Oh captian, my captian!

Orinally a poem post Civil War that makes a metaphor comparing Lincoln to a captian of a boat who dies at the end, the phrase became famous from the 1989 movie "The Dead Poet Society" staring Robin Williams.

American Samoa

A small group of islands in the Pacific aquired by American in a pact with Germany. No one really knows exactly where it is, who lives there, what language the locals origanlly spoke before we showed up or that the capital is Pago Pago. The only time anyone pays attention to it is when some one is doing a special on sweat shops because apparently that's what drives it's economy.

General Lee

The car form the "Duke's of Hazard" TV show. It's a 1969, Dodger charger with altered engine, the number 01 on painted on the sides and the doors welded shut like a typical racing car. It was named after general Robert E. Lee, commanding general of the main Confederate Army during the Civil War. His army was based out of Virgina due to it'd large population. This would account for the car's Rebel Flag paint job and it's horn that played the first few notes of "Dixie". The car's main purpose was to drive really fast and do a lot of sweet jumps while the duke boys hooted and hallered.
Let's watch the general Lee jump another dip
