The earliest, "The Goophered Grapevine" (Atlantic Monthly, Aug 1887), is Uncle Julius' attempt to scare off a northerner from buying a ruined plantation by telling the story of the goopher which haunts the vineyard.

A single vowel away from internet immortality.

This is interesting stuff, thanks.

This is awesome.

I would like to formally give Jess Nevins the "MeFi Favorite Jess Nevins" title. He is awesome and I think he's now had five posts about him.
