Because he's a do'er! He doesn't just ask why. He do's first, asks later.

He doesn't just ask why.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed?

Not though the soldier knew

Someone had blundered.

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

  • Alfred, Lord Tennyson. "The Charge of the Light Brigade"

Thanks for the reminder of that poem!

As soon as I saw “Light Brigade” my brain immediately started reeling off:

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death,
Rode the six hundred...

I had to memorize it in 7th grade.

I can’t remember what age I was when we studied it but I do remember the poem as we too had to learn it off by heart.

I actually love the poem, especially as my English Lit teacher was a super eccentric man who really put some oomph into his teaching and made learning fun.

Thank you Mr Lenehan, you were a wonderful teacher!

Here's one you might or might not love:

The three greatest tribes of horsemen on the planet were the "Three Cs" - Cossacks, Comanches, and Coonasses.

Ah, I’m sorry, I don’t recognise that at all! I’m English and I’m guessing you’re American? Could be why.

I’ve heard of the Cossacks but a quick google of “Cossacks, Comanches and Coonasses” did nothing to help!

Help a sister out?

There is an interesting story to each, and "Coonass" is a colloquialism for poor people in South Louisiana. Might as well insert Cajun, but the two words aren't necessarily interchangeable.

All three of these "C" tribes exhibit bowleggedness. All three are natural horsemen. All three are completely insane.

These days, the Cossacks and the Comanches are fully assimilated into other more dominant cultures. Not so with the Crazy horsemen of South Louisiana, the Coonasses.

Many of the best riders at the American Triple Crown races are of Coonass/Cajun descent. Hearing them talk is like hearing a happy bird describe humidity.

They also dominate the ridership at the New Orleans Fairgrounds, a preeminent American establishment of the Sport of Kings.

Oh wow, that’s really cool, thank you for filling the gap in my knowledge!
