kagraves (Kenneth A Graves):
From Article 20392 (292 more) in rec.arts.comics.misc:
Okay, folks, I'll make this short and then remove it from racm, because
Montanans and North Dakotans are like odd, Wonderland versions of Irish
Catholics and Protestants ("Our state is more desolate!", "No, ours is!").
Those of you from gentler climes may not know that the natural born antipathy
between Nodaks and Tannans is deep and ingrained. From birth, we are taught
to spit when we say the name. In elementary school, we learn the critical
pressure points, the insults of honor passed down from generation from
generation.
Suffice to say, I'm not about to subject the net to this sort of horror.
Nope. Nosiree. Not me. :-)
"Thank you for visiting North Dakota. Enjoy Montana. Remember, Custer was
healthy until he left North Dakota."
--an actual billboard put up by the Nodak state tourism
department on our western (Montanan) border

nosaj (Jason M Sachs):
As a rule, from what I've observed, the American captain of industry
doesn't do anything out of business hours. When he has put the cat out
and locked up the office for the night, he just relapses into a state
of coma from which he emerges only to start being a captain of
industry again. But Mr Worple in his spare time was what is known as
an ornithologist. He had written a book called "American Birds", and
was writing another, to be called "More American Birds". When he had
finished that, the presumption was that he would begin a third, and
keep on till the supply of American birds gave out.
-- P.G. Wodehouse, "The Artistic Career of Corky"

pan (Howard W Pan):

"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and
hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival....We shall go
on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we
shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the
beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight on the fields
and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
Winston Churchill
