Lexington and Concord



Above you see a depiction of the Lexington and Concord Battle. If you have noticed I did not start this post with a stupid comment or anecdote.

Now, since I happen to be writing a story at the same time as typing this, my paws are in PAIN! So, we will sum it up like so:

You're Invited! Read this and Learn!

Who: Paul Revere, King George, William Dawes, General Gage and some Minutemen! (No! You do NOT microwave for one minute to get ready-to-fight perfection! This is not Betty Crocker people.)

When: April 1775. (I can't think of a joke. Sorry. I'm being distracted by some carrots.)

Where: Doesn't the title explain it?

Changes/Outcome: The Brits were sent back to England with their Fish'n Chips. The lobsterback's attempt to seize weapons from the Colonists failed, but they won the Battle and marched to Concord, setting the town on fire. The Brits continued marching and opened fire. The Minutemen stood there ground however, and the Brits soon lost, and continued to be shot at and killed all the way back to Boston. 74 British soldiers died, and another 200 were MIA or hurt, while the colonists' losses were 49 dead and 41 wounded. The Brits learned that day that they has misjudged the Americans, and they were willing to fight to the death.

(Insert Ad Here):
Paul Revere: The British are coming! The British are coming! Grab your butter and lemon wedges, the lobsterbacks are coming! What? It's over? Well... okay I guess I could share my feelings. Well, I am so glad that we won this battle! We American are not just helpless little pushovers wait to be... pushed over. Well, what I'm saying is that we are proud and willing to fight as one!

Well, thank you Paul. You and Patrick must give great pep talks.
Stay computing!
