and dont forget the always present Roze Koeken!

To those unfamiliar with this yummie thing, here it is:

[Magnus]

Ewwww...that pink icing looks...unatural!

[Et tu brute]

Reminds me of that girls (the name escapes me) hair out of Grease...

[Robert Vermaat]

Fectio has a long history of Roze Koeken abuse
(and no, I'm NOT re-enacting a certain Teletubby who nearly was banned from Poland!) :twisted: :

[Dan Diffendale]

Is that "Real American Cola" and everything?

[Primvs Pavlvs]

Visit me in my humble home and all shall be provided.

[Praefectusclassis]

Heh, I think they only contain flour, sugar and chemicals so we can surely import them to the US. Probably could even ship them, they won't go bad easily. :lol: Remind me in December Paul and I'll bring some. :wink:

Ha -- now I know.

The fall of the Roman Empire was not caused by lead pipes, barbarian invasion, over taxation, or Christianity -- not at all. Your photo makes clear who the real culprit was -- Cola. hock:

The rampant and pervasive use of this soft drink (and others of its ilk) caused the rot within the Roman mouth which prevented them from eating resulting in their weakened state and thus their inability to stand up against the barbarian onslaught.

Thanks for bringing this little know fact to light Valerius.

Indeed, re-enactment can lead to true historical insight.

[size=150:38d2vszh]Holy crap... this topic is STILL going on??? Wow, I thought it'd have died a week or so ago :-0

Well, I went to Roman Days in Maryland. Not ONE Touron asked about my scabbard and I was disapointed as all hell. Now reenactors liked it though ([/size][size=100:38d2vszh]or so they said[/size][size=150:38d2vszh]) Stuff like "Holy crap! That's neat!" etc. Damn though, I was all ready to argue w/ someone. :-( (

And as for the Star Wars Stormtroopers... isn't it inteesting how the modern military is starting to resemble them? :-0 Just change the tan and camo to white...[/size]

[hoplite14gr]

Bahh....
Just have a look on medieval "gothic" armor of 15th century and you will see that Star Wars Scenario was probably invented then,
They just didn't have cinema or Lukas for that reason... :lol:

Kind regards

[Magnus]

Speaking of storm troopers, I may be purchasing a Republican Commando Trooper armour kit.

Like i need more stuff to work on right now...lol.

Very sad: once cities burners, now cities burpers. (kidding )
