The Midwestrn Soldier's definitions
An awesome progressive/arena rock band formed in England during the early 1970s under Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. When Gabriel finally left at the end of the 70s, Phil Collins soon took over as the band's frontman after countless auditions to find a new lead singer. It was the Phil Collins era in which Genesis experienced its highest popularity and greatest commercial success. The members of Genesis are still together, but their official active career ended during the mid-90s.
With Phil Collins as the lead singer, Genesis was a far greater band than it was during the 1970s. After Peter Gabriel left, future success would prove even better than before, as the band spawned hits including "Abacab", "Turn It On Again", "That's All", "Invisible Touch", "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Jesus He Knows Me", and "No Son of Mine".

Get the Genesis mug.A cool Midwestern city in North Dakota, and is the largest city in its respective, previously-mentioned state. The city isn't a bad place at all, in fact, there is plenty of evidence to convince people that it isn't.
First of all, Fargo, ND had a population of just over 60,000 in 1981. Now, more than two decades later, the city's total population has soared to well over 90,000. If Fargo was so horrible, I don't believe it's population would keep steadily climbing.
Secondly, Fargo has plenty of access and transportation. With the Hector International Airport and the small metropolis' location along Interstates 29 and 94, the city is easy to get to.
There are also plenty of attractions, including , a historical village in West Fargo, horse ranches (see also dude ranch), a musuem dedicated to flight and aircraft, the Roger Maris Baseball Musuem, the Thunder Road Family Fun Park, the Red River Zoo, and the Red River Valley Speedway (Stock Car racing), as well as the FARGODOME, an all-purpose exhibit hall and arena that features numerous concerts with well-known bands, festivals, circuses, and several sporting events.
Fargo also has plenty of shopping centers and malls, especially with the ones in the adjacent sister city of Moorhead, Minnesota. The largest of all of these Fargo malls is the West Acres Shopping Center with over 120 stores and a massive food court. The second largest is Southpointe Mall with 18 stores and is newly-built.
Fargo, in my opinion, as well as those many others, is an awesome city, and sounds like a great place to raise a family.

Get the Fargo mug.A great song by Chicago The Band. It is the first track on the 1980 album "Chicago XIV" (or Chicago 14).

Get the manipulation mug.The very noticeable feature in the center of a person's face that enables one to have the sense of smell. When a person has a cold or allergies, this sloping facial structure usually gets the worst of it. Noses come in various shapes and sizes, some big or small, others fat or long and skinny.

Get the Nose mug.The poor, lovely girl who absolutely cannot help the state she is in. She is obviously conscious, as she can follow movements with her eyes, and has the ability to respond in her own ways. She is NOT completely braindead. If she were, her bodily organs wouldn't even be able to operate, and she would subsequently die, not to mention she couldn't respond to anything in any way, shape, or form.
However, this woman has managed to survive like this for 15 long years, so her brain is obviously functional. Now, that mustached-prick Michael Schiavo wants her to just die, and her feeding tube was taken out roughly four or five days ago. This has turned into a massive controversy, now involving the government in Washington. Of course, George Bush's appeal for Terri's life was denied by those who not only support ending lives, but hate Bush as well (what a coincidence).
Hopefully, with a miracle, or actions by people with COMMON SENSE, this disabled woman's life will be spared. Hey, Democrats are Nazis; I totally agree, these liberals are supporting murder! What's even worse about this is they're murdering her SLOWLY, through starvation.

We must take action to save Terri Schiavo's life, or she WILL die painfully, and others in her condition will probably have the same things done to them; especially those who have no wills written out.

Get the Terri Schiavo mug.A large group of soldiers that forms the main body of an army. The infantry first truly came about with the miltary development of the Phalanx in Ancient Greece; This was a large, tight square-like formation of Greek soldiers carrying shields and very long lances that marched towards the enemy. These formations would continue for over two millienia, where soldiers would be organized in closely-formed lines (rows) and columns, and these which would gradually grow away from the thick, square-like formations into longer and thinner lines and taller, narrow columns. This move away from block-type formations allowed the infantry to have more movement and flexibility.
Infantry tactics and weaponry would continue to develop through the many centuries. The greatest era of the infantry was during the more-than-a-century long period from the French and Indian War (Mid-1750s to 1763) all the way to the Franco-Prussian War (1870). During this time, warfare saw the move from musketeers to riflemen, and also regular cannons to rifled artillery, as the process of "rifling" not only applied to battle rifles, but to artillery guns as well. During the greater part of the 19th Century, infantry tactics became known as "Napoleonic Tactics", named after the great Corsican general who catapulted all the way to Emperor of France, and eventually the temporary ruler of most of Europe. However, with the introduction of more-lethal rifled and repeating weapons by the time of the American Civil War, the tactics involving long, 2-3 rank battle lines of soldiers and tightly-packed formations in rows and columns marching in unison would have to change.
By the time of the Spanish-American War, tactics would change, as platoons, regiments, and battalions would find newer and less-dangerous methods of approaching and defending against the enemy. Today, infantry is truly different in the means of its tactics, weaponry, and the fact that they use vehicles, too. The infantrymen on military jeeps and trucks are known as "mechanized infantry". The infantry still makes up the major part of armies, and are included in both the Marines and the Army.

Get the Infantry mug.The great leader that all the liberals attack, many by getting on this site and posting hate speech about him. I wonder if they'd even try to say it to his face.
A large number of these whiney bitches who bitch and complain about Bush just because he is the president for the SECOND term probably didn't even go and vote.

Get the George W. Bush mug.
