northern agitators defeated

NOTE: This story is NOT the same as the one linked on some other sites. This was something we REALLY did last Sunday, not a farce. The article they linked was on April 1st and was in Ohio, this happened in Kansas on 4/17/05.


A friend of mine who will remain nameless hatched an ingeneous plot that was carried out this morning. The mission: to crash a Civil War re-enachtment dressed as a Star Trek klingon. It is a little known fact that the Klingons aided the Confederacy during the war and would've been victorious had the Romulans not interfered and given the Union their cloaking device. I was assigned to be cameraman and security detail.

We entered the South camp first and were amazed at how friendly the soldiers were. They also told us that Abraham Lincoln was a slave owner and the Emancapation Proclamation did not free a single slave. Another guy later told us that if the South had won the war then we'd all be speaking German now. Uh-huh. After our klingon got shot by a musket and had his teeth pulled by an 1800s dentist we watched the battle scene. The South prevailed due to the overwhelming klingon factor. We then kicked around the Union camp with Lieutenant Worf getting another great response and a few death threats due to his aiding the Confederacy. Overall, the re-enactors were really really cool and no bodily harm was endured. Photographic evidence:

Due to bandwidth concerns please visit one of these sites for the rest of the pics. Return in a few days to check the captions. Enjoy!

Sorry to be a party pooper

but I saw this on a

HBO episode of Mr. Show back in 1999.

The only difference was besides the
start trekkies and civil war reenacters, there also a a contingent from the Renaissance festival.

Turned into a 3 way brawl

this Mr. Show thing has been brough up a few times and I wanted to clear this up.

#1 no one involved in this knew about that Mr. Show thing until this was posted on metafilter and someone said it. we still have yet to track it down.

#2 to me there is a big difference between a scripted show where they do something like this, and actually doing it. If every part of the show Jackass was scripted and staged woudl it be as interesting as if they actually did it? no. Thus even with the Mr. Show thing being out there (and i believe it was actually a ren-fest not a civil war thing), this is a unqiue contribution to geekery.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves in the United States, the Confederates (i.e. slaveowners) simply ignored it because they considered themselves outside the jurisdiction of the Union, a point of view with which Ambraham Lincoln disagreed. Any slaves that passed into Union territory were considered free men.

Abraham Lincoln's wife, in fact, owned slaves, being, as she was, the daughter of a plantation owner. Abraham Lincoln had no great love for the slaves, and was just as racist as the next man (be he Union or Confederate), Lincoln simply didn't agree with the concept of slavery.

Oh, and you people REALLY need a life, although I'm very happy to see that you have come to terms with the concept of ''outside''

Four stars, mate. A guy dressed as a Klingon crashing Civil War re-enactments -- this should be the plot of next year's smash hit romantic comedy. 'Tis grand.

Wow, way to show respect for our fallen heroes of the past. While I'm sure it was fun for you, it really is quite disrepectful to all of the real soldiers who fought in the actual Civil War. I think you need to find something better to do with your life besides making a mockery of the men who gave their lives for what they believed in and all those who are dedicated enough to reenact and honor those men. Good job though with taking being farby to the extreme.

gliding and flapping flight. Flapping flight in vertebrates was probably preceded by gliding; in insects it may have
originated by leaping and gliding, by surface skimming on water, or (if small enough) by passive floating in the air

A health insurance policy is a legal, binding contract between the insurance company and the customer.
The largest difference between private sector health insurance and life insurance is that for life insurance,
a person may purchase guaranteed renewable insurance for the whole of the insured's life at a constant
premium rate, while health insurance is generally purchased year by year with generally no assurance of
renewability and if renewable no guarantee that premium rates will not increase.
