Soooo now that the mystery of Custer’s pants is solved….is there a possible product tie in in Custer’s future? Some how I imagine Duluth Trading referring to them as being war-proof.

You are a scholar and a gentleman, Crazyman.

Well, it’s a funny story…

In the original script for the this page Custer was wearing GRAY trousers, and FrankenHitler’s original line was something to the effect, “You wear the gray. I was under the impression that men like you and I…” He did, in fact know that Custer was a Confederate.

However, Danilo informed me that Confederate Navy Officers didn’t wear gray; they wore blue. Bowing to his superior reference research, the trousers were changed and so was the script.

In the version that ultimately made it to the page FrankenHitler never says that Custer is a Confederate. He only refers to him as a Southerner, which would be pretty easily surmised when coming upon a guy who just said, “tarnation.”

RE-BLOOP! I guess that’s as good as it gets with these newfangled futuristic firearms. And you’re not raving lunatic, Matt; you’re a bloody genius.

…not to mention he’s wearing blue trousers instead of the Confederate grey. I guess Herr Schickle…err…Hitler-bie has access to information we do not.

How about that the red button appears to have been the safety after all. Though I suppose the real question is how Franken Hitler immediately knew Custer was a Confederate seeing as how Custer isn’t wearing an indicator of rank, allegiance or any other regalia.

At least Frankenhitler is the kind of bad guy leader that is hands on, and not relying on lackeys to do all of his dirty work.

As for the moral parallels between the Nazis, and the American South of the Civil War era, all I can say is that history lacks for no bounty of evil and misguided people. It seems like all you need is a few of the former combined with a multitude of the later and you have a perfect recipe for human tragedy.
