Blackheart, if you've got a fury, what year and color; I'd really like to drool over your fixin up a classic like that. I've no talent for things mechanical.
As for General Cornwall: Two references come to mind. 1) American Revolution: General Cornwall commanded a regiment out of Rhode Island. I don't know if he was from England but the chances are fairly good he was. 2) Second best known for that name is from WW I After world war I General Cornwall became a member of the General Staff Delegation at the Peace Conference in Paris, thus endeth the history lesson for the day.

OOH! Fixing old cars and planes! Fun! I was doing that with my father and brothers when times were more stable...Alas, but at least I got good memories of it....and I can fix most of the basic problems of my cars.... Pour me an Irish carbomb! I went and had one (well more) yesterday. Damn they are good!

Nope. But I DO have a lovely old Triumph. He is a muscley old beast that my eldest brother donated to me when it was a scrap heap and we revived the old brute. Its an old '67, if I were on my computer and not the old library one, i'd post some pictures.
The Triumph is in Hawaii, and currently I am trying to renovate the old Hodaka Road Toad....I'll post pics of that one too in a minute. (as you can see, I fancy motorcycles)

Aw, man those old Triumphs are the bomb!! I didn't know you were into motorcycles, Shah! Do you like Nortons? I have a thing for those Rockabilly Norton bikes. A rockabilly guy on a Norton turns me on like nobody's business. My Dad has an old Harley chopper. He absolutely adores that chopper; it's like another member of the friggin' family.
*pops open a Heineken* Beer, anyone? There's Mardi Gras Shrimp here, too, so you guys help yourselves. This shrimp is excruciatingly good, so beware. *Starts peeling & eating shrimps, and dipping the bread in the shrimp sauce*

Nortons are great too. But I love the old Japanese motorcycles. Like Hodaka. You never hear a peep about them and they are super rare. *chugs down some juice* Smoothies anyone?

... eh?
I was thinking about endings involving elves and all I kept getting was this: "...and they all lived happily ever after on the beaches of what would later become spain.... Except for that one incident between Maglor and the priest during the Inquisition." It makes me laugh. Tea please.

Oh, I would so love to see the rest of that which the quote came from. I think those three would have quite a few adventures. Far more than just one run in with the Inquisition!
*hands her tea*
