The enforcer is definitely no-nonsense, and definitely not someone you would wish to be on the wrong side of. However, being Canadian, he is also the most *polite* "mean so-and-so" I have ever run across in any story, the comics or elsewhere! And, coming from a country with gun control, he also has much scarier ideas of how to gain a reluctant opponent's cooperation than merely sticking a gun in his face and issuing an ultimatum. I definitely would not want to have him "roll out" my hand as he threatened to do this past weekend. I guess Canadians are just terminally polite regardless. :-) TomC ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 17:15:01 EST From: Zulis@aol.com To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Off-topic, but perhaps amusing Message-ID: <0.c1138eb3.256c6be5@aol.com> Tom writes; << I guess Canadians are just terminally polite regardless. >> Yes, thank you.

The Canadian modelers (plastic & RC) who come down at least have good taste in the Brittish Empire subjects they tend to model, and are a lot more appreciative of WWI models than the locals, so I take the occasional worthless quarter in change and pretend not to notice and just say, "Y'all come again now yah heah?" To bring this completely back on topic, 2 Nie.11 questions: First, does anyone know the colors of St. Armand de Turenne's Nie.11 wings? Were they CDL or done in French National colors like the Fuselage? Second, was the crest in the center of his hunting horn emblem red & yellow diag striped or solid black?
