Random Rants LXVII: Emptiness = Melancholia*Cheerlessness^2

[gay_Aleks]

I've met Byzziephiles; they bring crime, murder, rape. When Byzantium sends their people, they're not sending their best.

Some of them, I assume, are good people.

 

[W|M]

All Glory to the Roman Empire. I promise I won't bring rape

 

[gay_Aleks]

at least the Romans managed to conquer most of Europe

all Byzantium did was being bad

 

[Kyriakos]

It did manage to open an eye or two.

 

[Takhisis]

When Byzantium sends their people, they're not sending their best.

Except for the sad interlude from 1204 to 1261, they did until 1453.

 

[gay_Aleks]

You and I have very different definitions of the word "sad", I'll tell you what.

 

[W|M]

The Latin Empire was a monstrosity that should never have existed

 

[Kyriakos]

Bunch of Lannister usurpers.

Bulgaria probably is the iron isles (sans the iron)

 

[W|M]

Sans the isles, too

That sad interlude brought Catalans with it.

 

[gay_Aleks]

See, again, we disagree. Isn't that right, @JohannaK?

 

[Takhisis]

Joan seems to be a fan of Mr. Purple Prince. Guess who were the princes born in the purple?

Original Kaloyan Byzantine Kaloy(i)an(nis). (ie Emperor Ioannis II Komnenos).

 

[JohannaK]

Prince's purple has nothing to do with these barbarians!

 

[W|M]

Don't deny it, he was born in the purple

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well this Valentine's Day could've ended better. Then again, not a lot of things that couldn't be improved.

 

[Kyriakos]

Says the person without even a real country (Catalonia) ^^

 

[W|M]

You mean Hispania Citerior?

 

[Takhisis]

Exactly. Prince's refinement is clearly Roman.

So I really liked my misheard Prince lyric "Maybe I'm just like my father, two fold." But no, too bold. This was all in the span of today.
