Can We Just Talk About This For A Sec?

Webster about dating Liebgott: It’s crazy to have someone who’s always standing next to you to point out what’s happening. We will be in a restaurant and Joe will say, “You ordered your food an hour ago! You should have it by now!” And I’ll go, “Yeah! I should!”

Webster: It’s like having a lawyer for everyday life.

Favorite Band of Brothers Characters in Points [1/8]: StSgt. Darell “Shifty” Powers

Winters, to Welsh: We don’t use bad words in this house.

Nixon, in the distance: FUCK!

Easy company as cats

Dick -  Big ginger tomcat who always finds the best hiding spots to catch birds, well-mannered and rarely ever meows. Spends most of the day outside or curled up pressed to his owner, never bothering anyone though. Has a neat collar with a classic little nametag. You can trust him not to make any trouble if you forget to let him out into the garden when you leave for work in the morning. He likes water and sometimes stays outside in the rain chasing raindrops. Is best friends with the neighbour’s black persian.

Nix - Said black persian. His owners keep him in absolute luxury, feeding him tuna every day and brushing out the knots in his fur, but he runs out through his little cat door each afternoon and gets it messy again. Taught Dick how to use that cat door and now they trot in and out of the house as they please. Nix drinks milk at both of their places and scoffs at water. Generally lazy, but doesn’t protest against stroking or cuddling.

Speirs - Cat of unknown origin, possibly stray, always sitting on the fence or on the porch staring inside all creepily without blinking. Has beautiful black and white markings, a real magpie cat. Presents various carcasses to Lipton and sometimes live prey to play with. Once in a while, he lets Lipton groom his head and ears, but no human you know of has been able to catch him. Leaves half a rabbit on your doormat at night so that you can step on it in the morning.

Lipton - Is a huge cat with sandy-dark brown fur that stands every which way in tufts. Got bitten at the hip by a dog and almost died, but his owners didn’t give up on him and he healed with only a small scar as a reminder. He’s really nice and friendly, calm, lets children play with him and curls up on your chest to purr when you’re sick or depressed. Isn’t afraid of fireworks. Has disappeared for two days once and you found him in the shed with the bicolor stray, lethargic from an infection, but mostly warm in a box of work clothes the stray seemed to have claimed as his bed.

Luz - Long-haired siamese cat that keeps running around the house and meows for no damn reason. If you don’t pay attention to him, he tries meowing at different pitches. Seems to understand how conversations work, because he makes tiny “mrow” sounds when you talk to him. Likes to hide behind the bookshelf and wait until you pass by to attack-hug your leg with (mostly) soft paws, then runs off again. Gets crazy from laser pointers and can practically run up the wall chasing the little red dot. 

Toye - Battered stray that got adopted by Luz’s owners from the death row. One of his hind legs broke and healed wrong before he was caught, so he has a limp. He’s unfriendly and doesn’t like to be touched, keeps growling if you pick him up, and he has real sharp claws that no one dared trim yet. He’s a little on the thin side right now, but his new owners are trying to cure him back to health. In the evening, he likes to curl up with Luz in a nest they share. Doesn’t play.

Babe - Ragdoll kitten, isn’t mature yet. Purrs at the slightest touch. True to his breed, goes boneless and soft if you pick him up, and everyone wants to cuddle with him. Once, he got stung by an insect and his right paw swelled to twice its original size. Considers rolling onto his back and batting at your fingers as the most enjoyable playtime. He likes to go up to adult cats and jump on them or eat their food, but they don’t tend to hiss at him for some reason. Strictly indoor cat.

Roe - Slender chartreux cat who likes to groom your hair with his cute pink tongue. Lives with Babe and carries him by his scruff like a momma even though he’s a male cat. Been lost a few times before, so he became an indoor cat too, because his owners prefer to keep him safe. When it’s cold, he tucks his paws under his body and sleeps like a loaf of bread. Eats chocolate whenever he can, fishing out the wrappers from the trashbin when he’s naughty.

Webster - Mostly indoor cat, a white angora with blue eyes. Came from the best breeder in town, is a frequent contestant on cat shows. He even learnt a few tricks from his owner. He’s very docile and practically offers himself when it’s time for his evening brush or a regular nail trim. He can walk on a leash without trouble and wears knit socks without fuss. Stays still when his owner wants pictures. Has a sensitive stomach and pukes on the carpet if he doesn’t get good food, is allowed to sit on the kitchen counter.

Liebgott - Scrawny tabby streetcat that hangs out in Webster’s territory and sprays on the bushes. He and Webster get into noisy fights every week, sometimes through the glass of a window or the screen door. Webster’s owners are upset about it, fearing that Lieb is going to scratch Web’s beautiful face up, but once, they accidentally let Web out on his own and find him and Lieb pressing their noses together curiously. Lieb can be coaxed into a short petting, but he bites when he gets bored of it. Made the neighbour’s Rottweiler howl once by clawing at its nose.

Guarnere - “Tomcat of the block”. Goes out on his daily prowl at night and chases after the female cats, dropping litters around the neighbourhood for the lucky owners to take care of. He’s striped like a tiger and has an M on his forehead. He’s small but can be ferocious when it comes to what he thinks is his. He kept puffing up when he saw Dick a few houses down the street, but he entered Dick’s territory once, got smacked in the nose, and now he’s okay with simply keeping his respectful distance. Is on a special diet because of a urinary infection.

Shifty - An adorable Scottish fold. He’s a talented bird hunter and can jump surprisingly high. Was hit by a car once just when he finally got home from a vet visit, but got away with a few broken bones. He has such sad eyes that it’s a challenge not to pick him up all the time. If you take him into your arms, he headbutts your neck affectionately. Seems to stare at and watch invisible things sometimes, staying motionless in hunting position for minutes. He sleeps with his owner at night.

Malarkey - Used to be a fearful kitten, walking around staying low and close to the ground, but he doesn’t much mind noise now. Gets confused at times when things change, for example, it takes days for him to tuck in without hesitation when you buy him a new brand of food. Has his own basket next to his owner’s armchair and likes to hide there, sometimes sticking his head out and staring warily for a minute or two before settling back down. Sometimes, he wanders into the garage and gets oil stains on his ash-colored fur, so his owner has to bathe him regularly.

Talbert - He’s a gorgeous bengal cat with big green eyes. Very agile and smart, likes to play with pieces of yarn and loves climbing trees. Always greets his owner at the end of a workday by running up to the car with his tail in the air. His favourite sleeping place is under the rosebushes. Likes to lurk around in the dark at night, but sometimes that gets him into trouble, like that time when he broke a vase and got a piece of it wedged in his paw. Dick’s other neighbour, they like to sunbathe together.

Now, who’s who in the pictures below? And which kitten would you take home with you?

Eugene “Doc” Roe

 A slightly longer post dedicated to the “smol” baby of Easy Company: Doc Roe. 

First off, it was extremely hard to find stuff about Roe….anywhere. I’m not kidding when I say this boy deserves the world and barely got any recognition. 

So let’s start off with a photo or two of the real Eugene Roe: 

Eugene G. Roe 

Roe was born in October 1922. He was born in Louisiana. He was the third of five children. He was only educated until the point of elementary school, he eveb took a boat to school. He dropped out while still in “grammar school”. He then worked on shrimp boats and other jobs to help the family. He later worked with machinery and oilers for money as he grew up. 

When the war started, he didn’t enlist for an entire year after Pearl Harbor. He finally enlisted on December 12, 1942 in Lafayette, Louisiana. He had no medical experience, but was trained as a combat medic. He worked hard to gain his spot and was assigned to Easy Company while it was still under the command of Sobel. 

Roe jumped on D-Day. 

Roe was known for being a quick thinker. One story Roe had told his grandson was of a time is Bastogne where he had no supplies and a man had a serious head injury. Roe packed snow and mud into the injury and bought enough time for the man to get help. 

Roe was helping anyone he could, not matter the situation. He ran out into the open during a German artillery strike. He ran out into the open without weapons and dragged a wounded man back. Roe was described as the most dependable. caring person in Easy Company. He was recommended for a silver star but the citation was set aside and forgotten about. He was known for getting to anyone who needed help, even if they weren’t sure how he got there. 

Roe was injured in his jump into Holland. He landed on barbed wire and cut open his leg. He received another purple heart but when and how he was injured was not stated and is unknown.

By the time Easy Company arrived Germany, he married a British woman named Vera. They had started dating during his time in England. They were supposed to be married on June 6, 1944 but Roe was parachuting into enemy territory. (I hope Vera took that as a valid excuse when she was waiting at the alter) Roe came home first and left his wife to cross over later.

When Easy Company was in the Eagle’s Nest, Roe’s unofficial job was to drive the drinks back and forth to the enlisted men. Roe was given a wedding present from Easy Company: a set of forks and knives from Hitler’s personal set. Roe didn’t keep these for his entire life. instead he gave them to a World War II museum in  Baton Rouge, where they were set on display. 

Roe took home a German Luger with a swastika on it. His mother didn’t like that. She scolded him and threw it out into the bayou.

Doc and his wife settled down in Baton Rouge and had three kids. Roe took his children hunting and fishing and horseback riding. Roe had two girls, one he named Marlene after a World War 2 song “Lili Marlene” and one son, Eugene Jr. 

His children said he smoked a couple packs until the day he died. Which was authentically shown in the show along with his favorite type of cigarettes. He also was known to drink a lot of whiskey. Roe always wore cowboy boats and smoked and had a deep tan due to outside work.

Even though Roe was quiet and calm, he made it known not to mess with him. His grandson recalled a time where he forgot to tell Roe he was out hunting and Roe was back waiting for him with a shotgun, ready to shoot whoever was on his property. He was also known for his positive outlook on life. Roe was a firm believer in that everything could be fixed.

Roe worked in construction after the war and was known to figure things out easily with little experience. He was a naturally quick thinker. He retired later in life and soon started reconnecting with Easy members.

After 27 years of marriage, Vera and Roe divorced. Roe remarried shortly after but Vera never remarried. 

Roe developed lung cancer in the 1990s. He fought it for many years but soon gave into the pain on December 30, 1998. (Author side note: this was 2 days after I was born)

His funeral was small and private. But Roe’s story lived on with the rest of Easy, who adored their Doc “Bud” Roe.

Ron Speirs: Synonyms are so weird, because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy, but if i invite you to my cabin in the woods, you’re gonna die.

Harry Welsh: My favorite is explaining the difference between a “butt dial” and a “booty call”.

Lewis Nixon: Also this one: “forgive me father, i have sinned” and “sorry daddy, i’ve been naughty”

Dick Winters: Language is now banned.
