        That was so farby! Everybody knows dead Rebs aren't supposed to speak, it just ruins the whole effect.

        Was that a Kettenkrad there at the end?

          Rich is so right. Dead rebs can't speak, but why wasn't he propped up taking pictures of that amazing display of American history joined through the ages with his cav yellow one-time-use camera?

                  Dead Rebs cant speak? Lindsey, I know of a certain multi-media program that would differ with you on that.

                    We filmed that commercial back in late september, glad to see it finally came out. One of the better takes we did involved a samurai warrior in place of the segway delivering the same lines, pretty damn hilarious if you ask me.

                        This latest Ebay add is indeed quite hilarious, but also frighteningly revealing about the nature of the hobby...

                            Does anyone know what type of animal that is and the feed that it eats? I have checked numerous sources (i.e. LOC,EOG,Hardtack/Coffee,Diaries, etc) but have found nothing. Is this perhaps a captured blockade import?
