    Big hairy biped foul smelling odors omitted seen by witnesses in East Brady , PA normally on Friday nights serving beer at the bar on main street. She points and grunts then does a howling followed by omitting foul smelling gas as a mating gesture around closing time. This primate has been known to devour plates of chicken wings in seconds! Many men have fallen as prey for the creature never to be seen again.

    Hey guys love the show. I really liked your ending segment about “strange” foods around the world. I'm in the US Air Force and am currently stationed in Korea. It took over a year, but one of my Korean friends is finally going to take me to eat Kegohge, also known as, Barbecue dog. For the moment i am attending Training in Japan along with my Korean friend and we actually went out and ate Shashimi, the horse sushi you mentioned, it doesn't taste that bad. On the other hand it doesn't taste worth the price paid for it. Thought you might be interested, if I get the chance to eat anything else strange I might just let you know. Keep up the great work gentlemen. -Chris

    It is interesting to think of the links between a Saint Patrick and the bacchanalia festivials held in ancient Rome and Greece. It’s even more interesting when you consider that Saint Patrick lived and existed in a rapidly declining Roman Britan, and was kidnapped when he was 16 by Irish raiders.
    Patrick was probably well aware of bacchic pagan rituals and as an early Christian it was his role to convert people to the new Christian faith so I doubt Saint Patrick cared much for Bacchus or Egyptian religion.
    Bacchus is just the Roman version of the Greek god Dionysus ‘the god of wine’, many Greeks themselves believed the myth itself came from Anatolia where some of the earliest known archeological remains of large scale early wine production have been found (8000bc) they also made a kind of mead using grape juice and barley.
    On a side note I am not sure how your average Irish catholic would feel about the secret sun’s assertion that the first meeting to celebrate Saint Patrick’s day was by protestants and British soldiers.
    Saint Patrick is clearly a Catholic saint, Saint Patricks feast day was celebrated by Catholics in the 9th and 10th centuries and in the 16th century became a holy day of obligation.
    Can’t see how the old protestants can claim that one : )

    I was listening to some earlier episodes and was struck by a story in episode 207 about a “tutu-wearing alien” that has a strange similarity to the harlequin story in this episode, and also has some parallels to the male harlequin discussed a few episodes back. The large eyes, the strange manner of walking, the odd clothes, and the inappropriate smiling and “clownish” behavior…so now we not only have the greys, the Nordics and the Reptilians, but we also have the “Carnivaliens”.
