Henpecked to Hell: Bruegel's Mad Meg

LT takes inspiration from ARMOR and HELL to introduce us to Dulle Griet, aka Mad Meg, the Flemish folk figure Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted in 1563. She puts on men's armor, grabs a basket of loot, and leads an army of women to raid the mouth of hell itself, because even the devil is afraid of her. LT explains what a virago is, Neal learns a new word: henpecker, and the pair bond over a creature in the painting whose face is his butt. For real. Before that, LT's wine tour in the Finger Lakes, Neal's Friday night at a haunted house that ended with White Castle at 12:30 in the morning, and somehow nosegays, pomanders, and what people used to put in bread before anyone regulated food.
