Happy Independence Day!

I thank God every day I was lucky enough to be born a citizen of this country.

The Goliad Massacre

LC Aggie Sith — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:05:04 +0000

This Saturday, we found ourselves doing a bit of traveling to Goliad, Texas. It was on March 27th, 1836, that the infamous Goliad Massacre took place at Presidio La Bahia. Everyone knows the story of the Alamo, but few know about Goliad. It was the scene of the worst massacre in Texas history. There were 342 men murdered, with only 28 men escaping, with the help of the Angel of Goliad, and 17 being spared, due to the intervention of a colonel. This barbaric act by General Santa Anna cemented him as a cruel and brutal man, and rallied the people of Texas, along with the U.S., Great Britain and France, into defeating him and establishing the Republic of Texas.

As per Texas law, fields cannot be mowed until wildflowers have gone to seed. We had a spectacular view of Texas wildflowers:

That field of Indian Paintbrush is like the blood spilled that very day. There were Coreopsis, Bluebonnets, Buttercups, and a myriad of butterflies, including Monarchs and Spicebush Swallowtails. But the surprise for me came as we rounded the corner of the monument:

White Poppies everywhere, as if to commemorate those buried there. Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

Well, here at Hookers & Booze we’ve reached our 1600th comment.

The honor goes to Nicole who said:

Hm. It’s almost like those people who think that if they don’t speak your language all they have to do is shout louder and you’ll get it. They simply aren’t loud enough yet. Soon we will all see the correctness of their ways.

Technically it was LC Aggie Sith who was #1600, but since she writes here, she don’t count.

In Memoriam

LC Aggie Sith — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:24:23 +0000

High Flight, by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air….

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark nor even eagle flew—

And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

The Space Shuttle Challenger desintigrated a few moments after liftoff on January 28, 1986. I know a piece of my heart died that day. Requiescat in pace.

Well, here at Hookers & Booze we’ve reached our 800th comment. While certainly not as good as #400 (and i really don’t think that one will ever get topped).

The honor goes to TheDudeAbides who said:

Or how about shit-eating monkey-fucker?

Hookers and Booze got its 100th comment today. The honor goes to LC Aggie Sith who said:

It’s a good thing I was drinking coffee when I saw that….I would hate to waste good booze by spewing it all over.

Now the 99th comment was posted yesterday at around 11am. I was really starting to think y’all knew I was waiting on number 100 and were just fucking with me.
