Seven Year Old Internet Treasure from SomethingAwful
SomethingAwful.com has been an inspiration to me for many years...so I can't understand why I haven't linked to this article before. Oh, yeah, something about the fact that the whole site is pretty much NSFW, so I would never put it in my 'PG' blog, Anachronista, for fear of causing an angry mob of villagers to attack me with pitchforks and cabbages.
But here at LOLMedieval I have no such qualms.
So, brave adventurer, dare ye enter the portal of SomethingAwful? Seek and ye will find pages and pages of images crafted using the Historic Tale Construction Kit, aka The Bayeux Tapestry instant internet MEME generator.
Behold...THE LINK: Medieval Tapestry Masterpieces!
