Aulus, that picture of Herky and Sari wresting in the mud pit is classic. I laughed for so long at that.

Sari: Let me in ya stinkin' board!

Herky: Ya ain't commin' inta MY board!

Just simply classic. Makes me a dewey eyed Celt just thinking about those old days. Makes me want to start talking old-timey. Could I get a hurrah?

And of course, Con is a staple, sitting in the tully, yelling, Let me out ya botches!

By the way, since Xi isn't here, I figured that we could celebrate this once in a lifetime experience by helping the old guy out by giving him a plug. Here is what is on the menu for this day in history.

Today is Sunday, July 8, 2007 which means that yesterday the Roman slave girls celebrated the Nonae Caprotinae (Nones of the Wild Fig). This festival commemorated the time that the slave girls pretended to be Roman brides in order to exhaust the Latin army with unremitting sex. Their celebrations consisted of getting drunk, whipping each other with fig tree branches, throwing stones, and accosting passersby.
