What the heck is this?  I've been minding my own business today, implementing plans to destroy not just one but two Japanese empires, and I am victimized by character assassination.

I should have expected something like this from crsutton.  I think it was Harper Lee who wrote, "Maryland is full of real estate agents, politicians, terrapins, beaurocrats and other people of no background."

As for Miller, I'm pretty sure he is presently wearing a sweat-stained undershirt and thrice-worn boxers, with a lukewarm can of PBR on a coaster by his computer.

Other than, I am momentarily at a loss for words.....

"momentarily" [:D]

NOT gonna believe that! [8D]

C'mon, Dan's not from proper Tidewater stock like the Cribtops, but he's pretty refined for a Backwoodsman! I'm sure he has both "His" and "Hers" outhouses next to the still and the primer only, three wheeled Pontiac. Plus I know for a fact his copy of "See Billy Yank Run" has a few small words in it. [:D]

PS - my Dad went to Wofford College, so if Dan fragged that fine Officer I have to challenge him to a duel or something. Maybe AE BB of choice at 10,000 yards.

Wofford is one of my favorite Confederate generals for a couple of reasons:
 
1.  He lived in Cassville, which is just 20 miles east of where I'm sitting.  (He's buried in a country hilltop cemetery, for those of you traveling I-75 who enjoy visiting places like that.)
 
2.  Wofford opposed secession and was politically active before the Civil War.  Like many anti-secessionists, he remained loyal to his state once it withdrew from the Union.
 
3.  Wofford's regiment was part of Hood's Brigade at Antietam.  If memory serves, the brigade consisted of Texas regiments, an Arkansas regiment, and the 18th Georgia Regiment.  When Hood moved up in the chain of command, Wofford commanded the brigade.  Later, he commanded a Georgia brigade. 
 
4.  Wofford surrendered the last major Confederate force in Georgia - at Kingston, which is about twelve miles east of where I sit, sometime in late April or May of 1865.  I think Wofford spent the last months of the war rounding up willing Confederate troops to patrol the area and drive off outlaws and the like.

I knew you would get a kick out of Wofford. My great great great....insert more greats if needed uncle, fought in the 24th Ga and was captured at Gettysburg. When the high tide receeded during the 2nd day's fighting, he apparently was left flopping on the beach and spent 22 months at Point Lookout.

I wonder how RE Lee would have felt about Daisy Dukes.....

I regularly organize barbeuces at public barbeuce places. I tell everyone what to bring, but don't bring anything myself just eating the others' meat and drinking their beer.
When they ask why, I always tell them: "I don't want to show off!"

My secret reason for not participating in the "Forumites" thread is I don't want to disclose the book I'm reading now.  I mean, I just finished With the Old Breed (thanks to the recommendation of John Dillworth) and a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  That's the real kind of stuff that would permit me to hold my head up amongs such august company.  But my wife bought me a novel that had some kind of tie to one of my favorite authors, who died twenty years ago, thinking it was by that same author.  It wasn't and the book is a pile of stinking poo from an overheated jungle bat.  There is no way I'm gonna fess up to reading this POS.  So I'll try to finish it and pick up something impressive before "reluctantly" and only at the urging of the entire forum disclosing my bona fides as a man among equals.

Would that be the same gentleman who was on a TV special about moonshine a couple of years back?

(I mean Popcorn, not Dan.)

Nah, never mind. We know so much already. And, you are proving to be a hell of a lot more interesting when we can fill in the gaps....

One and the same.

Back to Wofford, Dan - I always liked him because of the Hood's Texas Brigade angle. I remember reading Lee's Grenadier Guard about Hood's Texans. Hood has rightly become an object lesson in promotion beyond your abilities, but that was one heck of a brigade.

PS - to the prior poster on the subject, I don't know what Lee would've thought about Daisy Dukes, but I for one approve. [:D]
