RE: Fun Facts About Saint Patrick's Day: Zombies, Civil War, and Gay Pirates
Howdy sir madgoat! I maybe shouldn't laugh at some of this but I couldn't help it! lol. It's all funny and interesting. History is fun to learn from you because it's funny and shows how stupid people are and how we haven't changed much through history! We can relate even if it's from 400AD.
That Patrick quote sounding like Trump is hilarious, you nailed that perfectly! You always do a great job of finding pictures, that's such a struggle for history pieces, at least for me it is.
I’m always happy to hear when people enjoy my posts. I put a lot of work into the research. It’s as much a learning experience for me as anyone else. History never ceases to amaze me.
I feel for you on the picture thing. You’re boxed in by the fact that someone had to have a camera while your topic was happening. I just have to find something funny.

Howdy today sir madgoat! I sure agree about the history and how amazing it is. Did you like history in school? It was my favorite subject so I was wondering if it was the same for you.
English was my major in College and my passion in high school, hence the storytelling. History is my second favorite subject thanks to a funny/not funny story. When my twin brother and I were in 6th grade my brother didn't feel like putting awway his tray at lunch so he just put it on his chair and tucked it away. A teacher saw him do it and gave him a warning. Instead of doing the right thing, he did it again and ran away. The teacher chased him through a crowd of kids and grabbed me. I got lunch detention for six weeks for his crime. They didn't believe me when I said I didn't do anything.
At lunch detention you had to bring a lunch, but I couldn't make a lunch in the morning because I would have to tell my dad that it was for lunch detention and he would have beat the shit out of me. The class I had right after lunch was History. So for six weeks I'd just sit there every day during lunch, reading my history book. It made me really appreciate how history is just a bunch of stories, which also happen to be true, and are usually horrible and bloody.
lol! howdy today sir madgoat! wow what a story, that is amazing and funny at the same time. so you have your brother to thank for your love of history, and your dad too! lol.
