But you included no prices!
love it!
It’s 11:40 pm here in Israel, the banks are closed and I’m out of darics, denarii, drachmas, and dileptons. All of those wonderful bargains and I can’t even get one of them. How sad!! Can we hope for another such sale next year? If so, I’ll start saving my darics, denarii, drachmas, and dileptons!
Darn. I was hoping you had pieces of the true cross. Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Pieces of the true cross? No, you have to go to Constantine’s mother’s blog for that.
Your post contains an error no serious scholar would make. You misspelled dileptons. It should be depilations, as any National Geographic writer can tell you.
You further denigrated the National Geographic specials. We talked with three *very carefully selected* local smart men. Please. Lift your scholarship to our levels, before writing another such calumny.
Hey, don't laugh too hard at the "Archaeologist Trading Cards". Before baseball cards were packaged with bubble gum, there were tobacco cards & cigarette cards. There are a couple of such series, occasionally available via eBay, featuring none other than Charles Warren (albeit for his role as a general, not archeology).
This prank beats the one you pulled on IBEX Spring ’07…telling us that MacArthur had pulled the plug on all further internet communications because of some inapropriate usage. Yikes! I still get irritated. 🙂
That should be Spring ’97. Just a decade off…no matter. You’re only as old as you feel, right?
