Warning: Seriousness incoming...
I'd like to think that I have a connection with the namesake ethnic Normans roaming around Europe in the middle ages, mostly around France. Quite a bunch of hearty lads and lassies from the North ("nord"=north, "mann"=man - Norman!) who'd drink grog all days, and do a bit of casual warring on the sides, you know? Nothing beats smashing some poor fellow's skull into pieces with my battle-axe after a pint or two of alcohol!
They, or I, brought along a bucket load of cultural, political, economic, and military changes to the whole landscape of Europe unto the Renaissance. The Norman here therefore takes all responsibility for the goodness and fuckery in the generations that came after the original Normans took power. I even invaded North Africa, the Holy Land, the entirety of the British Isles, and Southern Italy. Plus, if it means that I can have a huge, bushy Viking beard, so be it!
So, if G-Dog is in need for a big of Crusade here or there, you know who to call.
ENGAGEtokens.Well, this seems like a totally legit explanation of your Normanness. Maybe the 97 pertains to the Crusades in 1097 also? It all makes a lot of sense!
!ENGAGE 25
Oh my goodness, I didn't even think about that! The conspiracy is untangling beneath our very toes. Surely it must be a calling, being born 900 years after that, maybe to start another Crusade? Already, I'm suddenly yearning to speak French. Anyone else in the mood to invade England?
Sacré bleu...
Lol, get it done!
You know that other time when I talked about crowning you King of Australia? If you'd kindly send military assistance to Normandy for the invasion fleet right now, I'll make it happen once the Crown of England belongs to a Norman once more, at which point the independence of Australia will be granted. The plotting is underway...
Lol...I'm sure that book, and General Cat will take us to victory! A free Australia, we can only dream of it...But now that dream could be a reality.
Tally ho, and forward to victory!
I'll take a regiment of Roos, and a battalion of Emus, please. We'll be needing those to scare off the English, as Field Marshal Lé Meow dictates. I'm putting him in command of our invasion force, and you Aussies will be leading along the Southern shore of the British Isles, since the weather there might be suitable for you.
En garde!
Those emu's look like they mean business. Scary bastards. Stole my fucking cheezles all those years ago...Still looking for that one...Going to wring his neck.
So who you gonna call? Headbusters! Has a certain ring to it...
You better watch what you wish for, mate! No one expects a Norman and his battle-hammer to drop by and crush some skull!
Hello @zacknorman97,
Wow! A modern crusader. Careful and courageous people, with a lot of history at their expense.
Have a great day.
Haha, humanity is certainly in need of something radical to turn us around now. Though perhaps I should carry out this crusade a bit less bloody and murderous as it once was, eh?
I agree with you, with the sword of thought to cut the Gordian knots of ignorance.
Haha, too damn right, mate. So much idiocy and ignorance running rampant!
Yes ... you have a lot of work ahead of you.
You left at the exact moment becoming a warrior of the moment with a bloodthirsty mentality but without leaving behind the joyful life. Excellent life to live.
Adrenaline and fun
I guess all that adrenaline could be fun to have, although the bloodthirsty and murderous crusade-ing hasn't been helpful to my Karma. Going through Hive certainly helps, however :-D
