An Ancient Conflict: The Blue vs. Green Tent


Last night, Harry showed up and set up his group's (inferior) green tent.

This conflict has been going on so long, some would call it ageless. Back around 72 AD, when the Colosseum in Rome began construction, some enthusiastic peasants began camping out for the first gladiatorial event, one in which Gerard McNamaximus would face the Uconnian Empire's greatest warriors.

As you may suspect, there were two main "tents" originally made from animal skins. Little to the peasants' knowledge, the wait turned out to be about 8 years, and tensions rose. As each tent added complicated stone technologies to stay warm, battles over those materials escalated into full out wars.

So, here we are in AD 2007, and the conflict is far from over. Just last year, someone from Harry's group decided to yell "blue tent sucks" and, well, you'll be sorely missed, Richard.

That's all for now. More of this story to come.

Peace,
Menotti
