If he was from a country that bordered us I'd be upset about his knowledge of American geography and culture but Canada's over in Europe or something.


I think the "Canada" where he lives is on the moon or something.

I do fence. I started a beginner class in October and now I am the level where I regularly have bouts against the other students.

I have no clue as to your question because I don't know if he is trained in sport fencing (which is very different from stage combat; also GOT shows mostly longswords and not smallsword-based dueling weapons, Arya nonwithstanding).

Not both? When I was going to college in Iowa, we'd drive through a lot of farmland on the way there, and it seemed like most fields would alternate -- corn one year, soybeans the next.

I thought Midwesterners were mostly skilled at riding and shooting.

Er, most of the Midwest is former industrial areas and agriculture. In your familiar GoT terns, we're closer to the Reach than anything else. Farmers, laborers, masons, etc.

We're not cowboys.


I see...

I thought the Reach was in France

Yes, I think I'll take my chances with the real trial, as I don'[t know the first thing about sword fighting and I don't think an actor who does stage fighting counts for shit.

But I have a feeling the Governor's going to choose a Christian champion to represent Texas, given the state's historical Republican leanings.

On a side note, does anyone think a Game of Thrones actor showing up out of nowhere and pledging to fight to the death for you sounds like the early part of a bad fanfiction? I guess at least it's not someone from Twilight.
Also, chocobos.

That is a good point. I am still sure Chuck E. would emerge victorious though I don't think he would be willing to kill or seriously injure a Christian.

Only if he allows you to express your gratitude in "other ways" at the end.

Even when talking about the fictional character, not the actor, that is laughably false.

Chuck would fight for his fans no matter what. He'd throw down the nerve gas at the cowards.

in the OP, its the actor

he's the ''public defender'' of the trial by combat option for those who want representation in the fight but don't want to fight themselves (and can't afford anyone else)

unfortunately, public defenders for a job where you could lose your life are all too rare

I'm afraid Coster-Waldau is the only one who'll do it for free. Unless you know some friends or family who really REALLY care about you.

Chuck E. Cheese would fight for me and I would do the same for him. He knows I'm his biggest fan cause I always pray for him. I think lots more people than some random actor would be willing to fight to help the innocent.

Here is a question for the op.

Why?
"This guy is a State socialist, which doesn't so much mean mass murder and totalitarianism as it means trying to have a strong state to lead the way out of poverty and towards a bright future. Strict state control of the economy is necessary to make the great leap forward into that brighter future, and all elements of society must be sure to contribute or else."
Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.64
Lawful Neutral/Lawful Evil half and half.
Authoritarian Extreme Leftist because fuck pre-existing Ideologies.
"Epicus Doomicus Metallicus"
Radical Anti-Radical Feminist Feminist
S.W.I.F: Sex Worker Inclusionary Feminist.
T.I.F: Trans Inclusionary Feminist
