Best source on Napoleon’s Imperial Guard:
"Admission will be restricted to men who have performed heroic actions, have been wounded, or have otherwise given proof…in several campaigns of their bravery, patriotism, discipline, and exemplary conduct.
They must be not less than twenty five, between 1.78 and 1.84 meters in height, of robust constitution and exemplary conduct. They must have participated in three campaigns in the Wars of Liberty and know how to read and write." - Bonaparte, The Anatomy of Glory: Napoleon and his Guard.
1.78 metres = 5 foot 10 and 3/32 inch.

I really want to LARP one day. I will create a zealot priest character and demand all other players to commit to the book or die by my sword. I will also accuse magic-users of practising blasphemous pagan arts and insist they be put to death, as well as those damn elves and dwarves (I don’t care WHAT they smell like!).
There will be an ethnic cleansing to leave room for the only pure race. Then I will scream at and attack anyone who disagrees with me, making sure to comment on how they will suffer for eternity for disobeying the word of the Lord.
Bets on how long it’ll take to get booted?[/quote]
You better hope you don’t run into lightning bolt guy.

LARP googled…
… and now I know what those guys were doing in the park the other week!
I would def LARP if I got the chance. I wonder if anyone has ever died LARPING. I’d love to see a headline for that.
Yaba Daba Do.
You said it Fuzzy. “Yaba Daba Do” is right.

You think you can waltz in here after all this time with “Yaba Daba Do”? Where have you been?
On a whim, I bought a Talo edition of the little Ruger .22 — same Ruger you probably had as a kid set up with a 25 round magazine.
Bought four more magazines and loaded her up and took my 8 year old niece out to the ranch to shoot ground squirrels (something you kill when you have horses, for those of you who are city people – the horse steps in the hole, breaks its leg and has to be put down).
The thing is a blast, and my niece is a deadly shot.
Highly recommended.
(I used an AR-15; when I’d hit there be a flash of red as the ground squirrels turn to mist.)
When it comes to women and BBQ, my philosophy is the same; FAT IS FLAVOR!. BOOM!
last night, i had a dream that the boat that I was in was sinking.
so, we pulled it to the bank, emptied out the boat and put it back in the water, and it started sinking again.
then, the chick that was in the boat with us, pulled out a bung in the bottom of the boat to drain the water,
only to have the boat completely sink (duh).
In the dream, I was angry, but when I woke, i thought this dream has some significance in my life.
can any of you help me to figure out what that could be?

What with all this talk of wet and women and bungs…
I believe in my professional opinion that you desperately want to give anal to a girl, or to have anal given to you by a girl.
in a boat.

The women in your life (probably at work) are sabotaging you on a regular basis.

One theory why the Vikings left was Lactose Intolerance amongst the locals. The story goes that soon after landing the Vikings made contact with the local tribes and being good hosts and traders gave away a lot of free samples.
One of which was fresh cows milk.
Of course none of the locals had drunk milk since they were infants, so none could process it. About two hours later the ‘shit hit the fan’ so to speak. They thought that those white bastards must have poisoned us…and the rest is history.
Or at least a more entertaining version of history…which is good enough in my book.

I read that first sentence as “Lacrosse intolerant” which made sense in the context.

That it does!
And another milk related part of the incident…
When the ‘Skraelings’ attacked the Viking settlement, they looked like they were about to overwhelm the defenders. Then one of the Viking women appeared stripped to the waist to urge the men forward, the attackers had never seen such biguns in their lives. It had the effect of stopping them in their tracks allowing the Vikings to man up and save the day.
So what we learn from this is when in doubt…BOOBIES!
