What was the score last time around? What kind of numbers are we talking about here?

Subject: Soft US Army Dear Ma and Pa: Am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Army beats working for Old Man Minch a mile. Tell them to join up quick before maybe all the places are filled. I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. but am gettin...

Would you believe that some of those pre-antibiotic concoctions actually WORKED? Antibiotics are actually a very recent invention, on par with television. The infection that I used to thank my lucky stars for because it meant not having to go to school for A DAY or TWO would have killed me DEAD befo...

Personal opinion here. I doubt that I have any great insights into this matter... I doubt anybody has anything unique to say on the whole matter. I prolly ought not to post this for that reason. I like the point that was raised about what would happen to the citizens of Israel if the country were to...

Heh. My project car is a 1968 Pontiac Catalina with a 455 engine, bored out to 462 cubic inches. The Cheshire Cat is cammed for torque rather than speed however... needed to get that 4800 pound monster moving. :) And it'sa body-on-frame vehicle. The only electronic item in her is the pertronix elect...

Reckon Pop can fix his truck?

I just found Nip and Tuck today. Vince Suzukawa and TK Dye are crossing over their strips (and throwing the Pawpets in as cameos), which caused me to see how things were going over on pawpets.org, and they had a link to your story of when the pawpets came to Malarky county... I've gotta read the arc...

Said Aris Katsaris... "Though in my (simplistic) point of view, it all leads down to "Them damn Northerners didn't have a right to tell us we can't keep slaves." To which my response is: "Yes, yes, they did. And they do still. If you want Alabama's (or whatever's) governor to reinstitute slavery, th...

I find it interesting that Stu is among those defending the cigars. Perhaps he realizes that The General is going to mess up his world, that in this case, a successful bid for independance by the South would be a Bad Thing. I understand Harry being there. He's former military. Will is a good choice,...

Is that Rikk or Will who suggests leaving Stu behind, and that nobody would miss him?

Sounds like something Will would say... and if so, is it motivated by his feelings for Jackie?

Hrm. How could they have avoided the Civil War... I'm gonna try my hand at being Turtledove... Well, on the front end, the South was convinced that the North was "out to get them" in a number of ways (some real, some imagined). Had they played it conservatively, and waited to see just what this new ...

Actually I meant that he wouldn't be "classist", not that he wouldn't be racist. Stu could easily be racist... perhaps even with good reason. But no, I meant that he wouldn't accept the "Landed Gentry" as leaders and the common folk as followers just on basis of class. And sure there are hills in Mi...

Well, he isn't socialized satisfactorily up to LATE LATE 20th century standards, true... but would he have been kicked out of the club if this were the early 80's? 70s? 60s? 50s? But even if Stu doesn't exactly have an enlightened view of women, he's still a product of modern society. I don't see hi...

Ah, CRAP! Stu. His accent. He's from the South. He's a SERIOUS security risk to this mission. How do I know? Because I know that if I were in his shoes, I would be SORELY tempted to try and stop the Civil War, and bring about a better history than one where either side "won." It's just possible he m...

Wanna talk about the Bill of Rights? They've been weakened incredibly. There are exceptions to darn near every one of them, except for the one about having to quarter troops.

Amen, Matt. I agree with most (if not all) of what you say. Hey, I went to Tupelo High, and did a couple of years at ICC. I did some scrounging around and come up with some links (and comments) that some of y'all might find informative. If not, well... sorry. Don't mean to spam. (and I love FAANS, t...

Interesting. I'm from the MidSouth. That's MS/TN/AR to y'all. I've grown up all my life never more than an hour from SOME Civil War battlefield. The entire region that I consider "home" was collectively guilty of treason, once upon a time. The "Radical Reconstruction" the South underwent has shaped ...

DAMMIT! You are borrowing trouble just by posting this here! Who *cares* what the fur/non-fur ratio is on some forum for a comic that has almost nothing (do muppets count?) to do with anthro content! I wish my fellow furry fans would show some restraint and not go all activist when somebody points a...

Looks like she has a black eye. I suspect she was just beat up, some. Pistolwhipped, maybe?

The General made the comment "Not everything you see here is evil" or something like that.

And she cured Shanna's mom.

Is she really one of the bad guys? And is *STU*? Does that comment apply to him?
