Levi's Jeans And The Battle Mistress. . . .

[Solstice]

. . . . 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!!!! :thumbup:

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

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

Jerry:thumbup:


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

---Walt Whitman

Come on now Jerry....truth be told....you already had a couple when you wrote this!

Squeal talk. ^

You don't ever let up do you?

OK this is going to sound like blasphemy, but I never read Walt Whitman.

But I've seen the commercial you are talking about. To be honest, I really liked the poem (although i thought somebody had written it specifically for that commercial) but found the imagery showed in it to be not in sync with the words. However immediately Busse popped into my head, I thought that would be perfect theme for a no nonsense rugged go anywhere blade. I didn't think particularly about the BM (because I have never seen one in real life).

I think Walt Whitman was thinking about Infi when he wrote this one:

...It may have to wait long, but it will certainly come in use;
When the materials are all prepared, the architects shall appear.

I swear to you the architects shall appear without fail! I announce them and lead them;
I swear to you they will understand you, and justify you;
I swear to you the greatest among them shall be he who best knows you, and encloses all, and is faithful to all;
I swear to you, he and the rest shall not forget you—they shall perceive that you are not an iota less than they;
I swear to you, you shall be glorified in them.

Read the poem in my American Studies class and seen the commercial, which is pretty cool because I didn't know how the rhythm was. The words Battle Mistress never even caught my mind, very cool!
