Dragons, Alligators and Exploding Oil Tankers Menace Epic True Love

I know that the above title sounds like one of those random spam subject lines, but it makes sense if you watch this little gem, trust me. It is spectacular and jaw-dropping in a way that only earnest attempts at grandeur can ever be.  Seriously, go watch it.

It forced me to coin a new term:
Medievage: med·iev·age
Pronunciation:
\me-ˈdē-vij\ n
1. Variant on cleavage, referring specifically to popular modern depictions of medieval costume such as you might see in a Eurovision music video or being worn by female attendees at a Renaissance Faire or Oktoberfest. See also entries for "Saucy Wench Archetype," "Cinematic Depictions of Olden Tymes," "Romance Novel Cover" and "dirndl."

You know those those stupid questions like, "If you could invite any three people, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be?"

Well Chris Dane Owens just made my list. Tough luck, Abraham Lincoln.

i think that mustache is also a menace to epic true love.

But it is the mustache of a true hero, a warrior for love! Henceforth it shall be known as the "lovestache."

O M G
you've outdone yourself with this little discovery. I don't even know where to begin my commentary, so I'm just going to watch it again and hope one day BenLau can greenscreen me into a similar situation. Where's my puffy shirt at....

Wasn't that a big B52's hit? Lovestache?
