Considering Louisiana cuisine... Lunch?

Hey, it was a YANKEE who came up with the Fear Factor "pretty folks eat bugs" concept.

Hey, it was a YANKEE who came up with the Fear Factor "pretty folks eat bugs" concept. That may be, but things like crawdad gumbo were around long before Fear Factor.  |

-Sigh-
Fine, ya buncha darn Yankee pansies. (Yes, I live in Washington, but half my family is from the Boot-Shaped State and I HAVE eaten crawfish gumbo. With hot sauce. Mmmm.)
The periodical cicada is referred to as the "locust" by most Southerners. Sort of the way that in Arizona, they refer to tailless whipscorpions as "sunspiders."
Somebody else ask a question.

Eh, no one else is jumping in so I'll do one. Back to what I know and love best. (Aside from movies, my family, and tons of other stuff anyway.) Horses. This shouldn't be too hard though. I hope.
What is "Roman Riding"?

I know nothing of riding, but based on the TWOP discussion boards for "Rome," my guess is riding without stirrups? Perhaps including a saddle and bridle, but no stirrups?

Nope. It's a good guess, but nope.  |

Okay, I'm giving it to Magill anyway. Roman riding is when the rider stands on top of the horse, or more usually, rides two horses with one foot on each horse's back. Magill? |

That sounds like an extremely intelligent way to ride a horse.

Intelligent in the sense of, "My cat is so intelligent that she ran smack into the wall while she was looking at something else yesterday?"

Intelligent in the way that you don't necessarily need cloning technology to make two of someone. Kids, don't try that at home!

You can't just tie a lead to the second horse? You have to stand on their backs like some kind of crazy, four-legged surfboard? Sounds iffy to me, Sue, and you don't have a long history of iffiness. Hope it's not catching.

Hope it's not catching. Hey I didn't say I'VE done it! The worst I've done (intentionally) is ride over jumps without stirrups or reins. Great days, those. Pity about the vertebrae... But it can be done.  |

I, for instance, ride my bunny into work every day this exact same way.
