Don't make Highlander miffed. You wouldn't like him when he's miffed.

That's because it's dressed up as the Spanish Inquisition.

It is hard to read but well worth the effort.
If you ever feel like Captain Picard yelling about how many lights there are, it is probably time to leave the thread.

You definitely won't like me if I'm vexed.

So many funny moments. One of the best:

DQ is expressing his love for the beauty, grace, an undimmed femininity of Dulcinea del Toboso to Sancho. Then at one point during his speech he says her real name.

To which Sancho says something like, "oh her?! Yeah, great gal! Stronger than most of the guys... practically "one of the guys" herself. And a voice like the ocean... why once she crawled to the top of a tower and bellowed out so loudly that the boys in her father's field she was chastising ran away." (all paraphrased).

bwahahaha!!!
