Capt. Graswich,

You put me in mind of one of Lincoln's great <i>bon mots</i>. When a critic of Gen. Grant complained that he was a drunkard, Lincoln replied that "if I could find the brand of whiskey Gen. Grant drank, I would distribute it to the rest of my generals." [:p]

Regards,

Paco

Paco,

Speaking of Grant it is my understanding that President Grant was extremely fond of cigars, but Mrs. Grant was not. So President Grant would leave the White House and go to the lobby of a nearby hotel to indulge in a smoke.

It wasn't long before people looking for favors picked up on this and would furnish the President with his favorite cigars with the hope of bending his ear.

Thus was coined the now infamous term, <i>"lobbyist"!</i>

Cheers,

Captain Jon Graswich

Hi Jon,

I was planning to start forming teams but unfortunately Drew Stone(French Guards) seems have vanished from the planet. I don't have the list of the French players so without this list no teams.
I hope he reacts soon.
