Is that what dwarf bread is based on?
Either that or Nature Valley crunchy granola bars.
(Dwarf bread is probably based on hard tack, a puck of dense biscuit eaten by sailors in the far off days of long ahead. A bread so dense it would make US Southerners weep, and explains the lack of teeth on sailing ships far better than scurvy)
Good to know! Thank you.
I only eat Koom Valley brand granola bars
It is amazing, though I think Thud is my favorite, as nothing has made me attempt to stifle a laugh harder than Vimes screaming, “Where’s my cow‽”
Is anyone expecting people to actually keep all the disc world novels apart?
I like how just saying ‘Scone of scone’ makes you just a little bit genetically Scottish.
Must have been originally forged by the McDonald clan.
How was it used to crown monarchs? I’m having trouble imagining the scones role in the crowning procedure.
Looking at the Wikipedia article for the actual stone of scone, it’s a rock that the king sat during the ceremony.
Yes and no.
It’s a national symbol of Scotland stolen by England after putting down Scottish rebellion. There’s another large stone very important to Ireland that was also stolen by the English.
They then had the Scottish stone put into the seat of a throne so the king or queen sits on Scotland and they had the Irish stone put into basically a footstool and kings and queens would rest their feet on Ireland.
It’s a diss track via furniture and old rocks.
Pronounced “Scoon”
Thank you!
It’s the name of a small village on the site of an Abbey where the kings of Scotland were traditionally crowned.
Ah, thank you. That makes more sense.
I watched a funny Irish man talk about this in a video.
So it’s small? Big? Heavy?
66cm x 42.4cm x 26.67cm and 152kg converted from old fogey to metric.
So yeah big and heavy I’d say.
