. . . . have a little something in common. . . .They're using the Walt Whitman poem PIONEERS OH PIONEERS for one of their latest commercials.. . . . The Battle Mistress' name was derived from the same poem!!!! :eek: :thumbup:

I think Big Dave Brown needs to make some Levis Denim Kydex Pants for the new Bushwacker Mistress :eek: :D

Man, I need a drink!!!:eek:

Jerry:D:thumbup:


Raise the mighty mother MISTRESS. . . . Through the BATTLE, through defeat, moving yet and never stopping, Pioneers! O pioneers!

---Walt Whitman
 
Sounds like Santa JERRY'S feeling Pretty MERRY, merry Christmas Pioneers! O pioneers!
 
Merry Christmas! Thanks for getting my Bushwacker BM to me so fast! Thanks for everything. Hope you , your family, and all the crew have a great Christmas!
 
Uh Oh. Sounds like Jerry's been into the Scotch again.

But then they could glue Jeans material to the kydex.
 
What an awesome story!!!

Good to know it wasnt named after some hussy with a temper :D

Next to songs of innocence and experience by blake, leaves of grass is one of the all time greatest collections of poems - good stuff!
 
Denim Kydex Hmmmm..............actually Blade-tech did have some years ago, not a great seller but who knows ?
 
Cheers! I'll share my favorite Walt Whitman poem:


I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it, and the moss hung down from the branches;
Without any companion it grew there, uttering joyous leaves of dark green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself;
But I wonder'd how it could utter joyous leaves, standing alone there, without its friend, its lover near--for I knew I could not;
And broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss,
And brought it away--and I have placed it in sight in my room;
It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends,
(For I believe lately I think of little else than the)
Yet it remains to me a curious token--it makes me think of manly love;
For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana, solitary, in a wide flat space,
Uttering joyous leaves all its life, without a friend, a lover, near,
I know very well I could not.
-Walt Whitman

You know... I wondered about that when I heard the poem again in that commercial... :)

Very cool to know that bit of history Jerry. :thumbup:
Make even more sense now knowing your background in theatre. ;)

Being my favorite poem, I had always wondered if it's where the battle mistress came from. I hate that levis commercial, it wrecks it.
