Like I said, Ang Lee needs to do a movie. He's the one. Or at least his
fight scene director, the guy who directed "Iron Monkey" and worked on
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

You arrived in Ostgardr just a couple of years too late for the cattle
raid Celtic Silliness. We had the Viceroy and Vicereine stage an
argument about who was richer: Ian with his fortune or Katherine with
her dowry. Finally, it came down _almost_ to a draw, but Katherine was
short by one bull in her herds. Luckily, we all knew Graf Viktor was
nearby, dressed in a cow suit over his armor, just there for the taking.
That is, if anybody could beat him... he would accept all challenges,
sometimes go up and beat on a couple of other guys fighting, and go back
to eating grass...
