Capt. Sterling Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Okay, this is too funny because it is so true ... Edited May 6, 2009 by Capt. Sterling "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackjohn Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hilarious. I seem to recall there was one New England regiment that began the war wearing RevWar uniforms. I'm not a CW historian in the least, but I do recall seeing it in an Osprey book. I think the explanation had something to do with them being a sort of ceremonial militia regiment who wore Rev uniforms at the start of the war until they were issued "modern" equipment. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 They should have named Phil "Francis." That would have been really funny. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graydog Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I shan't watch this again becuase the main Union character is carrying an out of period trapdoor rifle. The segway was spot on though. Most people don't understand that the segway was introduced in May of 1863 by the Union Army. It provided a brief moment of surprise but this moment was lost after discovery that nobody had invented a way to recharge the batteries in the field. The largest failing of the segway and its ultimate demise was during the Battle of Chancellorsville when after maneuvering to a brilliant position the heavy brush rapidly depleted the batteries. Even though that flank of the Union Army was in a position to deliver a killing blow against Stonewall Jackson's troops the segway's being out of power stopped the advanced. When American troops retired screaming "We need more Segways" there was a complete misunderstanding what they were saying as that Union Corps only spoke German. Thinking they were yelling the flank had collapsed the rest of the Union Army retired, there-by losing the battle. From that moment on segways were not used and German troops were seen as unreliable and given the nickname of the Dirty Dutch. Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
