Did Twinkie the Kid Himself approve this?  Or was it a liberty taken after his untimely demise--like things running higgldy piggldy at Kentucky Fried after the Colonel went to his great reward?

OK fine, I'll try one  ::)

God bless the crispy golden fried jacket draped over so many state-fair foods.  I love deep fried foods. ;D

For all those who think that Americans are the most unhealthy, I only offer this:  Deep fried candy bars (specifically the Mars bar) were first made in Scotland. ;D

Leo, Jackie would agree with ya on that dipping, as long as it was Ranch dressing  ;D

Myself I just like it with no dip of any kind.  it's just good all by itself

Ranch came ta mind fer me too, but there's a lot ta be said fer BBQ, tartar, and in special cases bloo cheese.  Even mayo will do but i like to mix stuff in it.  Out here they call it "aoli"--but it's jus dressed up mayo (an no no no not that wretched Miracle Whip that AINT mayonaise)  ;)

At the risk of being shunned er shot, April 9th has a big memory.

Appomattox Court House is a village located three miles (5 km) east of Appomattox, Virginia, USA (25 miles east of Lynchburg, Virginia, in the southern part of the state), famous as the site of the Battle of Appomattox Courthouse and containing the house of Wilmer McLean, where the surrender of the Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant took place on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the American Civil War. The site is now commemorated as Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, a National Historical Park.

well there was a few that fought on.  had a Cherokee grandpappy that served under Stand Watie   ;D



June 23, 1865. When the leaders of the Confederate Indians learned that the government in Richmond had fallen and the Eastern armies had been surrendered, they, too, began making their plans to seek peace with the Federal government. The chiefs convened the Grand Council June 15 and passed resolutions calling for Indian commanders to lay down their arms and for emissaries to approach Federal authorities for peace terms.

The largest force in Indian Territory was commanded by Confederate Brig. Gen. Stand Watie, who was also a chief of the Cherokee Nation. Dedicated to the Confederate cause and unwilling to admit defeat, he kept his troops in the field for nearly a month after Lt. Gen. E. Kirby Smith surrendered the Trans-Mississippi May 26. Finally accepting the futility of continued resistance, on June 23 Watie rode into Doaksville near Fort Towson in Indian Territory and surrendered his battalion of Creek, Seminole, Cherokee, and Osage Indians to Lt. Col. Asa C. Matthews, appointed a few weeks earlier to negotiate a peace with the Indians. Watie was the last Confederate general officer to surrender his command.
