Did you know Dash ("Dash. Dash Datsun") calls Columbus' "discovery" of America......"a boating accident?"

"A boating accident."

That makes me laugh.

Pure Dash perspective, there.

He has a lot of contempt for him. For Dash, to have; and for Columbus. You usually don't see him get that excited about any one topic. But something about the whole Columbus thing really bugs him. He thinks he was an idiot. A real idiot.

He said "Christopher theDumbus" "was looking out the back of the boat for land, when they ran aground."

And that Ferdinand's Media boys pasted over the whole thing. (He makes up the original headlines, and then the spin edits.)

It really fries him, which is pretty amazing for Dash. He doesn't usually get too excited about current events. It's funny. He gesticulates! Glass in hand, a-tinkle.

He must have read the facts. (Heck, he gets National Geographic.)

<< It got sort of hung around their necks by short, smelly, hyperactive, *greedy* Portuguese who wore tin skivvies and recklessly (!) sailed these topheavy inverted pieces of bedroom furniture across angry Big Water.>>

I saw a deal on Portuguese cod fishermen. Went to sea for 6 months at a time and were daily dropped off in skiffs to fish cod. Ate cod for 6 months. Couldn't afford to buy it for their families.
