Thanks, Meyers...truly mind-boggling choreography...unless you think it was spontaneous.

14. Did you mean 1839? That would be the first Opium War.

That's not how we do the Cotton-Eyed Joe in Texas.

Sorry, I DID mean 1839.

As Arte Johnson would have said; "Very interesting///but shtupid!" Here is the real CEJ that we used to dance to down in Texas, performed by the late, great Isaac Peyton Sweat. (Sorry I don't know from imbedding; here is the url. Worth a listen.


Oops! I imbedded it by accident. I am SO proud and happy!

18. McClellan did succeed Winfield Scott, but General of the Army is a mis-nomer. General in Chief would be the title. By rank, Scott was a Brevet Lieutenant General and McClellan a Major General. Grant was the first full Lieutenant General (3 years later) since George Washington had the rank. I'll hazard that Pershing might have been the first General of the Army, but I usually associate it with WWII - Bradley, Eisenhower, McArthur were 5-star Generals of the Army.

14..Geordi not only notices I am off by a full century, but actually provides the correct response to the faulty question that neither my editor, proof reader, nor next door neighbor uncovered. What a class act is our geordi. First Opium War.

15..Now you can't get farther south than Capetown. Unfortunately it is not South Africa's capital. South Africa's capital is totally north of the entire nation of Lesotho. Geordi strikes again.

16..The magazine is in Lebanon.

17..The high-spirited Cotton Eye Joe, which Meyers & zorro provide 2 versions. Vtc is also aware but refrains from giving us a 3rd.

18..I'll go with Knights correction that Winfield Scott should be remembered as General-in-Chief. Vtc & geordi also with good Civil War memories.

19..Geordi is in the right church here. It was the 1st hydrogen bomb, dropped on a Pacific atoll.

20..The very prolific Dick Francis. I'm sure one or more of you have sampled him.

21..In 1886 it was Grover Cleveland, rightly offer VAUC & K9.

22..The free navigation of the Mississippi River.

23..Hah! Mr006 finds my wave length. Say the secret word and the duck lowers itself with 100 bucks.
Love that Groucho.

24..Yes to Spin & Marty. Because they did not have mothers who demanded that they shut the damn thing off and go play outside, Bezz & geordi could stay glued to the tube.

25..Yes, K9, and she survived. With all the high tech toys kids have now, they are no longer saying to one another, "Hey, let's build a barrel and go down Niagara Falls!"

The secret of life is knowing how to make time pass, and we did it again..

15. Beg to differ WC, but doesn't South Africa have three capitals? Cape Town, Pretoria and one more (not Johannesburg). So, shouldn't Cape Town count?

 

[geordi]

I'd like to take credit for it, but I've never heard of the Opium Wars.

K9 is correct. South Africa has 3 capitals. Capetown is the legislative capital, Pretoria is the executive capital and Bloemfountain is the judicial capital.

We're not supporting a house divided. Pretoria has the Prez. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
