For those of you who have some historical awareness, you will know certain countries exist ONLY so that other, larger, more powerful countries can use them to sort out longstanding differences. Poland, for instance, is effectively a place for Russia and Germany to hash out their problems – which they have done repeatedly, and which Russia has, to date, been winning in a fairly lopsided contest.
Similarly, the country of Belgium is essentially a very flat place which exists primarily so the Limeys and the Krauts can have a good old-fashioned kerfuffle to figure out who is top dog. That is pretty much the ONLY reason the country exists – though, of course, the Belgians might have a thing or three to say about that.
This has been the unfortunate fate of the country, going pretty much all the way back to Roman times. The big JC himself – no, the OTHER one, the Roman dictator, who died a good 40-some years BEFORE His Hugeness rocked up in Palestine – stumped around Belgium for quite a while, smacking around the local tribes, before calling it a day and buggering off back to Rome for his appointment with a group of not-very-capable surgeons known as the Roman Senate.
Rest assured, I base my history on the most reliable and highly respected of sources – this is FACT.
You might think I am being rather unfair about Belgium. It is, after all, the home of so many good things.
These include the Belgian Malinois dog breed:
… and Belgian Trappist beer:
… and the Belgian FN-2000 bullpup assault rifle, which served as the inspiration for the MA-series assault rifles in my beloved HALO series:
… plus Belgian potato fries:
… and Belgian waffles:
So, in summary, Belgium is a flat country perfectly designed for other people to have a good old-fashioned scrap, with food and drink on the sidelines for the spectators.
AND THAT’S ALL IT’S FOR.
I kid, of course. (But not by much). That being said – there is actually a reason for bringing up Belgium, other than to flat-out make up its history.
This week’s lovely lady is Malissia Sirica, age 28 from Belgium. She does Instahamming and TikTokery, whatever that is, and she also happens to be a really-for-real model. Evidently, she is pretty good at it – whatever “it” is. So, y’know, there is one more good reason to visit Belgium.
Happy Friday, all. Posting has been non-existent this week due to sheer laziness and ineptitude on the part of the proprietor, but that should change shortly.

She’s holding a bull terrier puppy in one of those sets of pictures. Very cute!
