The year is 1627 and the plucky Huguenots are holed up in the castle at La Rochelle where they are besieged by the dull-witted, yet depressingly efficient troops of King Louis XIII and his evil, but strangely charismatic, chief minister, Cardinal Richelieu. Into this scenario come four plucky young soldiers,
whose womanising and roguery is really quite charming and shouldn’t be held against them, plus a mysterious man wearing an iron mask for no apparent reason.
Our protagonists are irresistibly drawn into a tangled web of intrigue & treachery as the Count, who seeks vengeance for…oh no. This has all been done before hasn’t it? Sorry!
[marked-for-expiry] dull.

Ahh, I (sort of) get it now... Du-plicate(er) - but towards what does it reference? Who, or what is "endupliquet" in this instance? [zen_tom, Apr 04 2011]

so mark the *of* for deletion? |
|
| |
what's wrong with heaving bosoms? |
|
| |
+for the iron mask for no reason |
|
| |
//'du' is a contraction of 'de le' meaning 'of the'// So the title
contains a duplicate preposition? That's not a bug, it's a
feature. |
|
| |
But I think the Count spells it "du Pliquatièrs" |
|
| |
bigsleep, mouseposture, yes, but the pun, such as it is, doesn't work then does it! I too had an encounter with the Count of Kronenberg on Friday. He does get around a bit doesn't he!
tc, nothing that I am aware of. There really should have been some bodice ripping in there somewhere as well. Also, re: the link, oh god no! |
|
| |
Yes, sorry z_t, I can be a bit obtuse at times. I was just switching the words around to get Count of Duplicate Ideas. And then the 'eers' ending suggested Dumas and suddenly a crap idea was born! I just added in heaving bosoms to attract the low end of the market (that's you, tc, in case you are in any doubt!). |

/du Plicateers/
I thought that meant there was two of them. In French. |
|
| |
Pun works OK if you pronounce "du Pliquatiers" properly.
Very old family, with funny ideas about orthography. The
Psmiths are a collateral branch. |
|
| |
But "Musketeers" is English, Dumas French. It really should
be "du Pliquetaires" since the title was _Les Trois
Mousquetaires_ |
|
| |
Yeah but no but most people would pronounce Mousquetaires as "Mouseketeers" and then zen_tom would have been sidetracked into research about the Mickey Mouse Club and would be left wondering what Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera et al had to do with the halfbakery. It's bad enough that he had to spend half the day reading about knee inflammation. |

Something is very wrong with me...my breast have
yet to "heave". (Or at least I think they haven't.) |
