The European discoverer of "Colter's Hell," known these days as Yellowstone National Park. I always liked Jim Bridger's tall-tale description of Yellowstone, "Where pee-trified birds sit in pee-trified trees, singin' pee-trified songs."
Arapahoe, ....sorry I offended with that misspelling.
Now why would you want to protest being gently nudged back into the fold of the Union? And you've got to admit, Billy T. got his point across.
If Johnston hadn't been so damned stubborn, the alleged "march" would have been more like a stroll across Georgia.
War is hell.
until L&C inc invaded their nations, there were no service charge ATMs everywhere!!
damn white men just screwed everything up!!!
Free ATMs and the women did all the work and the men fished and hunted all day..damn white men thought they could improve on that system!!
Hey, it worked for Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz!
Guess what you've gotten up to this point isn't enough. I smell a money-grab here. Too bad Bubba isn't still in the WH so you could get an apology and reparations!
Frankly, I'm still pretty hacked about the Norman conquest.
Oh, and the Roman conquest, too.
Arrgh! And the damn Vikings and Saxons.
Let's see ... the Danes ... I forgot about the Danes...
"No, worse: 50 cals firing 1300 rounds per minute! It's like a lead fire hose!"
I LOVE IT haha... Thanks for the caliber update... Your enthusiasm reminds me of George C. Scott in a move i just saw again this weekend: Dr. Strangelove... Towards the end of the movie when it was known that 1 bomber had managed to penetrate Russian airspace, but was damaged, partially blown up, the President asks general Buck Turgison if that bomber can still make it through to a target and drop their H-bomb. George C. Scott's eyes open wide and he gets a big smile on his face and says words to the effect: "Mr. President, with a good pilot, they can put that big bird right down on the deck to avoid radar, and the Jet Exhaust will be Frying Up Chickens In The Barnyard!" I love it.
As far as the current Lewis and Clark expedition re-creation, I dont think anybody In their right mind would actually WANT to get out of their boats or canoes while passing through that or any other indian reservation. They arent exactly clean hospitible or friendly places to be. Nobody wants to Smoke or Eat or Chat with the Injuns. They just want to navigate the river through that dark zone and back out to the light zone again.
Oh yeah, remember Kennewick Man too 8-)
You signed up today to post this?
Yeah. Real funny. Let's shoot the indians because they don't want to let someone use their land.
You disgust me.
"Injuns"? Do you mean American Indians? Based on this thread, and other threads you've been on, I only have one question - Hate much?
My bad I thought I accidently clicked on Stormfront reading some of the posts in this thread!
Post on Stormfront often?
SD: I have a co-worker named Colter who can trace her lineage to John Colter
Well, American Indians are the one final "ethnic" group that it's ok to make racial jokes about. Ya know, all the "Tonto", "heap big whatever" "Me-m smoke-um peace pipe" crap. It's ok to call us "injuns" with all the spite, hatred and scorn one wants, but God forbid someone use a derogatory name for some other group...
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of it.
For a while Yellowstone was named for him, Colter's hell.
IT IS NOT OKAY TO DEGRADE SOMEONE'S CULTURE. But nevermind my friend success is the best revenge. Just keep in mind the syphillitic dementia being displayed on this thread is just what happens when someone is faced with their OWN PATHETIC SHORTCOMINGS IN LIFE.
Of course it isn't... unless it's the American Indians, then it's open season.
Not with me. Not with a whole lot of other people. I don't tolerate degredation of ANYONE's culture.
