St George's Day [Archive] - The Explosm Fora

It's Saint George's Day, bitches! The day that celebrates England and how fucking awesome we are by focusing on the badest motherfucker to ever be made a patron saint. As well as being Patron Saint of England, he's also patron saint of AWESOME. Which is actually the same thing. For those HEATHENS who don't read the bible/fled england like pussies from a harmless bit of religious persecution 400 years ago, here's the scoop on this epic badass.

Saint George was a knight back when knights were still hardasses in armour on horses and not senile dickheads who make 'contributions to television' and other shit like that. He rode around on a horse, stabbing shit, wooing ladies and probably playing poker and drinking a bottle of whiskey for breakfast. [citation needed]

Anyway one day Georgey is riding through this town and all the towns people are like 'oh noes' (they actually talked like that back then, I'd know I was there) 'A dragon be killing us and shit'. Now unfortunately one of these geniuses had the idea of appeasing the dragon by feeding it pretty virgins. Now if I was having slammin' hotties served to me literally on a plate I wouldn't be going anywhere. Clearly the towns people were FUCKING RETARDS, but thankfully St G knew that retardeness is easily cured with senseless violence.

So off georgie trots to the dragon's lair to sort this bad boy out. The dragon's about to eat his latest chick, who just happens to be a princess or some shit, when he sees Saint George coming, and he looks well pissed off. The Dragon's all like 'what is this shit' and george replies 'fuck you' and stabs the scaley mother fucker in the face with a ten foot long sharpened piece of wood (probably a literary metaphor for his penis). The dragon dies like a fucking pussy and George grabs [The Lady's Favour] Which he doesn't even really want but fuck the disenchanter he's been moaning all the way fucking through and the wipe was his fault.

Then George returns the chick to the village (probably after shagging her brains out, let's be fair), tells them all off for making human sacrifices to a false idol (cos he's a christian by the way), beats the shit out of them with a bible, then leaves as if nothing happened to go be chivalric elsewhere. Later he joined up with King Arthur and slaughtered Arabs with Orlando Bloom. Probably.

So yeah, there we have it. Discuss how fucking awesome England is and how lucky the world is to have this wonderful utopia of a country, and also how much of a fucking awesome badass Saint George was. Mostly the Saint George thing though.

:cheerio:

Was he also a homosexual? You know, like most English people?

Did he say "fuck you" or "excuse me chap, I do hope I'm not being obtrusive, but would you care to discuss the current affair over a spot of tea"? Or maybe he is very angry when he came in and yelled "What's all this then?!". And he had a cane, and was wearing a suit and tophat. And a monocle.

It's great that he got the (hot?) chick that the dragon was going to eat, but it's too bad she was a frigid British girl.

Nope, as already mentioned he was a womanising badass. Also please don't base your english stereotypes on CharlieH.

Did he say "fuck you" or "excuse me chap, I do hope I'm not being obtrusive, but would you care to discuss the current affair over a spot of tea"?
It was definately 'fuck off'.

Or maybe he is very angry when he came in and yelled "What's all this then?!". And he had a cane, and was wearing a suit and tophat. And a monocle.
Nope, he was wearing badass armour, and his 'cane' was ten foot long sharpened pike (or 'lance'). And when he got angry he was all like 'fuck you bitch' and then he stabbed and/or raped them.

It's great that he got the (hot?) chick that the dragon was going to eat, but it's too bad she was a frigid British girl.

Yeah but that didn't matter because he was a bulging avatar of manliness and as such was stronger than her.

Don't get jealous just because your patron saint sucks/doesn't exist.

Yeah everything is more awesome when you add a dragon. Imagine if the WMDs in Iraq were actually a dragon. Suddenly it's not a brutal invasion of false pretenses, it's a QUEST!

Even though St George is the most Badass patron saint, he's not the best. That award goes to St Patrick, A patron saint who, when you celebrate him you can get absolutely shit-faced.

St. George is the patron saint of leprosy, syphilis and herpes.

Not cool.

St. George is the patron saint of leprosy, syphilis and herpes.

Not cool.

He's the patron saint of the poor and sick in general, because he's the knight saint and they protect the meek. Don't knock that.

Also Murt, Paddy chased a few snakes. Impressive, but not exactly KILLING A FUCKING DRAGON, is it? And who says we don't get wrecked today?

Dauntasa

04-23-2008, 7:14 AM

I'm related to the guys who killed Saint Thomas. He wasn't nearly as cool as Saint George, though. All he did was pray and resist peacefully. Then my ancestors cut off the top of his head and stabbed him in the brain.

Yeah but in a day and age where you get fined for having the flag out your window, it's kind of hard to feel patriotic, evn on today of all days.

04-23-2008, 7:59 AM

Why the fuck do you get fined?

Murt

04-23-2008, 8:17 AM

Because there are alot of political correct retards that think patriotism is the same as racism.

Yeh Quadros, beating a Dragon is more badass. Not hard to Force snakes, not like they breathe fire or anything, but St Paddy's is probably the biggest patron saint day there is.

Nonetheless, Happy Saint Georges day to you sir.

Thats because America is full of plastic paddy's.

Murt

Well, So is England, Scotland and Australia full of "Plastic Paddys". It's because we are so widespread that St Paddy's has been so massively celebrated.

Quadros

04-23-2008, 8:45 AM

'I'm Irish because I live in America and I'm white'? Yeah that pisses me off. Celebrating another country's culture over your own is pretty fucking lame, in my oh-so-full-of-myself opinion. It kind of takes the importance away from the festival if it's celebrated out of context.

And Murt in Britain, Australia and America the festival celebrating the effective development of your modern culture centred on the missionary who sybolically achieved it has been bastardised into an elaborate drinking game. Does that not piss you off?

I'll take this one. Yes, it really does. It's fun to have the reputation as being partyers (sp?) but it does go too far most times. Paddy's Day here in Dublin can get scary as the day goes on. Not being taken seriously abroad is also a problem. Our day, as you say, is nothing but drink when there is so much more to our culture than just getting drunk. I get drunk at most once a week but go out 3-4 times, we're not all alcoholics we're made out to be. /rant

Murt

04-23-2008, 9:13 AM

I think he actually make a very valid point. I know most of the "alcoholic" stereotype would now be on the students, I know this as I am one, but once out of The universities and colleges, Many people would drink one night a week. And it does piss me off that it has been turned into just a excuse for a Piss-up. But you have to see that sadly, it seems that the younger generation of Ireland now associate St Patricks day with alcohol, as is shown by the last where there was a major under-age drinking scandal.

Oh! Does Ireland get St. Patty's day off?!

Murt

Yes we get St Paddy's day off, usually we have Parades and stuff going on. We are pretty patriotic, just like you Americans, and St George is as important to English as St Patrick is to the Irish.

We do have people from Ireland here, but there are alot of people who patronize the holiday just to get fucked up, and probably aren't even Irish. Cinco De Mayo, on the other hand, is another country's culture that is celebrated here, and the only people who really do celebrate it are of course, the Hispanics, Latinos, Spaniards, and Mexicans. Other people do use it for another get-fucked-up holiday, but its pretty much unheard of.

Hey now let's not forget that we celebrate pagan culture on October 31st by getting shitfaced and causing petty mischief. Don't let Saint Patrick and whoever they celebrate on Cinco de Mayo take all the glory. Pagan power!

Also as a few of you may be aware, this is the time of year when we celebrate Moses' parting of the Red Sea by voluntarily constipating ourselves for 8 days. Don't steal the thunder from humanity's cockroaches, Saint George. :argh:

To be honest all the Irish people I know are ridiculously heavy drinkers, even among us students. But that's besides the point. The point here is that Saint George was fucking awesome and so is England.

An old family friend who lives in Dublin is like, 60+ years old and has never had a drink in his life. Not even a glass of wine at his wedding. Freak of nature, he is.

Yes we get St Paddy's day off, usually we have Parades and stuff going on. We are pretty patriotic, just like you Americans, and St George is as important to English as St Patrick is to the Irish.

I celebrate St. Patrick's day because I'm pretty much full Irish. Great-great-great-great grandparents came over during the potato famine, and then just married a bunch of other Irish folks, and a Scot here and there.

I celebrate Cinco De Mayo because I have a lot of ties to Hispanic culture. My sister married into it, then I have Hispanic friends.

But I just use these things as excuses to drink.

Bringing me to my main point: Fuck England. It holds nothing for me. And Fuck St. George. Last I checked, Bruce Willis has done WAAAY cooler shit than that guy. And he's fucking AMERICAN.

I've never heard of St. George until now and while Quadros your explanation of him was purely entertaining to say the least, it doesn't tell me much unfortunately. Though, I will say, England seems a pretty cool place in some ways. Maybe Europe in general too. I want to visit so badly, even if you people (or the british, whatever,) like to talk about red headed people.

Bruce Willis has done a lot of cool shit though.

04-25-2008, 2:54 PM

I think it's because the ones, like me, who do like to keep some British culture find that America is becoming more sewn into British life. For example, through television and when you hear a British person using American terms it just gets annoying. As more people do it, it becomes more the norm which is even more annoying because we are British! Plus there is the whole George Bush for him just being utterly ridiculous, not saying our Priministers aren't either but yeah, they are some of the reasons I can think of.

Oh, and the fact that they seem to think they are the only country that matters.

Firstly, Bush's approval ratings here (below 30%) should give enough reason for Brits to not hate America as a whole for his actions.

Second, last I checked, we are the only country that really matters. When was the last time England did something cool like stopping Communism?
