Sorry I wasn't listening to you, I was thinking about the Duke of Wellington's personal 11-foot-tall statue of nude, totally jacked Napoleon.
Twitter thread! (and yes Kate Beaton's "Nemesis" comic comes up)
Oh my goooodddd, im crying at Napoleon basically hiding it in embarrassment only for it to be put on display in the main room of his enemy
Napoleon: ... nice statue imma just *throws it into the basement*
Duke of Wellington breaking into Napoleon's house: OH BOY LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND–
What I wanna know is why Wellington put that statue there. Like was it some kind of power play to show off how he vanquished Napoleon, or did he just think it was a really nice statue?
Every time someone brings this up, I have to be the one to tell them that the statue was a gift to Wellington from the Prince Regent, and it wasn't looted. The British government paid around £3000 for a giant naked statue of Napoleon. Wellington had to put it somewhere people would be able to see it, or he'd offend the Prince. Love that for him.
shoulda been a blackadder episode about this shit
GENERAL STRIKE 2023!
me the 3rd time I’ve gone up to this guys hotel room to ask him to stop vaping because it’s setting off the fire alarm because the clouds are so thick it’s disrupting the sensors and he answers the door all freaked out and jumpy and I have to go in and look around and make sure there isn’t actually a fire only to find that the curtain rod is broken and the closet shelf is broken and the sheets are tied into ropes and when I asked him about it he admitted to me that he did a lil meth and decided to try autoerotic asphyxiation but nothing was sturdy enough and to please not tell his boss because he was in town for job training and they’re paying for his room:
