But why did you reject me so quickly Page? Was it my Old Country thread? I was hopped up on moonpies and mountain dew last night and depressed.

Let's be honest. We're both just jealous because he is a rather handsome and distinguished looking man. His gargantuan head not withstanding

It is too early in the thread to Mark Solved. I will wait for Sui Wind to weigh in.

I tried to befriend Page but was rejected. I respect that.

Wilbur has the best avatar. Page seems the most engaging and erudite. A poor man's version of Thaddeus. Alphonso seems gay but mean spirited. Tigwelder 42 appears to not have her heart in this. Perhaps following Alphonso. All are more valuable than Krazy but less than a Pokey.

Let me get this straight. You willingly post this picture and yet you're comfortable enough to toss rocks my way?

:( I don't like the word fire. I watched the Sons of Liberty.... the British had snappy red coats and would stand in a line allowing us to flame at them at will. That was cool. General Gage's wife was also hot.

You're always talking nonsense.

Silly is mean. If I had a musket gun I'd flame a round in his ass.

Not in Greenville. :(

Of course. Chairlifts are wonderful!!! I once got a kiss from Jodi on the Bat Cave chairlift. I think that was the Genesis for my lifetime affinity for chairlifts.

British or French flotilla? Is it true the British navy now leases their ships from Carnival?

Fair enough. Greenville's monument to the French and Indian War will be magnificent, include monorails, and offer chocolate bread for sale.

What does any of this have to do with the demise of Detroit? :(

It is sad that y'all have bigger monuments dedicated to insignificance than to the French and Indian War. I'm going to see if Greenville will build one. It would be grand but we would have to make up some tie to the war.

I complimented you too and refrained from mentioning your gargantuan head

Costco sells a wonderful chocolate bread. It's delicious but I'm not sure what it's made from. It tastes like chocolate however, is reasonably priced, and I've never seen it elsewhere.

This sounds worthy of more discussion. A bikini trail as it were. Sounds too good to be true.

So this chump Perry has a bigger monument dedicated to him than anything ever built to commemorate the War that led to our independence?

TK, because you're a man of means you should head up one of those Internet funding sites to raise $ to build a proper French and Indian War memorial. People just donated 300,000 to the bum who walked to work for 10 years. It should be gigantic in scope and humiliating to the French.

That looks interesting. What is it?

^ Yes, but what about his family in England or the Queen insisting his remains be returned to England and properly buried at home? British hero returned home..... And this was at a time when England was a first world country before becoming irrelevant.

"The Braddock Road remained the main road going west for a long time. Our first federally funded road, the National Road, runs parallel to it from Cumberland to Uniontown, Pa. At Uniontown, Pa. Braddocks road goes up north toward Pittsbugh and the National road continues on to Wheeling, West Virginia. In 1804, road workmen discovered human remains in the road where Braddock was supposed to have been buried. Officer’s uniform buttons at the site indicated it to be General Braddock. Some remains were kept as souvenirs. When the local magistrate, Andrew Stewart, heard about it, he ordered the remains be returned. However, hand bones made it to the Peale Museum in Philadelphia. P. T. Barnum even got into the act and purchased the contents of the museum, moving it to New York City. A fire in 1864 at his museum, finally destroyed the artifacts. A section of General Braddock’s vertebrae is also reported to be in the Walter Reed Hospital collection. So his grave did end up getting desecrated after all his soldiers efforts that it wouldn’t be. The recovered remains were re-interred on a small hill next to the road and in 1913 a marker was placed where it stands today."

I like the story of General Braddock being buried in the road. Forgotten, then unearthed 50 years later. Some of his remains were buried again where there is a monument today. Somehow P T Barnum got a hold of his foot, or something and kept it at his New York museum until someone set flame to the museum in the late 1800s. Let's be honest, we were a bit disrespectful to one of the most distinguished British generals of history. Not there is really anything wrong with that mind you but it is humorous in a Benny Hill aristocratic British way.

Setting flame to a house sounds more romantic like Endless Love or when the British set flame to the White House. When you set fire to a house it just seems like you're going through the motions.
