American Myths...

[WODIN]

Lets start at the beginning.

The Prodestant Pilgrims: Well the didn't leave England to find a new land to practice their religous beliefs without being persicuted. They were living in Holland before they came to the Americas and were practicing their religous beliefs there with no problems except for one. They didn't want anyone else around who didn't buy into their belief system so they left Holland to come to America because of all the "free land" and their kids wouldn't be corrupted by those damn danes.

The way the dress up pilgrims in all those festive Thanksgiving getups. Unhuh...wrong again. Those are outfits from the Victorian age. They dressed up pretty much in what you might see an amish or minonite wearing these days but with some color. You see dying fabric was a fairly difficult task back then so alot of stuff was black, grey, blue, red, white, basic stuff.

The helpful indians who showed the pilgrims how to plant corn? Well they were the last remnants of a huge tribe that had inhabited the area and were whiped out by good old white mans diseases. Pffft!!!!

They didn't have log cabins either! They built slate board houses just like that had for a couple hundred years in Europe. The Log cabin was a westward expansion phenomenon that came later.

I can't really argue with you, seeing how YOU were there.
It is amazing though how you remember your journeys as well as your clothing throughout all the years.

 

[WODIN]

Just rememeber if or when we ever meet. You sir will without a doubt get a noogie from me! Oh yeah...I'm that good!

I don't believe in Canada.....I think it's just a myth.....

 

[Latimer]

America has a strange fascination with log cabins. Many presidents have used the born in a log cabin angle during their campaign. Most of them were lying too.

Next...

Valley Forge.

That's right the place is less than an hour from my house and that whole worst winter ever story, no shoes, etc...blah blah is a bunch of horse pucky!

Soil samples from the time period show that paticular winter was THE MILDEST one in the region in over 100 years. It was damn near spring like for most of the winter with only a week or two of harsh weather. Sure living in a shitty little cabin outside of filthadelia must of sucked but it wasn't under the harsh weather conditions that are portrayed for the troops.

again, YOU would know.

As far as myths go, we are forgetting something very important.
Wodin, you were there for this as well. When Ol George Washington chopped down the "cherry" tree.
Wodin, tell us what you saw.

 

[WODIN]

It wasn't a cherry tree is was an elm and he lied his fucking ass off. Washington is probably one of the biggest American myths of them all.

No one bothers to mention he wasn't worth a plug nickle and he was courting every rich single woman in the Virginia plantation area like a dog in heat. No one tell about how he dumped the woman he really loved for financial gain and fortune by Marrying martha. That's right the founding father of our country was a Gold Diggin ho!!!

And why do you think I brought him up. I kinda new he was a joke. Just wanted to get the opinion of some one who was there to witness it first hand.
Thanks for clearing it all up.

The next myth would have to be Hawaiin tribe the Woeii. They claimed the rode the first wave at the North Shore, and that Pipeline belongs to them.
