Bruno Kirby Has Risen from the Grave
Don't forget; tonight's the night that we'll all be dialing in to It's Your Call with Lynn Doyle between 8:30 and 9:00 PM to test the psychic abilities (and patience) of Lynn's guest Joan Marie Whelan. Before you start feeling sorry for Ms. Whelen, be sure to check out her fees for her various "services".
Remember; although we're calling to challenge Ms. Whelen and to take Ms. Dole to rask for never balancing her "psychic" guests with skeptics, be polite!
That Number again is 1-877-CN8-LIVE. Head on: apply directly to the forehead.
Yesterday, I suggested that those of you who might be interested in my hobby of collecting 1/72 scale plastic soldiers should consider purchasing some Persians or Hittites (as well as possibly getting a life). Today I'd like to pitch another ancient army to you: The Carthaginians.
Sure, you know that the Carthaginians used battle elephants (and you probably knew that the few elephants who survived the trek with Hannibal across the Alps died shortly thereafter, but do you know what method the Romans used to counter a herd of charging elephants? Flaming pigs. Elephants apparently go apeshit at the smell of burning swine flesh (how someone figured this out is anybody's guess), so the Romans would cover pigs in pitch, set them ablaze, and steer them towards the enemy's pachyderms. Imagine recreating that in 1/72 scale. Shit Luther, the Punic Wars where the most PETA-unfriendly wars ever.
Of course, another reason to collect Carthaginians is that they practiced child sacrifice.
Like Sioux Indian and Free Gifts, Crazy-as-a-mule-turd Bill O'Reilly Fan is a redundancy. Here's actual footage of one in the wild:
