An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the
best laugh they'd ever had!


Mange, <Art Linkletter will be happy in the great beyound that kids still say the darnedest things.>

Chief, "nah, just started it and give it a nudge in the doldrums. Admiral Werrf is another regular as are Thirdbase and others. Given the world as it is today we all need a smile break now and then. So you got a joke or humorous tale share it. Jchilds we need a name for your treecat, say from child = kid; how about Kiddy-kiddy? Any cat owner will tell you you don't own the cat, the cat owns you<G>"

Mange, <You call that a grin?> Image

WARNING SNERKER JOKE ABOUT:

Image

Chief, “So Mange Admiral Michelle Henke helps the revolution against President Svein Lombroso of the Mobius System with part of Tenth Fleet. Naturally after the fact Queen Elizabeth asks her cousin why she acted like a loose cannon?”

Mange, <Well perhaps since Michelle has just handed the "invincible" Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one-sided defeat in its entire almost thousand-year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire's Talbott Quadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history of humanity. Its navy is going to be back – and this time with thousands of superdreadnoughts.

<Yet she also knows scores of other star systems — some independent, some controlled by puppet regimes, and some simply conquered outright by the Solarian Office of Frontier Security — lie in the League's grip along its frontier with the Talbott Quadrant. As combat spreads from the initial confrontation, the entire frontier has begun to seethe with unrest, and Michelle sympathizes with the oppressed populations wanting only to be free of their hated masters.

<And that puts her in something of a quandary when the messenger from Mobius arrives, because someone's obviously gotten a wrong number. According to him, the Mobians’ uprising has been carefully planned to coordinate with a powerful outside ally: the Star Empire of Manticore. Only Manticore — and Mike Henke — have never even heard of the Mobius Liberation Front.

<It's a set-up . . . and Michelle knows who's behind it. The shadowy Mesan Alignment has launched a bold move to destroy Manticore's reputation as the champion of freedom. And when the RMN doesn't arrive, when the MLF is brutally and bloodily crushed, no independent star system will ever trust Manticore again.

<Mike Henke knows she has no orders from her government to assist any rebellions or liberation movements, that she has only so many ships, which can be in only so many places at a time . . . and that she can't possibly justify diverting any of her limited, outnumbered strength to missions of liberation the Star Empire never signed on for.

<She knows that . . . and she doesn't care.

<No one is going to send thousands of patriots to their deaths, trusting in Manticoran help that will never come.

<Not on Mike Henke's watch.>
