"Is this an appropriate soundtrack for your former life?"

Indeed, my wretched condition, for 38 ignonimous years, was to be the lowly servitor of the two fellows sitting on the couch, to address them as Sir or Mister, as they referred to me as cracka, nigga, white nigga, bitch-ass nigga, bitch-ass-Nazi nigga, and, my favorite "crumb." Alas, i am now lost and useless, no longer fit to feed my glistening masters what their salivary souls need. Masterless, disowned and fallen from any possible grace, I but barely slouch through the increasingly meaningless portions reserved for me, of some better man's days.

"Mr Barrett and I were eager to secure your reaction to this clip from the Flashman film"

This, in a comic way, illustrates the specialized psychopathy of end of martial culture dueling traditions, when the combat application most useful in a death duel or combat situation, the removal of an enemy hand or leg, is denied by social artifice and armor. The English sport of cudgeling very much mimicked this high guard face fencing.

Thanks for the clips.

Readers: Richard Barrett and Paul Bing Ham have been podcasting together—where, i do not know. But when they send a link, i will post it.
