How many of the suggestions made use of SS runes?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Razgovory

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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

What would be the missisisisisisisipi version of the kiwi?

I fear something like a gollywog.

I don't think anyone doubts the evil of the Yankees.

I so so wish we had a "like" button.

Also the name "Confederate Yankees" really just sounds like a way of saying "I'm from the North, but still racist!"

Or maybe someone who's still loyal to the Articles of Confederation. 
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Because that's exactly what it is.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

They have a confederate flag on the uniform.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I think it was an attempt to attract Georgians to see a Yankees farm club.

As a kid I invented a flag for my grandparents cottage.  I love my mom for going through and actually sowing the darn thing.  It featured a giant fish fly in the middle, with alternating stripes of blue and green on the sides to reflect how the lake would alternate between being clear and having giant algae blooms.  :lol:

Mississippi's new flag should pay homage to William Faulkner, by featuring a run on sentence that is virtually incomprehensible.

I am partial to having the flag feature the winner of the siege of Vicksburg...then Washington will not be alone in having the only flag with a human head on it.
