One correction:
For grammar nerds and/or history nerds
Those of us who are into history are not called "history nerds"...

We're referred to as "history scholars"... 8-)

Right on brother, we are the normal one it is all the others that are the odd balls.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Meade looks up from his burro with his gold and says where are your Ses. “We don’t need no stinking” Ses is the reply.

Well, one sentence needs punctuation between 'ones' and "it". Furthermore, 'Right on brother' requires a full stop so "we" should be "We" and may I suggest a comma after 'Right on'?

'Ses' is a little awkward. It is likely that 'esses', awkward as that is, may have been more immediately clear. However, the rule is that capitalized letters would be shown as in Ss, while lower case would be s's.

Also, in the movie to which you refer, the sentence 'we don't need no stinking badges' does not occur. The actual quote is: "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" Here is the clip:



There is one final point. Gold Hat utters his lines before he is in possession of any burros laden with gold.

Now I'm happy. :lol:

PS I'm sure you didn't expect to get away with "Happy now Adolf" when it should be "Happy now, Adolf?" :nana

Thanks for the clip; I was hoping that you would do that.

Sorry general even it is based on a inaccuracy it now part of our culture and I for one like “We don’t need no stinking badges” . Ok, I know that I am quoting a quote that does not actually exist, but I like it and will continue to use it. So here goes and I hope you agree, “ We don’t need no stinking” Nazis. Do you agree? :D :) :)

Part of the culture? Mais c'est impossible!
In Frank Lloyd Wright : An Autobiography (1943) there is mention that "A witty Frenchman has said of us: 'The United States of America is the only nation to plunge from barbarism to degeneracy with no culture in between.'"
I don't have to show you no stinking sources!

You like it too hey general? And I noticed that you did not use quotation marks.

You are an odd duck. Why on earth would anyone put quotation marks (incorrectly) in that sentence? I see that you do but I'll not bother to post a correction. :roll: :nana

Ooooohhh O.K. then.

There's a comma missing between the 3rd and 4th 'please'. You could probably borrow it from after the 5th 'please'
