Hey. hey. hey! I voted... can always be fried.... but you didn't have the local recipe here where it is most often eaten here as breakfast with egg and cheese in a sammich... yum-yum.

Glad you're back, Setanta. I hope the dancing vision thing is temporary. Keep those peepers rested.

Fried salami, the whitest of white breads and bit of mayonnaise. If you're out of salami you can substitute a hot dog split down its length.

Howdy do, Boss...er, Blanche...Boss Blance... Blanced Boss. Good to see you're back and most likely upright.

Ah, here you are! Good to have you back, Set. You've been missed.

Hey, Boss. Glad your seeing us again. It's nice to be seen!

May I assume the sex change operation was a success Miss Blanche? :wink:



Cuchullain; also called Setanta) is the pre-eminent hero of Ulster in the Ulster Cycle. His mother was Deichtine, sister of king Conchobar mac Nessa; his father was either the god Lugh, or Deichtire's mortal husband Sualtam, and his foster-father was Fergus mac Róich. His charioteer, Láeg, is ever-present by his side.

Setanta was almost undefeatable in battle due to his spear (which sang for the blood of its enemies) and his warrior frenzy, comparable to that of the Norse berserkers. It is described in Thomas Kinsella's translation of The Táin this way:

"The Warp-Spasm overtook him : it seemed each hair was hammered into his head, so sharply they shot upright. You would swear a fire-speck tipped each hair. He squeezed one eye narrower than the eye of a needle; he opened the other wider than the mouth of a goblet. He bared his jaws to the ear; he peeled back his lips to the eye-teeth till his gullet showed. The hero-halo rose up from the crown of his head."

Did you get all that on MediCare?

Glad to see you back Setanta.

Salut, Soixante dix!
