Happy Antietam Day

[Razgovory]

While true, THEM'S FIGHTIN WORDS round these parts.

Same thing in Missouri.

I would show up as a Union soldier and spend the entire time talking to people about how, yes, Kentucky was a Union State.

Same thing in Missouri.

Can't recall if I've mentioned this here before, but during the Civil War Confederate guerillas led by William Quantrill attacked my town and burned down the county courthouse.  Later, Quantrill was ambushed and mortally wounded at a farm right outside town.

Anyway, every year the town puts on a crappy little reenactment of the raid and the stupid fucking slackjaws here all cheer for the Confederates.  Hooray, come rape our great-great-grandmothers and burn our town down!

Missouri Ruffians.  Fucking rat bastards.

The glorious Lyons dealt with the Missouri scum.

Alas, far too briefly.
