Here are some facts about the 1500's
This is soooo interesting!! Totally feeling pretty blessed right now and not "piss poor"!
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor"
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that's the truth....Now, whoever said History was boring?

Hey Boys, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and call a physician about "memory care" or maybe ask to be tested for Alzheimers. I'm serious. Not kidding here. You should probably get some help because I am very concerned about you.
You have posted 4 reposts in the past week and you didn't even know you did it. We believe that you might want to print this post and show it to your doctor. Maybe he can make sense of it.
Your post titled Here are some facts about the 1500's is a repost OF a repost.
I present to the members of Madjack sports exhibit 1.
http://www.madjacksports.com/forum/s...ghlight=thresh
I also present to the members of Madjack sports exhibit 2.
http://www.madjacksports.com/forum/s...ghlight=thresh
Here you will note that you have been called out in this thread as seen here..........
Lastly, you should know that you have been deceived and taken for a sucker. It seems for years in your quest to discover what it might be like to live in the wonderful and pleasant 1500's, you have had the figurative wool pulled over your eyes, sir.
To you and to all Madjack members, I regretfully submit exhibit 3

Next time you have a fleeting thought of flying to Miami and buying and selling shit - i would really like you to consider flying to see your grandson who hasn't been vaccinated and his life is in danger.
In the news right now is that Michigan just outlawed anal sex and oral sex. (I wish I were kidding) Yet, not one public official has fixed your filthy water supply. You are in a state of emergency and you have onset Alzheimers or dementia or possibly even douche bag disease.
Consider yourself owned. Again.

Around the 10th Time this has been posted and later debunked. It's a repost of something not true by the biggest falsehood purveyor on the forum. Good job!

Why would you post this copy and paste, self serving bullshit here? There are people here that actually go to this function. You are not one of them, EVER! Do you think anyone that is going to this event gives a shit about you? I try not to post in any of your threads, so....this is not your thread at all. You have no place here and no place with your shit stirring posts among the guys that actually get along and have friendships at Madjack Sports......You seem to try to separate yourself from everyone. That is fine , stay the fuck out of the thread that is trying to bring people together...... :0008
Actually, I don't. I make legitimate comments in your threads and I don't cut and paste from the works of a certified and elegant genius.
There's a difference.
Friday, lets plan on playing a side bet round. I could just mail the money before hand, but man.....I am due :lol:
