Putting the landlord's phone number on toilet walls after he evicted me thanks to a troglodyte headcase he moved into the shared house I was living in. This creature had been moved in after he'd evicted a couple with a screaming baby he'd moved in at the time that 2 students in the house were doing their finals. THis couple had then proceeded to bring somebody around who robbed the place including a lot of stuff off my friend who was over visiting for a couple of days.
Very fucked up house, that same troglodyte then robbed a box of books from me as I moved out including 2 signed copies of the Ian johnstone Nick Cave bio. I'd left the box in the hall awaiting the appearance of a taxi which never appeared.
Later I heard taht this same creature had pissed everywhere in the house. The bed in the room she'd been living in disintegrated when somebody tried to lift it and all the furniture throughout the shared areas of the house had to be replaced.
But I thought if the guy started getting solicited by gay prowlers it might be some pay off.

What - and I cannot stress this enough - the hell, Philip the Good of Burgundy. https://t.co/qLCqcTcAl4

A bridge constructed in such a way that it is possible to cause anyone walking over it to fall into the water below.
Several devices which, when set off, spray large quantities of water onto the people in the room.
Six figures which soak people in different ways. 6/

Gundling was confined in a chamber where the king kept a number of young bears while fireworks were rained down into the room from above; he was forced to wear outlandish courtly attire modelled loosely on French fashions, including a towering wig in an outdated style that belonged to the previous king; he was force-fed laxatives and locked in a cell overnight; he was pressed into a pistol duel with one of his chief tormentors, the joke being everyone but Gundling knew the weapons contained no shot. When Gundling refused to grasp or fire his gun, his opponent discharged a spray of burning powder into his face, setting fire to his wig, to the huge hilarity of all present

Even in death the king did not spare him humiliation. By royal command he had been compelled for a number of years to keep, in his bedroom, a coffin made from a varnished wine barrel, on which the following verse was written:

Here there lies within his skin
Half man, half pig, a wondrous thing
Clever in his youth, in old age not so bright,
Full of wit at morning, full of drink at night.
Let the voice of Bacchus sing
This, my child, is Gundeling
[...]
Reader, say can you divine
Whether he was man or swine?[10]

After he died, the king had his body paraded through the streets of Potsdam and then publicly displayed, wearing the outlandish costume he required Gundling to wear for his own amusement, propped up in the barrel. Various ribald songs were composed specially for his funeral, but the king's antics were so outrageous that the local clergy categorically refused to have anything to do with this parody of a funeral ceremony. Instead, the funeral sermon was delivered by none other than Gundling's long-time tormentor, David Fassman.

gonna assume "the Good" was ironic

15th century mark s: "Philip is the Bad not the Good"

just for clarity the King in that piece was Frederick I and not Phillip The Good as featured in Mark's link.

yeah but all monarchs are cunts tbf

he definitely wasn't good not bad either!

his hat was good:

I could imagine lots of instances of serious actual bodily harm resulting from pranks in the old days. And then people moaning about ye olde PC gone mad when someone gets prosecuted for causing 3rd burns and blinding some hapless prankee.

3rd degree burns even

i was saying boo-urns

being the king means never having to say you're sorry

also mad jack mytton to thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mytton#Field_sports

^^^namesake of the shropshire village my mum and dad lived in

He spent just 30 minutes in the House of Commons in June 1819, but found the debates boring and difficult to follow because of his incipient deafness.

His hat needs to be thrown in the ring toot sweet

rory stewart: "i took opium!"
michael gove: "i took cocaine!"
mad jack mytton with hiccups: *sets fire to his own shirt*

a "round-shouldered, tottering, old-young man bloated by drink, worn out by too much foolishness, too much wretchedness and too much brandy".

wish this would fit in a display name

although there are claims that he took 2,000 bottles of port to sustain himself during his studies. He certainly was not awarded a degree

not much fucking point in being a student in them days!

well apart from the lure of demolishing a huge stash of port .. fuck a degree.
