I don't know any other American kid who read Asterix. <br /><br />Now that I actually know the history, it amazes me how much detail they had in those books. Remember how all the older Gauls won't even acknowledge they've heard of the city of Alesia? Fucking crazy. I think I'm a classics nerd in part because of those books. <br /><br />Next time we are together lets make it our goal to find some boar and cook it up right.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133484324105328647.post-87091355481963106222010-12-31T09:27:21.674-05:002010-12-31T09:27:21.674-05:00Wikipedia is a wonderful source of misinformation ...Wikipedia is a wonderful source of misinformation seemingly malignantly designed to tank undergraduate research papers.Jake Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852316897204265874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133484324105328647.post-5085020010904181212010-12-30T11:36:06.537-05:002010-12-30T11:36:06.537-05:00The dummies thank you!

He is the guy who looks like Rob Zombie that surrenders to Caesar in the first episode of the Rome TV show. He personally surrendered to save a besieged city, quite the heroic move. Much later, he was appropriated as some kind of French folk hero. Caesar kept him locked in prison for six years before marching him through Rome in Caesar's super triumph ... and then promptly killed him. Rough end for quite a heroic guy.Jake Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852316897204265874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133484324105328647.post-40813850513343329172010-12-30T02:36:25.817-05:002010-12-30T02:36:25.817-05:00What's Vercingetorix?

Would be much more fun than just ground bar. Yeah, I read Asterix comics as well. Now that I am older, I cannot believe that Vercingetorix was a character in them!Jake Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852316897204265874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133484324105328647.post-74632473901045689562010-12-29T21:32:43.747-05:002010-12-29T21:32:43.747-05:00I was a huge Asterix comic book fan when I was a k...I was a huge Asterix comic book fan when I was a kid (do you know who I mean? most of my American friends are like, "who the fuck is that). Anyway, Asterix and his big friend Obelix were always eating huge roasted boars on spits and dripping with juices and wine. It always made me hungry and want to try boar, which is hardly a normal thing in the supermarkets of Riyadh (or Rhode Island...). You must make this for me.Ricknoreply@blogger.com
