Sorry about this buddy.
I had no idea it would lead to this.
I'll look though my other pics to see if I have anything that would help draw attention from this unfortunate incident. |

Line heard most in emergency room rectal extractions: "I sat on it." Yeah, O.K.
Humor and badgering aside, how about some history of these cannons. |

I nominate:
For the $5,000,000 first prize: "Name's Pachelbel...who're you?"
And, for the $10,000,000 second prize, I nominate: "How do you TUNE this thing!?!?"
The fact that they were both mine made no difference, I assure you. |

Location: south east Michigan | Todd... after walking around for an hour, imagining cannons blazing, guns-a-blastin' and blood spilt, we found out the fort was finished right at the end of the civil war and there was never a shot fired. Oh well. |

They didn't finish it either... |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Fort Clinch was named for General Duncan Lamont Clinch, an important figure in Florida’s Seminole War of the 1830s. Construction of the fort started in 1847 by the federal government and continued during the Civil War.
Occupied by Confederate forces when the war began in 1861, it was taken by federal troops when a withdrawal was ordered by Gen. Robert E. Lee the following year.
The garrison operation was greatly reduced in the years following the Civil War and eventually ceased altogether. In 1898, the fort was reactivated for several months during the Spanish-American War. Today, it remains in a remarkable state of preservation, with a number of surprisingly original cannons, still in place to thwart oncoming invaders from the sea who never appeared, that unfortunately now serve only as an occasional mount by irreverent tourists and other disrespectful dorks.
In 1935, the state of Florida purchased 256 acres which included the abandoned fort. It was the beginning of a program to acquire adjacent lands and begin development of one of the first and finest state parks in Florida. The civilian Conservation Corps was responsible for the initial building and development of the park. It was formally opened to the public in 1938. |
