Blew.

One blew this way and the other blew that way.



Why does everyone in Florida drink Coke?
No more 7up?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

When I was a kid, Mellow Yellow and Mountain Dew were the lemon-lime-like sodas most people drank in Florida. 7-Up was more for mixing alcoholic beverages.

Even here in Appalachia, Mountain Dew is king. Dew mouth is a real thing.

Sherman did nothing wrong.

Destroying factories and cash crops is a legitimate strategy. You sound like Al Qeada crying about their torched poppy fields in Afghanistan.
