Bruges, 1302.

The townes people haveth started a rebellion due to the swine King Philip IV of France! He hath decided to make take Brudge under French control! Doth thou and all other noble Flemish wish to taketh our pants down and accept French enterage? Nay! There is pride amoungste our people, indeed many scholars in centuries hence will proclaime that Bruges is the economic equivelant of Florence north of the alps. It is an epicenter of trade, with exclusive textile partnerships with England and Portugal with Hansiatic ships coming in day in, day out. We art powerful, and will strike back at the greedy French for their folly.
  Though the French are jementous, they do not all deserve to die. Though this is what happened, in the massacre of an entire French garrison. We tested their flemishness by seeing if they could say "schild en vriend" (shield and friend), and if they couldnt, we gutted them. King Philip returned with 12000 troops, including many cavalry. Against our 9000 militiamen with no horses, things looked grim. To our advantage, we built and covered trenches for flanking cavalry. We fought hard, we fought ferociously, and we won. We picked up and kept the golden spurs coining the battle name.

It would become historically remembered as one of three major battles in medieval Europe which was incited by the lowerclass to have defeated their masters/owners.

Scientists at Alberta Institute of Applied Stuff have made a new breakthrough in fuel saving technology. They discovered that the average motorist can save 15% on their fuel bill by mixing in a baby kitten during each gas fill up. According to initial tests the mixture was demonstrated to enhance engine performance, increase fuel economy and raise awareness. The  scientists argue in their research this could be a game changer in the energy world and help break our dependence on foreign oil suppliers.

But at what cost...

AT WHAT COST...

Let the start of this blog mark the end of all things decent.

Hello everyone!

It has been years since the members of the fourwrittersclub have come togeather and written about the Village of shouldice, Roger the stray cat, or making ridiculously awesome comics.
But the time has come when the ashes of the fallen will rise up again and join anew with fresh minds fully willing to expose themselves to the toil and torment of the internet trolls (literally). My hope is that no one gets along, and ends up fighting constantly. Why? Because harmony is not interesting. All writers have therefore been issued illegal rabies pills I picked up in Lombok. I want to imagine frothing at the mouth when I read these posts people!

Well... sometimes. because for now I want to talk about how silly semi trucks look with no load in it.

Hahahaha, dont they look funny? I know they are big, but I still imagine that they are lost children looking for their way home. Never quite at ease with their vehicle brethren around them until they have their load attached. Or maybe like a turtle without its shell. Same story with tug boats not having a boat to pull.

How can we make these trucks feel more secure about themselves you might ask? Well after some research I have found the perfect substitute load= ears with big holes in them. Here is a rough sketch of what it could look like.

The driver is in there to make it seem more realistic.
