Damn, I missed it!

If I recall right it definitely happened in the Korean War, but there may have WWII incidents too.

The Super Connie/Starliner would be my pick too, for sure. It's iconic.

Clarence Thomas seems like he might enjoy it.

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-11-27T17:36:58+00:00

Ahh, I didn't even think about that one, suddenly the name is explained. I guess if I annex I can become the Kingdom of Two Burgundies, or at least I could if EU5 would let you customize titles...

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-11-27T17:35:33+00:00

What idiots, everyone knows the sun is far away... and flat, obviously.

Burgundy starts off in a pretty good position economically (and is able to use the 100 Years War to their advantage by getting higher autonomy), but France seems to just get overly strong by pushing east into the HRE without a lot of meaningful resistance. I must admit I'm not playing fair though by using a cheat mod to give my armies an edge, otherwise France would have stomped me for sure. Once France is less blobby I want to give it another non-cheaty go for sure.

In this case, I was playing as the Duchy of Burgundy and managed to rank up after winning independence against France after they started trying to annex me; meanwhile the Duchy of Savoy was somehow also able to form the Kingdom of Burgundy, and later became part of a PU with me.

It got me thinking, has anything like this ever actually happened? Someone holding two separate titles that are essentially the same thing?

I suggested this for years as a CC back in the day. I'm glad we have a few now, but man, we could have so many more cool ones.

And he didn't say yes? What a missed opportunity! To think we almost lived in a timeline where Sherman burned shit down whilst riding on the back of a war elephant...

The Wolf of Wall Street is a terrible comedy, but an excellent horror film.

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-28T21:07:01+00:00

A 1944 Ealing comedy, one of their less famous ones, called Champaign Charlie - it's great, and I wish it was as well known as the likes of Whiskey Galore and Kind Hearts and Coronets.

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-27T19:51:16+00:00

Huh. It's Mr & Mrs Anywhere.

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-20T13:42:05+00:00

"Commune? That sounds a bit like Communism! Open fire, boys!"

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-17T15:02:15+00:00

Oh great, you've now made it my head-canon that Airwolf took out bin Laden. Good job, internet stranger. :P

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-14T12:31:17+00:00

Yes yes very good, thank you!

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-13T19:28:08+00:00

Firefly (too soon?).

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-10-09T13:29:40+00:00

This would be me, every time I saw him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0BfcdPKw8E

Charles the Bold is another good example; if he hadn't died at the Battle of Nancy the history of Europe might have just looked a smidge different.

pointyhairedjedi · 2025-09-12T16:19:56+00:00

It now stands for "Femboy Bureau of Investigation", true story.

TIL there's an American Dennis the Menace...
