Arthur then goes on to get the scabbard from the lady in the lake, no?

[zestorum]

I've found a Team Fortress 2 reference! If you summon a spy and put a butterfly knife on the ground, he'll pick it up and drop his shuriken.

Have you tested a spy with other weapons?

[beorn080]

I don't recall if he ever visited the lady in the lake, except at the end, but my version might have been different.

Ah yes, the legend of King Arthur.  One of the greatest stories ever told, recounted by millions of storytellers in thousands of places.   But nobody can figure out how it goes.

[KaelGotDwarves]

As I recall in ... which was it... The Roger Lancelyn Green's King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, Arthur gets the scabbard from The Lady of the Lake, and Excalibur from Avalon. He breaks the sword he pulled from the anvil in a contest with King Pellinore.  Before the end of his life, Arthur goes to visit the Lady in the Lake again to return the sword, but doesn't see her as he is mortally wounded. Sir Bedevere sees her hand catch Excalibur out of the lake.

Also, Percivale was the one of the only knights of the round table to not be be a complete douchenozzle or get the shaft.

That's why. Ever played the game 'Chinese Whispers'?

Ever played the game 'Chinese Whispers'?

I was eight when I first played it. Embarrassment doesn't even begin to describe it. That day, I learned what a 'whore' was and, more importantly, that it wasn't Edwards mother. The actual line was 'Edwards thumb got stuck in the door".

[Neruz]

Bahahahaha.

Wait, what? You mean telephone? The first person whispers the sentence to the person next to them, and they go around in a circle to see how distorted it gets? Where the fuck is that called "Chinese Whispers"?

[Cheeetar]

I've never heard it called telephone.

[Granite26]

Actually the sword in the stone was not Excalibur. It was an entirely different sword called "Caliburn". Modern retellings tend to get them mixed up.

Also, Excalibur's scabbard was more valuable than the sword itself, as long as Arthur wore it he could not bleed, and would feel no pain.

This is what I was tought in English class...


Sadly, www.brokenpicturetelephone.com seems to be, well, broken

Here, in England, I've always known it as Chinese Whispers, although I have no idea why.

It's called "telephone" here in the States.

[Shoku]

I've heard it called both here in the midwest.

Chinese whispers probably has to do with how distorted things sound when people with a Chinese accent say them.
