Note: This post made sense before poster I replied to edited the Walpole reference out. Now, not so much... I recommend watching the entire series on the South Sea Bubble that Extra Credits made (5 episodes). Walpole gets a lot of action in it.
Too funny. I initially deleted the Walpole reference. I didn't want to go off on a tangent. I reinserted it, however, so your post makes more sense. I'm spending way too much time immersed in early British Hanoverian politics.
Happy belated quinquennium, @TIF! This was posted sometime around the start of my hiatus, so I missed it. The neckbearded, Rickrolling Gallienus was a new one on me. ROFL
