This is the yellow men fighting the green men (and a snake). You can't really see it but some of the green men are a little worse for wear with legs and arms missing. They have been fighting the snake and rat (which someone snatched recently) for several months and it is taking a toll on them. But in this scenario the snake is giving them a hand against the new invaders (kind of reminds me of something - oh how life imitates art).

Now THIS is wonderful!! I don't suppose you need a full-time minature battlefield coordinator?? I saw some WONDERFUL rats...black, white, pink, orange...a decent rat size...made by JellyBelly. I would pick one up and put it down...pick it up and put it down. I REALLY wanted to buy one but it was hard to tough...even made of sugar...even under wraps, as it were. Was your rat plastic? Edible? How large? These rats were at the foot long corn dog stand that used to be outside Rite Aid every Christmas. Some very...can't think of appropriate adjective...person objected to the corn dog man becasue he was taking up 2 parking spaces that could be used by customers so the corn dog man was banished to the Wilcox parking lot but we found him (Or as is the case this year, we found her.) The original corn dog man was short on neat habits and you were glad for the hot fat which killed some of the germs. A corn dog there tastes awful/great...like all awful food eaten in the right circumstances. If I can I will buy and mail an edible rat. If you can eat it I can send you another. (: Thanks for interesting pictures (:

Not a bad idea (the coordinator) but I think the unscripted method allows people to bring their own interpretation to the stage. Kind of like modern classical music - you get truly awful mixed in with some interesting stuff (heavy on the awful in my opinion). Since the Army stifles almost all originality it's nice to leave this avenue open. It is hard to imagine a rat made by JellyBelly but if you send it I will give it a go :) If is is inedible I could at least leave it out and watch the weathering effects. I have to leave your corn dog discussion to stand on its own - I have nothing to add :)
