St. Crispin's Day

To celebrate, taste the writer-y goodness:



For the record, they're about to fight the Battle of Agincourt, where the English gave the French a very pointed demonstration of just how effective their longbows could actually be- but leaving that aside, I'd always been curious just who the heck Saint Crispin was... well, apparently, he was a twin- who had a Saint (Crispinian) for a brother as well. They were martyred in the year 260 and are the patron Saints of cobblers, tanners and leather workers.

If you're looking for a more contemporary take on it, try this:



One of these days I'm going to have to dig up Renaissance Man and watch it again. I remember it being a pretty damn good movie. (For some reason I associate this movie with Operation Dumbo Drop. I couldn't begin to tell you why- except that Renaissance Man came out in 1994 and Operation Dumbo Drop came out in 1995. Maybe that's it.)

Not sure how best to celebrate the Feast Day though. Perhaps a crispy chicken sandwich?
