What did the cows ever do

Most of them survived by turning traitor.

Easy to save my reverse crushing sports moment for last, no one was ever taking it.



Truly a remarkable moment. It was a day that never seemed possible. Vindicated my fandom to literally every single person I knew.

When you think of a carnival ride, you're probably thinking of three distinct features:

1) It has to have a name that sounds like two nerds combined the nicknames their bullies gave them in high school, like "shit for brains" and "dweeb".

2) It has to be a ride you power yourself because who goes to an amusement park to simply sit back and enjoy the ride when you can get exercise along with your fun?

3) It is a ride that you know deep down in your bones will one day become a common, viable option for public transportation.

This is why the Seattle Sockeyes are thrilled to select The Shweeb as our carnival ride. Clearly the greatest name ever bestowed on a ride, this eco-friendly form of amusement is currently only found at an adventure park in New Zealand. However, its founder is certain that it will one day be in all major cities as a commuting option.

Revel in the glory of the Shweeb:



I am sure @Hollywood Couturier has already invested in this "human powered monorail".

@Magua, you're up, Shweeb.

We have a new top pick in the draft. I've been telling you all to invest in Monorails and here we have @CanadianFlyer88 doing exactly that. #Levels

That was just part of it - that's why I asked him to use his words.

Make up pick:

The Songhai Empire had been a force in western Africa for over a century, and was still large and powerful in 1591. Morocco was suffering due to conflict with the Portugese. Though illegal to invade another Islamic country, Moroccan forces marched south on the larger, stronger Songhai empire to try to capture gold mines they erroneously believed to be present. They met at Tondibi in Mali.

The Moroccans numbered a paltry 1,500 light cavalry and 3,000 infantry, although 2,500 of the infantry carried arquebuses, a technology the Songhai army lacked. To make up for this, they fielded 9,700 infantry and 12,500 cavalry.

And 1,000 cows.

In order to protect their infantry advance from the Moroccan firearms, the Songhai stampeded the cows towards the Moroccan lines. This was a grave error. As why would cows continue to run towards gunfire?

As the cows were almost immediately routed, they charged back into the Songhai lines, with the infantry continuing to advance. The result of the sudden betrayal by their bovine allies coupled with fire from the Moroccans resulted in the decimation of the Songhai infantry. Moroccan cavalry were able to hold back the Songhai cavalry charge long enough for the arquebus and canon to be brought to bear, and the Songhai military was soundly defeated. The Moroccans would subsequently plunder the cities of the empire, which collapsed due to this stunning defeat.

The moral of the story: Never trust cows.

Team Non-WWII Battle: Battle of Tondibi, 1591

We finally know the empire wherein @Lord Defect would be considered a lord - clearly comes from a long line of Songhai.

There are so many battles across history. How does one choose? I cant. So, let's loophole into pseudo-history.

The Honolulu Ghibli pay our respects to our Team Battle Site: the Battle of Camlann

Many a spear was thrust and splintered,
Many a stern word spoken;
Many a sword was hacked and bent,
Many a helmet broken;
Noble companies clashed together,
Battering helmets bright.
A hundred thousand fell to the ground;
The boldest were quelled ere night.

Since Brutus voyaged out of Troy
And Britain for kingdom won,
No war so wonderfully fierce
Was fought beneath the sun.
By evening not a knight was left
Could stir his blood and bone
But Arthur and two fellow-knights
And Mordred, left alone.

—Le Morte d'Arthur​

Camlann, the final battle in the Arthurian legend (c. 500s). When King Arthur was felled -- but not before taking his evil, incestuous son (some retellings say nephew), Mordred, with him. The staging of the battle was Mordred taking part in revealing Guinevere and Lancelot's steamy trysting. Arthur traveled to France to fight the fleeing Lancelot and his army. Meanwhile, Mordred seized control of Camelot, lying about Arthur's death abroad and planning to marry his queen. And so, King Arthur returned to defeat Mordred's army, and then Mordred himself in a duel, running him through with a spear. Mortally wounded, Arthur was transported to the mystical island of Avalon.

@Lord Defect -- your pick, my liege

Chuck Fletcher broke my brain. Now I just lash out in anger.

Man that dude in the black is a low fi Darth Vader, and you can’t tell me otherwise.
I think I have one or maybe two picks yet but I’m not sure which. Next post will have it.

 

[Lord Defect]

We will present as our last pick, our future draft category, team mythical creature, as opposed to mythical figure.

 

[Lord Defect]

@Hollywood Couturier abd the rest of the degenerates that need make up picks.

 

[BiggE]

We will present as our last pick, our future draft category, team mythical creature, as opposed to mythical figure.

[RANCH] will fill that category easy

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Cap at the risk of you hating me I’m going to make the final selection tomorrow. I gotta think long and hard and decide between a couple choices and want to do a write up.

No probs - I don't feel like making the new thread tonight anyway. Make sure you think of the final two categories in that time too.

Holy f***ing migration, Batman!

Maybe this means we didn't re-sign Risto! I don't even see a thread about it anymore.

Oh, for those halcyon days. Take me back migration!

I had the exact same thought.

Also, what the hell is this shit? I generally hate change, but this feels like a real step backwards.

I don't know where we are in all this, but I'd like to officially request that they rescue NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE SIXTEEN! Part One! from the black abyss into which it fell.
