Even knowing all that...
It still sounds like a day celebrating cereal to me. 
Let's go to Nerva and invade Agincourt!

Only if we can get a two-fingered salute emote to use against the Longbow. A bit of irony there, I know.

"I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes."
And by a curious coincidence:
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

We few, we happy few...
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
In recognition of your strange holiday, I shall celebrate by watching the 2003 Willard!
And, perhaps, follow it with his performance in the animated Beowulf!
I've always enjoyed, as you say, Saint Crispin!
Glad to hear that he is widely recognized for his greatness!

Shakespeare for the win! Henry V is definitely one of my favorite histories.

I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

That's always just a fantastic speech and Branagh did a great job with it. Also, the music just makes that scene.

MA Arcs: Yarmouth 1509 and 58812
One of my favorite scenes in a movie!
On another note, I already wished all my history geek friends a Happy Saint Crispin's Day over on FB, so now I will do the same for my super-powered friends here!
Altoholic - but a Blaster at Heart!

You're making me want to watch Danny Devito's Renaissance Man again. I haven't watched it in ages. I love the Crispin speach in it.

That is simply outstanding. Well met, good sir, well met! |

I thought the same thing.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
