Brave Sir Donald ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared it's ugly head,

He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about

And gallantly he chickened out.

Gingerly taking to his feet,

He beat a very brave retreat.

Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald!

Should have replaced "danger reared its ugly head" with. "logic needed to be said"

You…

You get the joke, right?

I’d say in this very specific context, it’s appropriate.

I think its Monty Python but not 100%

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yup. Monty Python and the Holy Grail to be precise.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

@Evil_[email protected] It's your time to shine!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

We are the lemmings who say "Nee".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No thanks! We already have one!

I told them we already have one!

Remind me again, was Sir Donald the one that planned the wooden rabbit?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it was the "scientifically leaned" Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Coulda fooled me, given the general quality of trumps planning and organization skills.
