And Now For Something Completely Different


 Well, maybe not completely different but any excuse to throw up a Python video, eh?

I picked up this set of Civil War art cards on eBay for 99 cents shipped.  From what I can gather they're the second of two series.

  1. Not a subject that would normally interest me from a collecting standpoint, but those are nice cards... especially considering they appear to have been produced by a small company.

    1. Speaking of Python, the new Captcha robot prevention routine which requires you to prove that "I'm not a robot" reminds me of the witch burning scene from Holy Grail...
      We've found a robot, may we burn her?
      I'm not a robot! I'm not a robot!
      ...But you are dressed as one!
      THEY dressed me up like this! And this isn't my nose, it's a false one!

    2. I'm not really interested in the Civil War either but for a buck I couldn't resist. After all, they are cards.

  2. "She turned me into a newt!" My favorite comedy of all-time, probably always will be.

    1. It reminds me of something you'd find at the flea market.

    2. I hope so. Unfortunately the weather sucks here in Northern California... so I won't be able to find out this weekend.
