Hey! Ft Lee is down here on the Appomattox! I have been there! I should know! If you like, I'll call it by its original name, Fort Constitution.

I started this book on Saturday and finished it today. It's about the Continental Army under Washington in the turbulent year of 1776, but also includes the point-of-view of the Brits under William Howe and civilians. It starts out at the Siege of Boston (which did start in 1775, but that's beside the point) and follows the army from there until our victories at Trent

His speech, I'm afraid, has been delivered. And it was exceptionally boring. It was better than the valedictorian's, I'll give you that. But any higher compliment you will have to drag out of me kicking and screaming.

After some debate, much voting, and several tie-breaking decisions, the results are in! I doubt that any more votes will be cast, so I just created the list from the votes we have now. Now, the diversity of the votes was so great that we ended up with severeal ties. In fact, only the number 1 spot wasn't in contention. So, while you guys are responsible for who is in

If he is human, then I'm, well...also human. All joking aside, I do agree with you that it was unfair and more than a bit incompetent on their part. I was most certainly surprised, and those who sat around me in the ceremony said about the same things you said. Well, feel vindicated in the fact that you missed it by less than .1 percent. By the way, I can help you if you want to add a subtle comment about it in your speech. My special

10 people is a hard choice with so much history tho... I know. That's why I decided against making my own, and instead made it a vote. I could spend my entire life coming up with a Top 10 Americans list and never be completely happy with it, but this makes for a nice blend of opinions. By the w

It's certainly better than Discovery Channel's, though I do question a couple you put up there. Ray Kroc, for instance. I mean, sure, he started the McDonalds chain, but is that even a very good thing? Not to whore out my articles, but I started one where people vote on who they think is the greatest American, and I'll compile the list of Top 10 Americans after a bit, in case you're interested.<a href="https://forums.joeuser.com/Forums.aspx?Fo

NJ you have to save the pic and edit it with a photoediting software, then save it to a webspace and then link it through the image button.. Oh. Well, I don't think I'll be able to do that (I'm rather computer-inept, and have no photoediting software). I guess it will just have to remain a mystery to al

I wasn't. I mean, come on. He's a celebrity. Frankly, how could he not get off? I'm fairly certain he's guilty, but no, not surprised at all.

Okay, okay, this is quite enough. These childish shenanigans have indeed been amusing, but we must put it behind ourselves now and truly start acting civil here. You jerk-faces.

I just downloaded a spell checker for IE, so hopefully my spelling will improve! And deprive the poor Fazz all his fun?
