Some guys just came by on horseback

[taterguy]

They took some of my stuff and burned the rest.



I hate those damn Sherman's March reenactors.

[machI]

1. Do you know Virgil Caine from Danville Train?

[taterguy]

2. Different fucking march

Virgil's stuff was trashed during Stoneman's Raid.

[cwydro]

4. Great song!

[In_The_Wind]

3. Did they have any Pepsi with them?

[taterguy]

6. Why would Sherman's March reenactors have Pepsi?

That makes no fucking sense.

[In_The_Wind]

9. Because they need something to drink.

Do you really believe everything they carry today is only what would have been available on the first march?


Makes plenty of sense to me.

[Brother Buzz]

10. They'd only have had Coca Cola to drink on the first march to the sea...

After ransacking the Coca Cola bottling plant in Atlanta and stocking up, they marched to the sea. Only after reaching the sea, they turned north and ended up in North Carolina, home to Pepsi until those nasty Carpetbaggers bought stole the company and moved it to New York.

[In_The_Wind]

13. As a native of Atlanta I should have remembered that.

I can remember touring the Coke bottling plant with my classmates way back in elementary school.

[Brother Buzz]

5. Were they looking for bow ties?

[trof]

7. I heard they're headed to the sea.

Look out Savannah.

[taterguy]

8. I'll bet you hear a lot of things

[KMOD]

11. Oh no,

did they burn down your arugula garden?

I guess now you grow bupkis.

[taterguy]

20. Cute

Really fucking cute

[KMOD]

29. thanks.

[hifiguy]

12. Did they demand all your lupins?

[kwassa]

14. Sherman's March. I saw that movie.

Pretty good film.

[MrMickeysMom]

15. So long as they didn't take the very best...

La-La-La…La-La-La-La-La-Laaaaaaa

[taterguy]

30. I can't afford the very best stuff

But it was my stuff and I was quite attached to some of it.

[Kali]

16. what kind of horses?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. are they fucking lost?

that sure is some wide detour they took.

or did you move?

why would they re-enact Sherman's March in NC ...?

[Brother Buzz]

22. They weren't lost, they were looking for elusive treasure

They found meager pickings robbing and plundering on their way to the sea so the command historian, Mr Peabody, suggested they head north and look for Blackbeard's fabled treasure.

Unfortunately, the Army wasn't able to find Blackbeard's treasure but Mr Peabody and Sherman became close friends and later, using the 'Wayback Machine', found the treasure in 1996.

[taterguy]

23. Blackbeard probably spent all the money he stole

So I wouldn't count on any treasure.

And he sure as hell never went anywhere close to the red lines on that map.

It would take a month or so to get that far inland using transportation methods of this time.

And why would he? That's the absolute least desirable part of NC.

[Brother Buzz]

24. Dummy, that's why the Army didn't find the treasure; Mr Peabody had another plan

Yes, Blackbeard squandered most of his treasure, but he left a few trinkets behind. Expedition digger extraordinaire, Ransom E. Olds found a cool cutlass and gave it to Sherman, then named a car after him, the Oldsmobile Sherman.

[taterguy]

19. I don't fucking know

That really wasn't my concern at the time.

[rug]

18. Maybe you shouldn't have a Confederat flag waving from your chimney.

[machI]

21. Would it have been an insult if they just left your stuff?

If you know what I mean.

[HappyMe]

25. Had you rushed out onto the porch

when you heard them coming and offered them a tasty dinner and a slice of pie - maybe you would still have your stuff.

[pinboy3niner]

26. taterguy's mistake was not dressing to seduce

[HappyMe]

27. LOL! HAHAHAHA! WOOT!

OMG!


Yup. Some people never learn from the wisdom of the Carol Burnett show.

I loved that show.

[taterguy]

28. Seducing reenactors just ain't my scene

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, except for the fact that their questionable hygiene practices make them rather unappealing.
