From a reader on what he calls the best paper-holding line ever:
“I’ll be cold, dead and buried in the ground before I recognize Missoura’” – Grampa Simpson explaining why there are only 49 states on his flag.
Me: Before this becomes a contest to come up with the longest held grudges let me add that for it to qualify in the way I use the phrase, you should offer a good argument or reason for why you’ve got the grudge. But long-held grudges is as good a Corner topic as any.
