D'artanian wasn't a musketeer. He just a friend of the other 3.

Also: For a group called the "musketeers" they didn't use a helluva lot of muskets in that movie.

There was like one scene with muskets in the book. Even then, I grew up with this material (in the form of several different movie and cartoon adaptations, and eventually the book, too), and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that the name musketeer comes from the musket.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I figured it out just now.

Pas fort, Dwayne, pas fort...

Unrelated, but just wanted to say that I appreciate your username. Would vote for you for president.

[-] Volkditty@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Ok, explain Mouseketeers, though. WTF is a mouseket?

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

A mouse sized musket.

I learned it from Civilization.

I used to speech to text because I couldn't remember how to spell it and apparently the dictionary on my phone doesn't know either. 🤣

Surprised it put the apostrophe in there and didn't just give me "Dartanian."

Although it did seem like two were coked up and one was drunk.

I swear the only saving grace of that movie is Tim Curry who knows full well he's in a shit movie and decides to have fun with it anyway.

Everythings better with a bit of Curry.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
