"Mucking Thee Quag" is an old English tradition requiring a small bronze hatchet, the youngest of the Spring lambs, an earthen container known colloquially as a "bloode bowle" and a pint of the finest ale to be had within a five to ten mile radius.

Yeah, but nobody says much about the quagmine.

That's because it so underground that nobody notices it, until you step on it. Then Ohhhhhh Shiiiiiiiiii****** !!!!! It blows ya right up through the quagmire into the hospital. Now that is dire !!!
But of course no one wants to talk about that. They are just comfortable creating a mire where all the quags can settle in for a miserable tour.
I say we rename it. Afnam. -

"Tonder said, "Captain, is this place conquered?"

"Of course," said Loft.
A little note of hysteria crept into Tonder's laughter. He said, "Conquered and we're afraid; conquered and we're surrounded." His laughter grew shrill. "I had a dream - or a thought- out in the snow with the black shadows and the faces in the doorways, the cold faces behind curtains. I had a thought or a dream."
Prackle said "Make him stop!"
Tonder said, "I dreamed the Leader was crazy."
And Loft and Hunter laughed together and Loft said, "The enemy have found out how crazy. I'll have to write that one home. The papers would print that one. The enemy have learned how crazy the Leader is."
And Tonder went on laughing. "Conquest after conquest, deeper and deeper into molasses." His laughter choked him and he coughed into his handkerchief. "Maybe the Leader is crazy. Flies conquer the flypaper. Flies capture two hundred miles of new flypaper!"
