I think this proposed location is in and around the lake.

Well played, sir. Well played.

I like “Grippler” better than “Governor”, especially for some of these Lefty-loosie Demagogueocrats.

Gripplers, hmm, probably a grippler is a tippler who is known for maintaining grip on the flagon?

BTW, nice job all, the topic has reached page two. And this chick has been dead better part of two thousand years.

People rushing round with no time to spare
I’m so dizzy, I’m neither here nor there
In this traffic jam, I just want to shout
Let me off o’ this
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)

Did they use that on in “European Vacation”? Would have been perfect.

She didn’t have red hair, it was black. She wasn’t tall, she was kind of a runt. She wasn’t married to the King, she was a concubine. Her and her kids were a problem for the King, so he convinced her to take a group of odd and end soldiers and nip at the Roman Soldiers heels, knowing they would soon tire of it and lay ambush for her. He died before getting his freedom from the mad hen.

(I made this all up, but who really knows the truth ?)

The Romans always kept pretty good records. If not for those, Britain would not have known anything about her.

Good speculation though! I figure, with her in his life, he was glad to shuffle off.

I don't know about any of that. The author says: "A great mass of the toriiest hair fell to her hips"

Is that true? No idea. BTW, the St. Pauli girl originally had the "toriiest" hair.

Now all the chicks are lame/blond. I'd tap either just the same, but they're not the same.
