@Mac & Blizzard: That's a disturbingly nice message.

@East & West Coast: I've been to the West Coast multiple times in memory. I have also been to Louisiana and it's respective coastline, but that was when I was something like 1-3, so no memories of that.

I was in Chicago. Trust me, we almost got killed several times. If NYC is larger...

I heard the urine-in-the-boot saying in the Gettysburg movie. It might have been in the original Killer Angels novel, too.

Gettysburg is a pretty good movie.

One thing I hate about driving through cities is all them one way streets. And every other turn magically puts you on the freeway.

Like Boston. And Baltimore.

Yeah, Omi, that sounds like when I was in Chicago. One way this, one way that way. I've also been to DC. It was bad, but quite as bad, at least the area I was in. It was still insanely confusing, though.

Indeed, my friend, it is. I keep meaning to read the books. I have both it and Gods & Generals (the equally awesome prequel) on DVD, but I've currently misplaced them somewhere in my room. Worse, I fear they are in my dreaded old games/consoles/random electric parts for fixing stuff dresser drawer. :/

I nearly ended up lost in DC when I forgot to take the exit to get on 495, and I couldn't cut across the middle to the other side due to traffic. So I ended up on 66 all the way into the city. Luckily as soon as I got off, I as able to turn right around and get back on in the right direction.

This happens when you live without a GPS. :P

Just made what is my largest BF order to date, got some things I've been wanting for a while and a bunch of the new releases.

Awesome! How much did you order?

I still have my order picked out, I just need to stop being a miser about it and buy it.

We had a GPS. It was hilarious. It kept screwing up and ended up trapping us on a road to Baltimore.

I was laughing my head off the whole time. It had this goofy English accent: "Turn. Right. Take. Left. Turn. Around. Take. Right. TURN AROUND YOU FOOL!"

$47 before shipping, so quite a bit.

Nice indeed! My largest order was $70. Most of my others around $50, if I recollect right.
