At the Twitter here: @1014retold And the accompanying site is here: http://1014retold.com/ The Battle of Clontarf took place in 1014 AD. 1014! Do you know how far back in time that is?

DeleteOh, this is funny, glad I found your blog. I love Judge Judy:)

DeleteNever squat with your spurs on, indeed! Not only can you stab your own glutes, but ultimately, you may end up getting dirt all over your horse's flanks.
LOL oh too funny. I was another that used to watch her ALL the time. People...are just crazy the things they say and do. lol

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your A-Zing!!
LOL - well summed up - that's that show in a nutshell!
