No idea what it's all about, but I think those Spartans have quite nice bodies, and must be hardy verily methinks as they withstand much cold.
Looking through my grandmother's things I found her scrapbook from when she lived in Canada in the 1960 ish, which political snippets from local papers about crazy people stamping on Communist sausages (sausages from Poland) in the street. I will try to scan some in someday as they are special to me at least.
