Never said you didn't.  Just that grand-dad (like any proper Saxon) proudly
swiped stuff from the Romans: wheels, weaponry, whatever.  Preferably off a
dead Roman, but live Romans would do...

(says Mari, who has decidedly Saxon allegience since she's got ancestors
who went north to Scotland as part of the group that followed when the
Saxon princess Margaret married Malcolm - who was later king of Scotland.)

I can't take credit for it.  I don't remember who came up with that one,
but I first heard it in the Barony of Three Rivers (St. Louis) in late 1990
or early 1991.  We were having a Celtic theme event and several of our
members couldn't be there.  They were playing in a sandbox half a world
away (can you say "Desert Shield / Desert Storm"?).  So we took butcher
paper and wrote graffiti all over it.  I'm told it was used as a decoration
at the event, then sent overseas to our members.  That's one huge
postcard...  That line was one of the phrases written as graffiti.
