Pelgrane Press is putting out a game called “Ballad Hunters,” in which you play agents in 1813 Britain trying to determine why ballads are coming to life. Your boss is Sir Walter Scott. The game is based on the Child Ballads. THIS GAME COULD NOT BE ANY MORE SETH BAIT! But who will play with me?!
In about six or so years The Mask of Zorro with Antonio Banderas will be old enough that Bruce Wayne and his family could have believably walked out of that movie and into Crime Alley.
I was today years old when I found out that “The Phony King of England” from Disney’s Robin Hood is probably based on a bawdy song called “The Bastard King of England.”
I was in a D&D game on Friday and we summoned a crow to help us in battle.
After the battle he left and said “Crowhan has answered.”
My response: “Sure, but where was Condor when the Westfold fell?”
Welp, time to make like The Scarlet Pimpernel and get shovelin’.
And as for the aul’ rapier that hung by his side
He flung it as far as he could in the tide
“To the devil I bid you,” said Arthur McBride
“For to temper your steel in the morning.”
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
The glass is falling hour by hour
The glass will fall forever
But if you break the bloody glass
You won’t hold up the weather
Oh, roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
Your streams are wondrous strong
Make me a wreck as I come back
But spare me as I'm gone
For it’s I’m gaun awa’ in a bottomless boat
In a bottomless boat
In a bottomless boat
For it’s I’m gaun awa’ in a bottomless boat
And I’ll never return again
Trouble, oh it’s trouble,
Rolling o’er my breast
The way that I’ve been living, boys,
I ain’t a-gonna see much rest.
Sheep will die in cot, mither
And ousen die in byre
And what’s this warld’s wealth tae me
Gin I get not my heart’s desire
As a customer, I would hate that.
Anybody else have “The Courtship of the Laird of Drum” as an earworm? No? Just me?
Little of column a, little of column b.
Correct me if I’m wrong, and I might be, but wasn’t the Shire ruined by covetous rich/powerful white dudes who just wanted to control everything?
Now the first time that I took to me a wife, she was far aboon my degree-o
And I durst no’ gang in tae the room where she was, but my hat below my knee-o
I may be a dude, but Karlach was my first romance option. Also, my wife and I just finished The Pairing. It made me very hungry and a little sad I don’t drink. The research process for it must have been amazing. #unexpectedSilmarillioncontent
@thrillingadv.bsky.social for some reason I thought you all had stopped years ago… come to find I have seven years of episodes to catch up on.
I’ve never denied it (except for a period in my early twenties when I didn’t know).
This is a thing?
Ditto From Ally to Zacky
I’m biased because I’m a big fan of Paul F., but David Hoyle, Jr. also, what an episode of Gastronauts!
@samreich.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social @izball.bsky.social @ifycomedy.com just watched Bigger and The Big Team, really outstanding work from everyone involved. Would love to see more.
Was not expecting a “The Last Unicorn” reference, but I’ll take it.
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
