That's why you never have just one child.

 

Harlequin is an interesting character.



He has five different walks, in the tradition of the Zanni. Harlequin is the agile fusion of both the wise Zanni and the stupid Zanni, allowing him to go in a second from being comical level idiot to similarly comical feats of genius. If he ever witnesses any woman being wooed in his presence he must forcibly become a rival which often includes downplaying and ridiculing the efforts of the first suitor. His motions are often agile in addition to being completely spontaneous and with a complete lack of knowledge of self - so he may go to sleep where he is or throw carthweels instead of walking.

I find that characters such as Mr. Bean are Harlequin like characters in a more toned down and contemporary English setting.

Harlequin like all Zanni before him carries a wooden sword and he usually has a master - to the master's detriment, really.

 

seems pretty easy to me, leave it where it is, odds are if you make the attempt you're going to fuck it all up anyway.

 

It's not just the odds, it's the law.

On the other hand, you should and then just laugh about it. To mess it all up will help you release from this bondage.

 

Well I'm not terribly OCD, I mean, everyone is a little bit, but my OCD is generally doing shit to piss off other people's OCD. I once took the foam we used at work for stuffing boxes and arranged them into a check board pattern because people kept bitching about either having the black foam, or having the white foam (slight differences in how you stacked them, some preferred one over the other) That cart literally sat untouched for almost three weeks, I was very proud.

 

With my job ending, was hired as a consultant for a new startup during it's incubation period.

I wrote my title as Space Viking.

 

Ripley... is that you?

No, it's a Finnish soldier from Continuation War. The fuel tank was masked with a backpack so it would not attract additional attention (besides the guy spouting huge flames from his weapon) and they also attached the Suomi KP smg to the flamethrower itself so the operator would have more options for engaging his enemies even from range.

Though it could be that there was a xenomorph infection on one of those coastal fortresses, you never know.

 

Early adopters of the 'Kill it with fire' philosophy.

 

Byzantines: "Are we a joke to you?"

 

Replica of a Greek Fire weapon, including a pressurized pump that allowed a continuous stream to be propelled. Skip to 7:30 to skip all the "oh my gosh" and "would you believe, it was teh Panzer laser of it's time!" crap.

(If that was filmed in Europe he would just wear a regular leather jacket)

 

I mean, it's gone in and out of popularity throughout the ages. Fire was one of our earliest tools, and killing things was our most popular hobby, they were bound to cross paths periodically.
