Gladiators & Chicken Wings
Things have not changed much since the Greek wrestling
matches or the Roman gladiatorial games, except the food....
It seems the populace still likes to sit in stadiums and
watch people beat the living crap out of other people......
I wonder if it relieves some inner tensions or maybe
it provides some deep pleasure.......
In an case today is the grand day in America....The Super
Bowl......Twenty two men will try to beat the living crap
out of each other.....Everyone will watch while they eat
and drink themselves into a frenzy......Money will be lost
and won, as is another custom......
Buffalo chicken wings, chili, chips, dips, cocktail sausage,
beer, soda will be consumed in vast quanties.....How come
the History Channel never tells you what the Greeks and
Romans ate?.....Did anyone see any vendors walking up
and down the steps of the coliseum in Russell Crowe's
galadiator movie?......Of course the emperor, in his
Sky Box, had his grapes and wine.....Pumps
