    Olympics !

    Olympic history.....

    Are you watching the Olympics?

    DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HISTORY! JUST IN TIME FOR THE OLYMPICS!

    Olympic History Here is a piece of Greek history regarding the Olympic games.

    2500 years ago a slave call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee (pronounced Get-offa'-me) was attending the first athletic festival in Greece.

    This festival had no name at that time.

    In those days the athletes performed naked and to prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on a drink containing saltpeter.

    At the opening ceremonial parade of this first great event, Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked athletic males marching toward her and she exclaimed:

    "Oh! Limp pr*cks!".

    Over the next two and a half millennium that expression morphed into the word "Olympics."

    So Now you know....

    Don't bother to thank me.. I enjoy learning about and discussing history.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    That's horrible. Also highly inaccurate. Mildly funny though.
