GloryofGreece would be better suited going to the Renassiance Fair and looking for some loose women. Thats what I would do if I were him.
Better suited than what comparatively? Wasting time on a message board...yea probably.
I was going to invite you to come with me but after a snide comment like that Im having second thoughts asshole.

I would like to see Carcassonne during its heydays.

I’m growing old, I’ve sixty years;
I’ve labored all my life in vain:
In all that time of hopes and fears
I’ve failed my dearest wish to gain.
I see full well that here below
Bliss unalloyed there is for none.
My prayer will ne’er fulfilment know
I never have seen Carcassonne,
I never have seen Carcassonne!

Just have to remember to stay clear of the Cathars and Waldensians. Don't want to end up in The Inquisition Tower.

Such an amazing place, a good example of sensitive restoration. Have you been? It's high on my list of places to visit.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

What a great place, reminds me of things Wrath of Gnon and European Beauty post on Twitter. Its amazing what they could create when they were properly motivated and had a true purpose and vision.

Some great stuff on there apart from the guy who called Stonehenge 6000 years old getting it wrong by about 1500 years.

Well, nothing can be more than 6,000 years old, of course.

True, those pesky fossils were put there by God to test our faith...

No, no... they have it all worked out. It was the flood that made all the sedimentary layers in a brief period of intense pressure. This is why the bones look like they are so old by the rock layers, but still have skin sometimes. Do you all really think the Grand Canyon could be made by glaciers or a river or whatever? :ugeek:

And in my soul am free,

Enjoy such Liberty" - Richard Lovelace
