Keith mentioned a relative of mine in his lead up to the Oddball segment

General Daniel Sickles is my cousin. :)

1. Why, that's almost as good as getting a shout-out from Keith yourself!

Congratulations, lizziegrace! :applause:

Of course, we all hate you now.

Just kidding.

2. Hehe...

I can't listen to the Star Spangled Banner without feeling guilty that my cousin shot Francis Scott Key's son. :(

My grandfather was named after the General. I have letters from him congratulating my great-grandparents on the birth of my grandfather. He was an arrogant man who was always involved in some kind of scandal.

3. Yeah, well your cousin kilt my relative...

so this means war! (A distant female relative of mine was Philip Barton Key's mother.)

4. Are you challenging me to a duel?

;)


General Sickles was one of the more colorful characters in history.
