Ya know, speaking of "Angel Eyes", I always love it when they have NCO rank on their "shirts" in those '60s Civil War flicks..........although it's rediculous, it is kinda cool. Man, that is still an amazing film, in more ways than one. And the soundtrack is really TRIPPY! Dopes...

yeah I love Ennicio Morricone (The composer who did all spaghetti western music) The guitar sounds are so twangy and awesome... then the crazy chants and shit...

To get back on course here... somewhat....
What about period interests? What I mean is that we study the Civil War. I'm not saying, "what war did they study?" I am really trying to get at what were some of the things they interested in? Politics of course, but then again, you get a lot of people who don't care about poilitics at all.
Music, dances, politics, church, newer ideas of thought such as evolution, any insight fellas... I'm sure we can come up with some things

Tim, Being an old married man, you've no doubt forgotten about such things, but young men tend to study the female form. Really. Who hasn't strained their necks looking at a skinny little stringbean of a modern gal and wondering how fine she'd be in period garb? Yes, most young men attempt to undress gals at a distance with their eyes, yet many living historians will tell you they add layers. (Riley, it's okay to admit you look at contemporary young men and wonder how'd they be in a fine federal frock coat and tall boots. Don't ask. Don't tell.) Gimme a 19th century gal with a big round head, even hair part combed down as tight as d*+k's hatband, an a nice set of breeder's hips, and some udders....ooops....I need to go have some private time with an image of Clara Barton. HAWTNESS!Men tend to talk about two things. One, they know a lot about, and that's bodily functions. Get a gaggle of boys in one spot, and sooner or later pissing, shitting, farting, burping, and puking come to the forefront of high toned conversation. The other thing we talk about is women. Why? If you are 9 or 90 there is no way in Hell you'll ever understand them, and God help you if you ever respond with "Starting what?" if she says "I'm starting." Tim, it helps to read. I'll suggest something we used to do years ago. This has fallen by the wayside. Instead of hoping folks will read the same crap about current (1860s) events, fun stuff like Hannibal's various wins and losses (not to mention Hasdrubal losing his head) and other such happy hoohah, sometimes it is a good thing to suggest a couple of reading assignments and hope the lads can work these common experiences into their conversation. Can't fail with ancient history, Shakespeare, or Ben Franklin, or even Biblical references. Harper's Weekly is a bit overdone, but perusing a few online issues isn't unlike reading the covers of the usual supermarket tabloids while waiting to pay for groceries. Why cast the net far and wide, when a little focus will do? "Say, pard, what is the female woman's yet?""What do you mean? "You know about women. What body part is her yet?""A woman doesn't have a yet." "Yes, she does.""No, she doesn't." "The newspaper says so.""Where and how is this?" "It says right here a prostitute was murdered in Nashville, and the bullet is still in her yet."Period humor had a lot of puns and other plays on words. Some of which take some time to figure out, and are not so obvious as the one above. Carl Arnold is probably the only other person to realize that is an old joke made famous by Justin Wilson.
