Shecky

"Shecky" was my nickname in college. I told bad jokes to my roommates and they gave me that name.

Jubilation T Cornpone

Jubilation T Cornpone is a song I sang in a musical called Lil' Abner in my days in Musical Theatre. Its about the statue of a civil war general that stands in the town square. For those interested enough.....

When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Toot your own horn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Tattered and torn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat,
Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "September Morn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!

HURRAY!

When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months,
Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once? 
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone.
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren't nobody's dunce!

Who went re-con-noiter-ing to flank the enemy's rear,
Circled through the piney woods, and disappeared for a year?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Treat 'em with scorn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the missing mountaineer!

Who became so famous with a reputation so great,
That he ran for president and didn't carry a state?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Wouldn't be sworn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he made the country wait!

Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray.
Who was known to all his men as good ol' "Paper Mache?"
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;

sixsideddice

My nic comes from the fact that |I make up most the rules for my games; I usually even rewrite games like Arkham Horror, ASL, Tide of Iron, etc.

Most my rules use six sided dice for most  game resolutions.

BTW, I absolutely love and adore your blog Captain Verbeek.

ciaphas

ciaphas is similar to cypher ie. a name to reffer to yourself other than your own, seemed quirky and clever at the time.
