This sounds brilliant. Do they shoot priests and bishops at each other too? And do they use solely Christian ammunition or are the cannons multi-faith? Any nuns? They'd be pretty streamlined I'd imagine, better for accuracy. 

I sense that you’re being sarcastic.

@WicketMaiden Regarding the canon cannons, I was thinking something more along the lines of firing old copies of Shakespearean works at each other. Sounds kinda fun.

More like silliness or irreverence really @Tank, a canon is a junior clerk in the church, so the typo conjured up visions of a Monty Python type epic of Napoleon firing churchmen from cannons at confused seafaring Brits (who would naturally fire them back at the French after patching them up a bit). It tickled me.

The nuns would definitely be more aerodynamic, but I do like the idea of the damage the corners of those heavy books could do @Don, so maybe we fire the nuns holding Shakespearean tomes! (With one in each hand they could use them as flaps to steer through the air.)

Oh, you just did not bring out the nuns?

I watched Master and Commander years ago.

I liked it. 

I think.

Ok, I've had 2 people i generally trust tell me a new show called Peacemaker is hilarious.

Should I believe them?

So now I sense you’re being historical. 
 

I respect that greatly.

I haven’t seen it, but it’s a spin off of a comic book movie, The Suicide Squad.

That's why I'm hesitant to watch it. That know that it's not really my thing, but they seem to think I'll find it entertaining.

A comic book show/movie (I don't really know which it is), that is getting no nerd chat.  That should tell you something.  Plus it's DC, and they are a trainwreck to begin with.

You need better people to trust.  It was a train wreck.

Thanks, buddy!

The Army uses Cannons.

Re-watching Fringe on HBO Max. Easily one of my favorite shows of all time.

It starts off slow, a bit reminiscent of X-Files. Just stick with it.

Saw the first episode of Reacher on Amazon Prime.

Seems like it might have potential, if you like that sort of thing.

Yeah I watched the first four episodes and seems to be a decent series. Some decent acting mixed in with some not so good but I do like the story so far. Of course Reacher has his shirt off on a routine basis but at least we get to see deputy Roscoe's boobs in episode 4.

I watched the whole thing, I think I am a loser.  I liked the Reacher character in this, stupid done well.  It is worth finishing but give it a C.  The people who will think it is great are the ones who watch the Bachelor and think it is real.
