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.”

A nerd. Sometimes I write. Less frequently I do improv or act. Widower. Polyamorous. Owns a lot of books. Background is not my picture, but I’ve been there thrice and am obsessed.

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’.

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.

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

Our local ren fest has Henry VIII as its king, so one year a friend and I put on kilts and protested him.
