Regarding the first part of that video, 1950's London, notice the horse riders. I've never understood why equestrians romp on a horse's back like that. I'm just a dumbass hillbilly, but when I'm on horseback, I move with the horse, I don't romp on it's spine like I'm trying to break it's back. If I was a horse, I'd kick the living shit out of anyone that got within my reach if they looked "equestrian". When I was at college at Virginia Intermont, they had an "Equestrian" program that was designed to teach rich kids (mostly rich girls - 'cause even rich girls gotta have a vocation!) how to ride a horse and then give them a degree (no shit, a DEGREE!) in horse-riding. They taught them that crazy romping crap too. Horses are expensive - why would anyone try to break one in half instead of take good care of it? Not to mention those silly outfits they wore, or those half-assed "saddles" that looked more like a saddle blanket than a proper saddle with a saddle horn and all.
Folks is funny. And often foolish.
As for the rest, I reckon I'll start keeping my machete close to my vest now, since that appears to be the weapon of the day these days. I don't know why they can't carry proper swords if they can carry machetes, but it ain't my city to figure out, I guess. And, if I ever go to London, rest assured that I will be wearing a heavy steel cod-piece - maybe they sell them on E-bay - just in case I get assaulted by one of those crazy Haitian or Dominican chicks in the same way they are assaulting those other poor hapless gentlemen in the videos. That looks pretty tragic and horrific. Some collard-green eatin' bitch come at me with an ass that's 40 axe-handles across the beam like that, and she's gonna get a surprise that she NEVER expected! I guarantee it won't be fun for her, since clearly it wouldn't be fun for me, either. I am prone to defend myself from any sort of assault, whether from man or beast... or what's trying to pass as a woman. Assault is assault. They'd be better off staying their asses at home and eating some more cookies than coming out and threatening me with dat ass!
