Hooker was also the name of a Yankee general who always had plenty of camp followers with his troops. They called the camp followers, Hooker's. Despite that, it's a fine family name. They were called Hooker's girls when he rounded them up and made them stay in area of town, and allowed his men to visit them at an appropriate time. Great for morale ya know. Fightin' Joe was truly a man of vision, ahead of his time. Grant didn't like him much, though. Maybe he was too drunk to appreciate the Hookers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> "When a group of officials came to see Lincoln about the rumors of Grant's drinking, Lincoln is supposed to have said, 'If it  makes fighting men like Grant, then find out what he drinks, and send my other commanders a case!' ". True story. Unfortunately for the Confederacy, Grant kept drinking. If McClelland had followed Lincoln's advice, Richmond would have surely fallen at least a year sooner.

My avatar is a tight cropping of a version of the Scrap Yard artwork I did a little while back. The master file is called 'Deustch Dogge', which is the German name for the giant mastiff breed commonly know in the English speaking world as Great Dane, or the rest of the world - German Mastiff.

Cool topic.
When i first came to the yard i couldn't think of a name. I was listing to my favorite band " The Deftones " when i was setting up my account. A song called " Knife Party came on. So that was the name i used for awhile.
Last year i changed my name to Left4Dead cause all my friends make fun of me cause im really into personal preparedness , guns , and high end knives. I always joke with them and say " When SHTF you guys are gonna bail out and leave me for dead ".
Doesn't bother me tho im all about hunkering down and standing my ground. My avatar is some traditional tattoo flash art of a pair of brass knuckles , a straight razor , and a black jack. with a banner of the words " Love Thy Neighbor " It symbolizes my love for edged weapons and impact weapons. I plan to get my avatar tatted on my arm one day.
By the way if you guys didnt know my real name is " Nick "
