Knights, Cats, and Foul Beasts





"M’lord be it gay if I doth touch lance tips with Ser Gawain?"







Yeah! Some dragons or maybe a Foul Beast! . . . oh oh, nevermind.


Here's a brave knight fighting a modern Foul Beast . . .
may he (or she or they) have better luck!

The nonchalant one could be me. People have no idea how hard nonchalanting can be.

Val Ewing said...

All of them are cool, but the last one is the best!

Tundra Bunny said...

I bet you worked many knights for this post... last one is my favourite LOL!

Tom said...

...we all need thick skin these days!

Travel said...

Thanks, I needed this today.

Somewhere in a Los Angeles Memorial Park, Dean Martin is still inebriated and laughing his remains off on that "armore" groaner.

Boud said...

And now you have to go see J Draper on YouTube trying on armor. No cats, but great stuff.
Yes,why knight people if they don't get on with knighting work?

@ Milleson -- My job here is done.

I chalant all the time.

🤣😱 Thank you, Debra, for perfect laughs on this very unfunny day. You are scary prescient!
Trump just "Truth" Socialed that an "entire civilization will die tonight!" This insane man thinks he is Richard the Lionheart (actually, Trump doesn't know who that is) and his insane war chief thinks Christians are finally going to win the Crusades!! That's why Pete Kegstand wanted to get the "fatties" out of his armies...they don't fit into the armor!!
Open a book, Donald the Pussyheart!! The Christians lost!! The only once-great civilization you could kill tonight is the United States of America!! Turns out that big "conservative" plan for the US should have been titled "Project 1291" instead of 2025!! 🤬🤬

I had to do a google lens search to see if the medieval picture of the hugging horses was real and it indeed was. Is. The horses are supposed to represent their own clashing, supposedly. But it sure likes like they're hugging to me.
I'd love to see Sir Elton joust with Sir Mick.

We all needed these laughs today, Debra.

DB Stewart said...

Knights are still cool though, ha.

Kathy G said...

Lotsa smiles and giggles today.

Mary Kirkland said...

Medieval Knievel, that's so funny. I grew up watching the stunts he and his son did so this made me laugh.

Moving with Mitchell said...

Some days all I need is your wit. I’m usually chalant.

Cela rappelle mes voyages aux tournois de joute du château d’Arundel, en Grande-Bretagne, du château de Brézé, en France et de la joute sarrasine d’Arezzo en Italie. Une telle splendeur :)

I laughed at Medieval Knievel. Thanks for that.
I hope things are going smoothly for you, despite the worldly messiness.

@ Anonymous (Monsieur Dupuis) -- Quel plaisir! Je vous envie.

Always fun.

Kirk said...

All the medieval imagery is appropriate since we seem to be heading to another Dark Ages

Katerinas Blog said...

Unfortunately, these are timely images, Debra.
I really liked the last one.

Janie Junebug said...

I love these. I, too, would ride to work if I had coconut shells.

Love,
Janie

River said...

"couldn't find my coconut shells"! I almost choked while laughing 🤣😂 The others are all good too.

Rade said...

Very fun collection!! R

Duni said...

The ones with the cats 😹

Liz Hinds said...

I love the armore and the horsey ones.

Iris Flavia said...

Love the hugging horses. And wonder if Duke Henry wore armor when he killed the dragon to save the lion.
Love the "No Kings" - to Knights. My Brother is a musketeer for one weekend each September.

The Happy Whisk said...

lol even the cat got armor. What fun.

We have two Timmies near by. One makes better food and the tables aren't too bad. The other makes worse food but the tables are much better. Both are nice to hang out for a good chat with a gf and a read. Though ours stopped making pretzel bagels. Boooo.

I hope the knight in the last photo has some success against the evil orange man he is going to fight. :)

Mike said...

That knight saved a lot of travel money by attending a local event.

Fundy Blue said...

Only you find hilarious things like these, Debra! 🌺❤️🌺

Cheers to the valiant knights taking on corrupt kings
