Things only said once.
I like that tag, but I've only used it once (until now). I didn't create that tag to use it only once. I thought it had potential. Or I wouldn't have created it. Oh, the blog paths that seem open and then are never walked down!

"Things only said once."
That gun's not loaded.

"I, Ann Althouse, just got done voting for Barack Obama." :)
How McCain Lost Me.
"Whatdyasay I strike this here match to get a better look at this silo we're in."
"All these black adders go to sleep when you rub their tummy."

Now you're Pope
Congrats."
Watch this!

Brilliantly funny. Laughed out loud (I don't do emoticons)

True story, too. Union general in the Civil War. (I forget who, or which battle.)
Hapax blogomenon
Nichevo,
I believe that was "Uncle" John Sedgwick, at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. A reasonably good general in a war that had plenty of poor ones.
"Where this division defended, no odds broke its line; where it attacked, no numbers resisted its onslaught, save only once; and there is the grave of Cleburne."[15]
That would be in the vicinity of the Carter cotton gin.
