Army of the Mississippi Salutations

[Nicodemus]

Gentlemen of the Army of the Potomac <salute>

The Army of the Mississippi offers it compliments!

I thought I'd share with you the battle results between our armies from the 4th Quarter, 2013. There were a total of 11 individual engagements between the armies during the quarter, with our glorious forces achieving 5 victories and 5 draws while suffering only 1 setback. Using Yankee math this equates to a "winning percentage" of 0.682

Better luck next quarter

Dang, just cause a guy likes pickled eggs, pork and beans and boiled peanuts once in a while he develops a reputation.

OOPS...

[R. Sickbert]

Dang, what is that smell? Has Deano been eating pickled eggs and passing gas again?

No wonder there's no one in here!

I do believe Sir...that must be "Gator Gas" seeping in through the cracks of the tavern. I'll have you know Gen. Martin is a fine winded gentleman and I have never noticed such that your fine nostrils claim to detect.

Now if you all will forgive me, I must return to this fine plate of boiled cabbage and ham.

Regarding Deano and pickled eggs. All I know is when on the battlefield my couriers never have a problem locating the commander, they just follow the trail of wilted flowers and the odor of Louisiana Swamp Gas.
