TET: Summer Summed Up Sumptuously

[Gallade]

Should have had that tea between the hours of eleven and two, the hundred years war would have been won in 20.

Back in medieval times tea wasn't available to the British yet, so they had to make do without it. They probably drank beer instead.

Historical accuracy must make way for stupid jokes, Hurd, you know this to be true.

[Hurdergaryp]

That does sound disgusting.

Never done anything like that.

I did once leave the house late after spending time searching for the housekeys I'd already got in my hand.

And this is why it is important to have a cup of coffee first.

I know the feeling. Or searching, and it turns out to be on the counter already.

Such unhallowed liberties only lead to madness!

Didn't stop those vikings from wearing horns in modern times...

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Those doubled as drinking horns too. Versatility!

Wagneresque wankery, based upon stories about the murderous Norsemen being like the demons from the Christian hell.

A shame they were totally useless in battle.

It was more a fashion stance rather than a war one.

Yeah, the horns do make them look cool.

And triples as hazards... To your enemy!

I would like to see a show where a Viking headbutts someone with the horns like a bull.

The real Norsemen would turn out to be a disappointment to you, then. Their helmets weren't horned, but they commonly had absolutely fabulous hair. No, seriously.

That could be interesting to watch, but I imagine the premise will get dull after a while.

Maybe an episode where a Viking takes part in a bullfight?

I guess the popular show Vikings didn't have any of that? I've been interested in watching it, but all I come across are short videos and never whole episodes.

Given how that show is more or less situated in a historical setting, no horned helmets are to be observed. There are a lot of longships, though.

And a lot of sex, for the little I was able to gather. But since I have seen very little of the show, save for those short videos I spoke of, I can't speak much about the setting. I know there's the story that deals with Rolo and Gisla, which is set in France. And I know there are parts of the story that deal with Ragnar, Aslaug and Lagertha. I think they mention Athelstan (which for a short moment I thought was a mention of one of the kings of England), a monk, and that's pretty much it. Save, of course, for the scene where the bloody eagle is showcased.

I never watched it, so... I don't know. *shrugs*

They all talk about how much of a hazard it is, while I can think about is a drunk Viking that charges head on, while grabbing another one of his friends and use him as a battering ram.

Both of them can't feel any pain because beer.

I know you're talking about Vikings but all I could envision were the Dothraki. xD

[Ethel mermania]

Objects are being waved, yes. Sometimes they're measured as well, as if it is some kind of contest.

Oooooohhhh, the aim was square volume? Here I was thinking it was bulk quantity, I've been forming a collection. Boy, is my face red!

At least the Italian can rest easy now.

There are legends of single Viking warriors being able to keep a whole opposing army in hot pursuit occupied because of berserker rage. Going berserk also tends to numb any sensations of pain.

See? People always say that the worst ideas are when you're intoxicated. I mean... kinda true, but adrealine and drunkenness will put you in a history book.

Though... I hope you really will leave the battle in one piece if that happens.

(On a side note, I played this Warcraft 3 custom game before where a hero is a... drunken Admiral. He will sometimes miss his target and instead slam the butt of his blade onto a head of an enemy, stun for 1 sec. He was also pretty OP because drunk guy with a huge-ass sword.)

Vikings also have a totally kick-ass justice system. Like really, they have court cases, legislations, the whole nine yards.

Pssssh. vikings having sex is a total myth. They actually grew on trees.

I thought Vikings came from cabbage-patches? :/

Damn my substandard history education!

If memory serves, the phrase "the whole nine yards" originated in the US military during WWII. The .50 cal ammo belts that were used in aircraft were 9 yards long. Or so the story goes.
