God I remember one figure would ALWAYS run wide then turn up and head to the endzone.  I am old enough that he was always OJ.

I figure that little plastic guy is doing some little plastic goldman in prison now.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Here ya go, 11B.

QuoteA Washington County man digging a hole to plant a tree in his backyard unearthed a 3-inch Civil War-era round Thursday, the Office of the State Fire Marshal said.

The round, which had never been fired, was identified as a 3-inch Federal Navy Schenkl, with its fusing mechanism still intact.

Fire Marshal officials said J.D. Taylor, of the 17000 block of Powell Road in Sharpsburg, found the round and turned it over to authorities. The round was safely disposed of, the fire marshal's office said.

The office says finding unexploded military rounds is not uncommon in Maryland.

Or any other rounds in Maryland, for that matter.

Antietam is a huge battlefield. I walked it in the Maryland August heat and humidity for hours. It was both great and also torture.

I dunno, I think we should kick Texas' ass every 50 years or so to remind them of their place in the world.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You can be front-line infantry.

Classy.  Why use capital punishment when you can torture someone their entire life?

Can't.  Government says I'm crazy.  Won't let me handle a rifle.
