I love how I asked a simple question and got about 1/2 a page of actual answers with 3 1/2 pages of pure Bull$hit! You people are pathetic!

Well, the very first post in this thread makes reference to ZZ Top. I guess the thread went off the rails right from the start!

In other words, one person's amusing aside is another person's pure Bull$hit.

Yeah, Billy, Dusty, and Frank don't umpire baseball last I checked.

And a lot of guys we reference do not also umpire either. I have also never seen a ZZ Top look-a-like individual ever umpire a HS game for sure and I would have to think of someone that did a youth game looking like that as well. Usually most would never look that way in most areas or professions. I also do not agree that the conversation is total BS, when you introduce a topic that has many facets to it and usually it is considered an issue of trustworthiness.

I ran into those guys and their entourage once in Kansas City. They were at a blues club to hear Charlie Musselwhite. Quite a scene, and their entourage (babes right out of their videos and muscle) did not seem to be as into the music as they did.

They were pretty recognizable. I didn't ask whether they umpire.

BTW-You're wrong in your assessment. The southern states DIDN"T want a strong central government. The Emancipation Proclamation only made the slaves in the Confederate states free. A lot good that did then.

Where did I say that the Confederates wanted a strong central government? I know full well what they wanted.

Whether it actually worked or not, the E.P. was intended to hurt the South's economy by eliminating slave labor. (Which kept it going in the first place) It wouldn't have mattered anyway because the South's economy was already in shambles by 1863. Their money was worthless and Europe didn't need their cotton like they had hoped.
