Imponderable #42: Chumbivilcas Peru.

30 Mar

March 30, 2012

Whoever said that violence never solves anything has never been to Peru.
 

Some facts about Peru :

In 1935, Dr. Forrestal traveled to Peru to recover the Chachapoyan fertility idol and disappeared. The following year, Indiana Jones traveled to Peru to recover the idol and determine Forrestal’s fate. After claiming the idol from the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors, Indy was forced to give it up to another competitor, René Belloq, and flee via amphibious plane.

What? You say that’s from Raiders of the Lost Ark? Damn skippy it is. I love that movie.

Anyway, in the real world which I sometimes visit, Peru cannot survive. Seriously, it cannot. How can a country that settles all their conflicts with brute force survive? And yes, I do mean that ironically.

Anyway, Takanguy is based on an old Incan tradition, and whatever happened to them, know what I mean? Hmm? Hmmmmm?

Is all this just an excuse for me to post Lego Indiana Jones in The Raiders Of The Lost Brick?

Of course it is.

And why would they keep up this ridiculous tradition?

The question in Imponderable.

Sneak Peek of the Week of March 25th, 2012

25 Mar

March 25, 2012

It may not be Festivus Season yet, but on Friday we’ll look at an Imponderable way of settling grudges.

Also this week we will continue my Cafe Metro saga with Part Two of What’s in a name? Plenty. I may have some explaining to do as after part one appeared I was personally contacted by their Director of Marketing and Social Media (who by the way is a pretty nice guy. He better be after part two.)

Sticking with food, we’ll examine a product with one of the worst names anyone could possibly come up with. If you saw it at your supermarket you’d have to think twice before purchasing.

Team Trump and the Apprentice, the Teutuls and American Chopper, and all of the usuals are along for the ride too.

All this, Saturday Comics, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.
