Today is the 198th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans. The 1814 "little trip along with with Colonel Jackson" culminated in the early 1815 rout of the British, and ended up giving us this Johnny Horton song. (And the Johnny Horton song ended up giving us this strangely-costumed video.) And since Powdering a Gator's Behind WBAGNFARB, maybe we should dedicate this post to Bill Crider.

That line may have started my fascination with gators.
