“Look at the size of that chicken!” The young guns get hold of peyote…
So, HA HA! all you anti-drug Odinists!!! Take that!

A big part of the reason for Caesar’s success was a group of german mercenaries he hired. They were not just big men. Their fighting spirit was frightening to all they encountered.
In battle they were like the Viking Berserkers who were known for taking drugs to get them crazy for battle. The Caesar’s Germans may have done the same.
But why a spoon?
Because it's dull, you twit. It'll hurt more.
