A snake on a stick on a flying snake. Now that's a pretty darn cool reverse. A fitting animal for Caracalla, don't you think?

I think deep fried snake on a stick is available at the Texas State Fair. But not deep fried snake on a stick on a snake.

Hey, here's another IFO I haven't posted. Was saving it for another occasion but might as well stick it here.

I'm not entirely happy with the pictures. The coin has been cleaned to death and is therefore shiny. I plan to reshoot it.

Another pigasus joins the flock. The bigger brother to my other Klazo pigasi.

If only that flying snake had arms it would be Trogdor the Burninator!

Well. That Trogdor vid is... something. Looks ripe for becoming a meme. And dagnabit Chris-- now I can't get the song out of my head.

I have half a squadron of pigasi now. Initial mission accomplished, just waiting on some shipments.

I will continue seeking out porcine pilots but now it's time to find some from locales other than Klazomenai. They are out there, at least 5 other cities, but harder to come by.

Here's the first one I bought. Showing it again because I love it. 9 mm; the denomination is unlisted with boar left-- all others found are boar right.

Geez right now I feel young in years but old on the internet. Trogdor has been around forever. I remember first watching it something like 9 years ago on Strongbad. He predates memes!

LOL, you must be young, Whiz! I've never seen it before... more of a Looney Tunes classic gal myself

Trogdor is new on the scene in TIF-time.

from knowyourmeme:

Quote:
Trogdor, also known as "Trogdor the Burninator", first appeared in episode 58 of the "Strong Bad e-mail" show on the website HomestarRunner.com[1]. Originally airing on January 13, 2003[2], the episode showed Strong Bad demonstrating how to draw a dragon. After an initial failed attempt, Strong Bad managed to create a dragon he was very pleased with, and Trogdor the Burninator was born.
