Dive back into the basement with Wayne and Garth in this totally excellent 1992 cult classic! In this rewatch review, I break down why Mike Myers and Dana Carvey's iconic chemistry, the rocking soundtrack (hello, Bohemian Rhapsody headbanging!), killer cameos, quotable lines, and fourth-wall-breaking humor still make it a bodacious time capsule of '90s slacker vibes—earning a solid 4 brains even in 2026. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, this comedy gem is party-on worthy...Schwing!
In the aftermath of the American Civil War, personal accounts from soldiers offered raw glimpses into the brutal realities of conflict, far removed from romanticized histories. George Cary Eggleston’s Southern Soldier Stories captures the unvarnished experiences of Confederate troops, emphasizing not just battles but the everyday struggles against scarcity and deprivation. This excerpt from his collection, titled “Random Facts,” vividly illustrates the ingenuity and endurance of Southern soldiers amid profound shortages—of clothing, medicine, ammunition, and even food—highlighting how necessity forged both practical innovations and spiritual resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, where survival often depended on makeshift solutions and unyielding determination.
