Fatguys Banner - Vert, a tankard Or.

Thumper

(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of "Windy")

    What is that weapon smashing my helmet
    So crumpled that I can no longer see
    My once sturdy shield is now in two pieces
    Friedrich is using Thumper

    (Chorus:)

      A two handed war hammer
      Thumpers a real head slammer
      I'll you in all candor
      When it comes down
      You're in the ground

    Just look at Friedrich there in the melee
    Pounding on every body he meets
    Soon there're all going to be six feet under
    Friedrich is using Thumper.

    (Chorus)

    The list field is full of bodies embedded
    Into the ground by two feet or more
    Just like tent pegs into a grape pounded
    Friedrich is using Thumper

    (Chorus)


History. The Story Behind this Song

 One of the fat guys, Friedrich Karl von Wolfstein, fights with a huge two handed war hammer. In wars he likes to hide in tree and jump out and pound people with it. One of Michael of Aquitane's more notorious doings was to cheer on a friend in a crown tourney - shouting "Pound him into the ground like a tent peg into a grape." After his friend won and became king he augmented Michael's arms to a tent peg going through a grape.
