So what were you Yankee soldiers wearing in 1812?

Their proudest moment. I doubt we could whoop'em in a fair fight Chas, you know how they are feared throughout the world, just like the ones still in France.

So who else has managed to burn down the White House? Huh?

Now I remember....

Are you referring to the day Founder James Madison bravely ran like hel....I mean "moved his headquarters" to his plantation?

Sorry, but it's the truth. They got all of the way to Nawlins and Detroit before they met much effective resistance at all. Face it, guys, that is pretty embarrassing.

Didn't King George tell Madison something along the lines of, "It is but by the grace of God that you retain your Independency."?

They conscripted the French.

Madison set up his "Whitehouse for a day" in Brookeville, MD, a small town near both me and Rob. My parents considered buying the old, white frame house across the street from it in the late '60's, but us kids went apoplectic because of its rural location.

That building is still standing, just as you pass the speed camera. BTW that was an Irish Regiment that burned down the Whitehouse AFAIK.
