I Say the Darndest Things

War Pigs Make No Sense Without Elephants

You may recall that yesterday, I mentioned that flaming war pigs were a real historical thing.

Seeing as how this IS a real thing it seemed to me that there should be some sort of combat event in the Society for Creative Anachronism recreating this.

This would be analogous too the occasional game of Buzkashi, a Central Asian equestrian game, that are conducted every now and then by SCA groups.

I was on the way to an SCA event with Sharon, and said this.

It's basic logic, since war pigs are a weapon specifically targeting elephants, any analogue must find a way to simulate both animals.

As soon as I said this, I saw how absurd of what I said was 

I do feel the need that this is not even close to the weirdest thing that I have ever said.

The weirdest thing that I have ever said was probably, "It's not Buffet Time at the Wildebeest."

My children were being taken feral at dinner over a decade ago, and it seemed to me that they resembled a pack of heyenas having a throw down over a recent kill.

This did stop Charlie and Nat from misbehaving, because they were laughing to hard to do anything else.

There may be something seriously wrong with me.
