Stagedivin' & crowdsurfin' with drunken barbarians and elephants! Rock on! \m/
:drummer:

[Dooz]

Perhaps I should have posted these captions for the first pic first... oh well...

Guy on elephant - "Say, these new Barbarian vacuums work like a charm!"



And now the new one.

Gaul highest in the air - WOOO!!! CYNFAWR RULLEEESSSS!!!!!

Elephant rider crowdsurfing - I'm so messed up right now... Put me down, I'm gonna hurl!!!

[Mikeus Caesar]

The carthaginians thought it would be a great idea to squash the gauls with elephants. It would have been an even better idea to remove the riders first.

[Dooz]

haha... elephant catapults...

[Zharakov]

For the first pic:

Shield: 600

Industrial Strenght Glue: 180

British Solder: "I JUST GOTTA' BE ME!"

Suddenly, Eric realized he went to the wrong High school reunion...

[mfberg]

Everyone knew Eric was "special"

[Red Harvest]

Suddenly, Eric realized that he was still wearing his Woad pajamas...how long could it be before the others noticed? Maybe he was still dreaming? Perhaps he was just having nightmares before the battle?

[Herakleitos]

Eric had a real good first week at his new job. Nobody told him they didn't have casual friday here though...

[Kraxis]

Germans: "Deth to zee Brrritons!"
Eric: "I say, what a jolly good idea chaps! DEATH TO THE NOBLE BRITONS!"

Eric, while of noble birth, was a degenerate fool.

But enough about me, so what do you think of my shoes? Dolce Romana baby, OH MY GOD, with my feet only the finest Roman leather will do sweety! Now WHERE are you studboys running to? A rave?

~:eek: ummmmmm...Spino...is there something you've been wanting to tell us? ~:confused:

You...uh...wouldn't happen to be an interior decorator on the side...or...perhaps "into" theatre? ~D Not that there is anything wrong with that! ~:cheers:

[Dooz]

Eric sure caught on quick. Sudsy bastard.

[Kraxis]

When the battle went badly Eric was quick to find new masters.

[Paul Peru]

1. Guy under hind foot of elephant: All right. We'll call it a draw.
2. Each one convinced it was his personal delirium-related pachyderm sighting, none of the swordsmen wanted to let their mates suspect that they had noticed the obviously unnatural beast falling to the ground in their midst.
3. Eric: Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beierhund das oder die Flipperwald gehrsput.
I can't make this stuff up.

[Spino]

Yes, it's true! I must proclaim my undying love for thee! :iloveyou:

LMAO!!! ~D

Seriously though, when you consider the city I live in and the industry I work in (no, it's not fashion related) then it's easy to see how I have an uncanny ability to portray and mock those we can consider 'heterosexually challenged' within the confines of a simple post. They're all around the office!

Funny thing is I'm excellent with voices and can do a fantastic imitation of a flaming... err... homosexual, but it's something best left to friendly circles.

[Myrddraal]

Eric (thinking) "If I keep running along, maybe no one will notice..."
German (thinking) "Whats he doing dressed a briton, of course he can't actually be a briton, someone would have said something by now..."

[Blitz]

3rd: Eric finnaly realized that barbarian had the same face and hair

[Blitz]

Another one for the 3rd pic, sorry for double post.

German1: Should we fo anything about that guy? he look just like us i hope he is a German
German2: Nah! he's just a head hurler, he came here to collect unused head, he
won't do any harm, and of course he is a German look at his style of hair and his face, he is definetly German
German1: =.= i hope so
German2: allright let's go and kick some a55
Eric : Wow my act really do trick, thx to my mate for lending me his clothes.

[Mikeus Caesar]

May i just ask, but how come the name 'eric' ended up catching on?

[Zharakov]

When Catholic Germans meet Prodestant Britons...

[Dooz]

Well Mikeus Caesar, it all started with the first reply to the image, as seen here.


3rd pick: Eric likes to wear blue plaid pants unlike his trendy brothers.

Then it just kind of snowballed into what it is today. Yes, Eric has indeed become a pop-icon of the RTW world. Why just last week, he was struggling for his life in the fields of Tribus Saxones, but now, he has upcoming interviews with Jay Leno and Conan O'brien (whome he wishes to behead... Irish bastard...). Indeed Eric's success story is not one often duplicated. From the backwoods of Britannia Inferior to the Hollywood limelight, it is truly an inspiration to all the hard fighting warriors to keep on truckin' and maybe, just maybe someday they'll make it too...

Three cheers for Eric!
Hip hip! HOORAY! ~:cheers:
Hip hip! HOORAY! ~:cheers:
Hip hip! HOORAY! ~:cheers:

[Zharakov]

His life, of course, will be made into a feature langth movie...

From his birth on the family dirt farm. All the way to the battle seen in the pic. And back to the wonderious halls of Lundinium.

It will have action...

suppence...

drama...

and most importantly, hot Celtic chicks... ~D



So remeber. Watch the most anticipated movie of the year...

ERIC THE HEADHURLER! ~D ~:cheers:

[Red Harvest]

And you know that for historically challenged directors/producers there are only two choices of actors to take on the role of "Eric the Wrong Pants." So will it be Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt?

[Dooz]

Did anyone happen to catch the interview with Conan? For those of you who missed it, here's a short review.


Before Eric came out, they showed a couple of clips of him head-bowling.
http://img106.exs.cx/img106/9571/eric3ju.th.jpg (http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img106&image=eric3ju.jpg)

Then Eric came out. All seemed well.
http://img106.exs.cx/img106/6338/conanneric2te.th.png (http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img106&image=conanneric2te.png)

Conan asked a couple of questions about his days in battle, how many head's he's collected over the years, what his plans are for the future.
Then he made the mistake of bringing up Eric's father...
http://img106.exs.cx/img106/4311/ericsfather8ws.th.jpg (http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img106&image=ericsfather8ws.jpg)

...and making fun of him for his funny clothes.
http://img106.exs.cx/img106/7564/conan30lc.th.jpg (http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img106&image=conan30lc.jpg)

Eric became angry and stormed off stage...
After the commercial break, Conan was getting set to introduce the band that would play that night, The Emoticons, when suddenly...
http://img106.exs.cx/img106/8151/conanneric2finished6ju.th.jpg (http://img106.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img106&image=conanneric2finished6ju.jpg)

...Eric rushed on stage and attacked him. After an extensive beating, he proceeded to remove Conan's brain and force him to eat it.

He then decapitated the lovable talk-show host, and ran off.

Eric is now being sought after by the FBI.







The rise and fall of Hollywood superstars... so quick these days... *sigh*

Colourblindness sucks!

ROFL Wonderland!!!! ~D

That was great! :balloon2:

[Dooz]

Thank you Kraxis ~:)

You'll have to excuse the crudeness though... first attempts at editization.

And I love the balloon. I've named him Napoleon.

Untill one day, his homeland was attacked by a foreign army. He didn't care about war, but war cared about him. With no other alternative, Eric had to take up the heads of fallen foes past, step out of his protected gates and peaceful life, and fight to save his home and his womenfolk.

...coming Fall, 2008...

[Paul Peru]

May i just ask, but how come the name 'eric' ended up catching on?Also most people seem to be calling the Gauls 'Guy'. Why not 'Pierre'?

[Dooz]

Because everyone knows Pierre is not a Galic name... silly man...

[Paul Peru]

Because everyone knows Pierre is not a Galic name... silly man...
:bow: But Guy was common? I was joking, btw, which is not to say I was funny. According to my research most stone age Frenchies were called Pierre, while some were referred to as Guy, Lucy or Tonton.
Anyway, I stand corrected.
My new version of my caption suggestion is now thusly worded:
1. Sillicardtrix under hind foot of elephant: All right. We'll call it a draw.

[Dooz]

lol, perhaps I should have added a smiley face or something at the end of my last post because it isn't easy to distinguish sarcasm from seriousness online. I knew you were joking, and I counterjoked... we both phail... ~:)

[Paul Peru]

I kind of suspected as much, thinking that the "silly man" bit hinted at a jocular tone. However, I thought that English speakers might not automatically get the "Guy is a French name" thing.
I too sometimes use smilies too sparingly, but I like a good argument anyway. ~;) ~;) ~;)
Not to be totally off topic:
3. Günther (behind Eric): Let's see: wan, too, sree, four, fife, siks... He's not a fifth columnists... or are vee in hort formation?

[Dooz]

Günther (behind Eric): Let's see: wan, too, sree, four, fife, siks... He's not a fifth columnists... or are vee in hort formation?

Muahahahahaha :laugh4:




...and this... :knight:... just cause it looks cool

[Zharakov]

That was great Wonderland ~D

Good job :balloon2: (heres another ballon to keep the first company) ~:)

[Dooz]

Aww shucks... you shouldn't have... lol thanks

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Wow. Just for that, this thread should be stickied. Eric is a legend. Someday, years from now, the wrong pants will be made right. Justice shall be done. And a man named Eric will return home.

[Zharakov]

Or will he...?


dun dun duuuhnnn...

[Dooz]

*sniff sniff* What? Wha'ts that? Do I smell... sequel??

:smoking:

[Bjorn Bjornson]

I wonder if Eric's travels will ever cross paths with the always cunning and charming Akhaenniut Philopater (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=40792&page=1).
~:cheers:
I personally think that would be a quite interesting story indeed! :book:

[Dooz]

Why yes... yes that would be quite interesting indeed wouldn't it... we can only hope...

[Mikeus Caesar]

Personally, i think the story of Eric's life and any future sequels should be left to the master of RTW stories: Maltz!!! After all, you all saw his short stories, didn't you?

[Dooz]

Well, kind of breaking away from Eric for a moment here... here's a new pic for possible captions.

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up...

Surely the use of Eric comes from Erik the Viking!

Highly unlikely.
