Chief, "Time for a new Honorverse song, hit it Mange!"

He is a Manticorian

By: Poker & Mange with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan and, thanks to Grabthar’s Hammer for the inspiration.

Tune Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘He is an Englishman’:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fb8snjIQyo

Crewman:
I, humble, poor, and lowly born,
The meanest in the port division
The butt of epauletted scorn
The mark of quarterdeck derision
Have dared to raise my wormy eyes
Above the dust to which you'd mould me,
In manhoods glorious pride to rise,
I am a Manticorian, behold me

All:
He is a Manticorian!

Boatswain:
He is a Manticorian
For he himself has said it
And it's greatly to his credit
That he is a Manticorian!

All:
That he is a Manticorian!

Boatswain:
He could have been Solarian, a Havenite, an Andermani, a Selesian or, perhaps Me-sa-in!

All:
Or perhaps Me-sa-in!

Boatswain:
And despite the temptations to belong to other nations he remains a Manticorian! He remains a Ma-a-a-ti-cor- i- a- n!

All:
And despite the temptations to belong to other nations he remains a Manticorian! He remains a Ma-a-a-ti-cor- i- a- n!

Mange, <I thought most two-legs thought of us as six limbed buzz saws not cordless drills?>

Chief. "Ugh, as this is a PG show I'll have to explain the joke later off stage." :oops:

Just posted on Safehold Humor or lack thereof:

Ah Medievil cookery recipe for grilled unicorn:

Image

Detail of a unicorn on the grill in Geoffrey Fule's cookbook, England, mid-14th century (London, British Library, MS Additional 142012, f. 137r).

"Taketh one unicorne". The recipe calls for the beast to be marinaded in cloves and garlic, and then roasted on a griddle. The cookbook's compiler, doubtless Geoffrey Fule himself, added pictures in its margins, depicting the unicorn being prepared and then served. Sarah J Biggs, a British Library expert on medieval decoration, commented that "the images are extraordinary, almost exactly as we'd expect them to be, if not better"

Image

A lady bringing the unicorn's head to the table (London, British Library, MS Additional 142012, f. 137v).

Image

The remains of the unicorn (London, British Library, MS Additional 142012, f. 138r).

Grilled Unicorn yumm!

Poker, "For a while the Grayson's felt their orbital farms were quite safe, until they discovered that Honor Harrington meant something other than cows when she said grazer."

Mange, <An oldie but a goodie as an Honorverse pun :lol: >

Chief, "Once on the HMSS Greenwich we had an ensign who sold joy rides on the ships we were repairing. He got rich so we called him 'Money Bags'."

Mange, <At least until he met Admiral Starnight's Snowfire.>

<There was an Ensign named Smith

<So he sold joy rides on newly repaired ships
<The scheme worked well till he met a card witch
<So now plans arigh' he's left with barely a stitch.>
