OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Gettysburg
« on: April 26, 2011, 11:54:37 AM »
TCM showed this last night.  Probably the greatest depiction of a historical battle ever made.  It is about 4 hours long and Turner lost multi-millions, but it was a great way for him to spend his money.  Turner gave himself a cameo as a confederate officer involved in Pickett's charge.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

It was as to scale as they could get - Turner got as many re-enactors from around the country as possible.
