Stalin's Trafalgar re-enactment


As part of our Trafalgar Bicentennial celebrations, we decided to re-enact the battle using rolled socks. Blue shark graciously stood in for Admiral Villeneuve, the haughty frog who received his comeuppance - hah!

As you can see, Lord Admiral Stalin the Shark took the place, in the re-enactment, of Nelson on HMS Victory (not "Victorious", that's a typo owing to right-wing disinformation).

Our photo shows the two columns of British warships (white socks) approaching the slovenly Frog vessels (colored socks).

However, in the interest of fire code compliance, we decided against sinking or torching the Frog socks, instead throwing them off the bed at the right time.
