I've heard it called being "galded". Galding sounds like scalding. Another name it bears is "diaper rash".

I was a spectator and your assement is spot-on, but not just for Saturday. Both days offered the most idiotic and dull "battles" I've ever witnessed. No movement. Point-blank ranges. Few...

Funny how nobody is willing to answer your specific question, but start throwing out alternatives, offering NO opinion of WHY they do or do not like Fugawee brogans. But I will:

Zouaves is mispelled.



So, older not-so-energetic, but able-bodied men not allowed to join?

Just askin'.

But the Hungarians aren't selling it. :-(

Good ridance to bad rubbish.

The real insult is the "gift shop"... what was once a real bookstore at the old musuem. "Gifts" (junk) are interpersed among the books which deemphisizes the books. The store is actually overseen by...

The only Federal regiment I'm aware of that was entiredly outfitted with straw hats on the Peninsula was the 16th New York Infantry. The hats were purchased en masse by the ladies at home and sent...

Now that's what I call progress! When's McDonald's gonna get the wrecking ball?

I think your best bet would be to take the verbiage from an historic arrest warrant and using some of the fonts/typefaces that are now standard in MS Word, create one yourself. If you need words,...

I started out with every intention of doing CS. I even went to events as a spectator, always planning on rooting for the South, but every time I saw that line of blue with Stars and Stripes...

The cat must be out of the bag by now. There is no big secret about the NPS Gettysburg Living History event. It will involve, at least on the Federal side, a fixed camp, formally run with guard...

You are most kind and I likewise thank you!

Also, one thing other thing to keep in mind. You might not think it possible now, but as you grow older your viewpoint will change. As a friend of...

I left the hobby once for similar reasons and I lived to regret it. Before I thought it completely through, I sold off all my stuff in a heartbeat and was gone from the whole thing. I didn't think...

IMO, "Living Historian" is a clunky title and almost as bad as "reenactor" and even more comical. It begs the question, what is a living historian? Answer: the opposite of a dead historian.

As...

I almost fell asleep on a couple of occasions. The performances are top notch, but the overall story was handled in a very dull and hang-dog manner. What really irked me though, as a reenactor, was...

Reenacting has been critisized and mocked by its peers and the public since the 1960s. An angry defense does not in anyway counteract their criticism. Rise about it gracefully before hauling out...

Yeah, right. They said the same during the 125th years. By then all the hangers-on from the 100th anniversary years were putting in their last hurrah and retiring. Not enough young people getting...

I predict the following:

The economy will start improving early next year and into the following years making it financially easier for younger folks to get into the hobby.

Speilberg's...

What on earth are you talking about? I don't care about your health. No one (ceertainly not me) suggested this should have been an immersion event.

I didn't say that power be cut and power lines...

Heat exactly the same as 25 years ago, but people seemed to be prepared for it, so no modern ambulances were running around the field. 148 participants and spectators treated for heat exhaustion, 11...

Planning this far ahead for a non-battle event at the end of the 150th before anyone can see light at the end of the current economic depression? Sounds like a non-starter.

There is a world of difference between...
