Something's been said about what was the most important battle of the Civil War. Opinions differ on the subject. So, how about battle between a certain intense Southern officer and a fur-bearing carpetbagger?

FUN; and even a little instructive for kids--"Look me up at my Gettysburg address", etc.

I've seen this one before - I think it's a hoot!

If I ever do go to a Pokemon tournament north of the Mason-Dixon line, I'm going to have to use that "burn my boots" line, just for kicks....

90 years ago.... tell us a bit about when this was made...

 

[Bmac48]

The original is titled "Southern Fried Rabbit" and was made in 1953, which explains the "90 years ago" bit. The full, unedited version is here, complete with the great Southern general, Brickwall Jackson!

 

[MRB1863]

...and there are a few who take this as "Our Nation's History"...as seen on TV.

 

[Chattahooch33]

More truthful than McPherson.

Kinda awesome to look back on what we were entertained with. OK, what, with which we were entertained.

Know what you mean! My first video game was "Pong". That was considered high-tech at the time. Compared to the animated video games today, Pong was not even up to stone-age tech.

Know what you're saying MRB. A bit ancient, but I remember when Pong was featured in bars as a coin-operated machine. Put in a quarter and try to avoid that gobbler.

You may be thinking of Pac Man. Pac Man was MUCH more advanced than Pong. Pong had two small rectangles that acted as players to hit a small square back and forth to emulate Ping Pong or Tennis. The screen was black, save for the three moving items.

Ahh, the days of Pong and Pac-Man; besides the WWI plane, shooting down Germans at the Minnesota State Fair, that's as far as I ever got with video games...too "high-tech" for me.

Of course I was thinking of PacMan. It was just soooooo long ago.

"No...it was just a moment ago."

I liked Donkey Kong. And Defenders. And Space Invaders. And Asteroids.
