camwynBEFORE the Mountain Dew I was listening to the radio in my car on the way to the housefilk. Had my CD player rigged up; if the radio got boring I would flip on the player and listen to one song, then turn the radio back on. The CD in it right now starts off with 'Scolding Wife', which is followed by 'Snoopy's Christmas Carol'.
Five repetitions of Snoopy's Christmas Carol later I had successfully cast 9/10 of the Peanuts gang as adults in the First World War, beginning with Major Charles "Snoopy" Brown, the flying ace, also known as Blockhead Brown and Banana Nose Brown. His beagle Sparky was the squadron mascot. Reverend Linus "Padre" Van Pelt was the base chaplain; Franklin was a member of the Harlem Hellfighters, the 369th Infantry Regiment of the New York National Guard 15 Regiment. There were a pair of nurses named Patty and Marcy, with Patty wishing aloud quite often that she'd been born a man so she could be out there fighting; Marcy tried to point up the incongruity of this by calling her 'sir', which did not work. Major Brown didn't like to speak of his family much, but he carried a picture of the little red-headed girl he'd left back home... I'm not sure about Padre van Pelt's sister, but I got nearly everyone else nailed.
And no Mountain Dew to excuse that. Aaaieygh.
