What I learned this weekend

[mumpish]

So we were at the Stone Mountain Laser show this weekend. Mostly just corny fun, but there's some fascinating propaganda and spin in there. For example, as near as I was able to tease out the narrative from the little cartoon that animates the carving to the tune of Elvis' "American Trilogy:"

Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis

Good grief; the paragraph you cite lays it on pretty thick. Was it penned by a little old lady who never got ovah the Waw of Nawthun Aggreshun?

Edit: paragraph. That's the second typo I've made tonight. Must slow down the typing just a tad. :)

Ha ha, naw man he's narrating what he sees in the laser show. And I really can't fault this interpretation either, although I guess I never really thought about it. Beaker, you have to bring more booze than this into the laser show with you; I can tell you were too sober.

Heh, no kidding. It was perfect weather, light breeze, comfy lawn chairs, few mosquitoes... and no one had a pitcher of margaritas. It was a shame.

He should be bringing some kind of recreational atmosphere enhancer but I wasn't particularly thinking of booze...

Dude, that's not a mountain. That's a bump.
