It was someone's USENET tagline for a while. A quick Google for it says Mike Chary, and he credits Dave Spensley:

"I bought the Star Trek chess set and the Civil War chess set. Now I have the South fight the Klingons." -- Dave Spensley

Thank you for that bit of scholarship. I see Mr. Spensley using it in his own sigfile at least as early as 21 August 1994.

I wonder whether people will be retelling any of my jokes seventeen years from now.

P.S. Why must Google Groups be so unreliable?

The problem with having the South fight the Klingons is, who do you root for? :)

As a southerner, lemme just say that's an easy question to answer.

Definitely the Klingons.
