    didn't Mexico win it fair and square?

    I remember it as "mule fritters," but Col. Potter probably had a few with "mule" in them.

    Yeah, but they gave it up after getting blown out at San Jacinto.

    First thing I thought of, too. Mr. Herman is awarded custody of anything that's in the basement.

    The Alamo? Come on, this is America.

    Remember the Cottonwood! Or the Poplar! (Or the colloquial name for a local Spanish garrison!)

    I don't remember much with mule. I thought it was "monkey muffins".

    I believe you're both right, now that I think about it some more. Mule fritters and monkey muffins. I think he used mule fritters when the patient lawyer tried to represent Klinger's Section 8 attempt.

    It was always meadow muffins in my house.

    One story says Phil has lost his damn mind and believes he lived as past life as someone who fought at the Alamo. No shit.

    Talk about going down with the ship. That's definitely what happened at The Alamo.
