Red Sea Trade Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Today is the patronal feast day of St. George, patron of England, slayer of dragons and all-around excellent fellow. Raise a glass of the good, nut-brown ale in George's memory and punch a Spaniard, if convenient. Red Sea Trade In days of old when ships were bold just like the men that sailed 'em, and if they showed us disrespect we tied 'em up and flailed 'em, often men of low degree and often men of steel, they'd make you walk the plank alone or haul you 'round the keel. --Adam and the Ants
Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 But..... but.....I kinda like Dragons...... Yeah, in the Steampunk Forum, a buncha the English were celebrating today.... From what I can figgure out it's England's Saint, and they kinda do wot the Irish do for Saint Patrick's day..... I can't figure out why we don't celebrate it as another fun drinking day in the U.S. .....(hey... we celebrate Cinco de Mayo...... well as another excuse to drink Mexican beer and Margaritas......)
