Hugged to death? https://web.archive.org/web/20220703052049/https://aspectsofhistory.com/i-fart-in-your-general-direction/ https://web.archive.org/web/20220703052049/https://aspectsof...

  Yup, hugged. Went to make coffee. When back, it had loaded just fine.

  OT, but I love how the archived version correctly reproduces the time-delayed annoying newsletter overlay of that site. Future archeologists of the Internet will be able to relive the same shitty experience we had when reading clickbait articles.

    Submitter here. Sorry about that. I generally don't enable javascript unless I'm forced to do so. As such, I didn't see the incredibly annoying overlay you mentioned.

  > > Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! > That one was my favorite ;) In the English subs for the Japanese dub of the film on DVD (why they translate the dub instead of just using the original subs, especially when they include the other original subs) that one gets re-translated as “your parents are really quite strange”, which amuses me.

    The ultra-deluxe DVD comes with subtitles for those who don't like the movie, all taken from Shakespeare's Henry IV, I believe. They're generally appropriate, in my memory. It wouldn't surprise me to find they thought an English-Japanese-English roundtrip woild be funny.

      That is one of the ones I'm meaning by the original alternative subs. My DVD has them and that insert a special edition IIRC so I assumed all the DVD releases had the option.

  > Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Translates to: Your Mum’s a slut (hamsters, like rabbits, breed voraciously) Your Dad’s a drunk (elderberry wine was the cheapest, roughest, homemade alcohol)

Monty Python's Terry Jones was a well-regarded medievalist [0]. I wouldn't be surprised to learn this famous quote could be directly linked to Jones' knowledge about the middle ages. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones#History

I think it's crazy how the guard, after just having watched the approaching army maim his comrade for life, still brings up the resolve to make a mockery of them. I guess this goes to show how accustomed the people were to casual violence and bodily harm. (Or it might strengthen the "two factions" theory: That the guard and the hostage were from two opposing factions within the resistance and therefore the guard didn't have much compassion for the hostage to begin with)
