[Grumpy Wolverine]

A batman (or batwoman) is a soldier or airman assigned to a commissioned officer as a personal servant. Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer's batman was also in charge of the officer's "bat-horse" that carried the pack saddle with his officer's kit during a campaign.

The term is derived from the obsolete bat, meaning "pack saddle" (from French bât, from Old French bast, from Late Latin bastum), and man.

A batman's duties often include:
acting as a "runner" to convey orders from the officer to subordinates
maintaining the officer's uniform and personal equipment as a valet
driving the officer's vehicle, sometimes under combat conditions
acting as the officer's bodyguard in combat
other miscellaneous tasks the officer does not have time or inclination to do

The action of serving as a batman was referred to as "batting".

This I am sure will lead into the determination of the definition of "Batty"

There are not many that I would want as my "batman" but I think "Grumpy" would meet all the requirements. In all of my employees contracts of employment, the last line reads "Any other duties as required" I guess "Grumpy" has found the true meaning of the last line I hope I get a real snappy salute in the morning, my boots are polished, my Webley is oiled and my tea is hot! and don't forget my horse!

The salute, no problem....polished boots can do, oiled Webley ..goes without saying and a nice mug up for sure....

The horse however could be a bit of a problem. We let Tyson look after it while you were away. Apparently using a flash-bang to try and motivate the animal isn't such a good idea. I think Tyson was just waiting for the right time to break the news to you.

We did manage to get the BBQ for Wolverine Days set up and tested. The rotating spit works fantastic.

Is the less polite term not "dogrobber" for that job?

Grumpy, that had better not be my horse?

 

[Grumpy Wolverine]

Waste not want not.... It seems like the appropriate thing to do. I have always thought that the horse was the perfect pet. Ride it where you want to go then you can eat it.

Just in case anyone is interested on where to find the nice cuts.
