So what is a Civil War Reenactment?

[BettyPoop]

The Confederate soldiers shoot each other in the butt with blanks, lose the battle, then go get drunk?

Depends on the battle they are reenacting. They didn't lose them all. But, yes, it ends with beer, and probably in the company of the Union reenactors--which is a good lesson for us all.

Occasionally handjobs occur.

Precisely. It wouldn't be war without a reach around now and again.

In my opinion, a big fucking waste of time.

The reach arounds and the beer help, I suppose.

It's like an ordinary war reenactment, but they all shake hands at the beginning and stop for tea at 4.00.

Never before have I thought I might have an interest in civil war reenactment.......interest piqued.

You have to check out the comedian Kyle Kinane's routine about getting a hand job at medieval times.

Civil War re-enactors are posers who pretend the Rebels had shoes and tents and uniforms and food.

I told my re-enactor cousin I'd stop laughing at him when he stuffs a kitten with cornbread, bakes it, and eats it at one of his 'battles.'

Quite. Like the Napoleonic retreat from Moscow, where the men killed their horses and then sat inside their steaming bellies amid the entrails, for warmth.

LARPing without imagination.

Hey as recently as WWI people would stop their shit for Christmas!

 

[Hard_Rom]

Real hardcore to do re-enactments in winter.

Super kind of geek to do re-enactments.

Remember it? I used to work at the one in Orlando, FL once upon a time.

It's still there. http://medievaltimes.com/

There's a documentary and I think another movie about that. One of them is called "A Christmas Peace." It's uplifting and very sad at the same time.

Then you REALLY have to check out Kyle Kinane's MTs getting a hand job there comedy bit. It was on youtube.

Truly, wars that end with beer and as friends would be infinitely superior I think.

And definitely better than a Cold War reenactment, which involves both sides completing it in bitter silence whilst avoiding eye contact with each other.

The Rebels had shoes and tents and uniforms and food for most of the war, the beginning they didn't really have uniforms, and the end food and tents and what-not were becoming a problem. But if they didn't have food at the front-end they'd have lost a helluva lot quicker.
