(inspired by a weekend with TangoMango and bandmates doing just this...)

Hokay...

you're sat round a campfire. You're barbarians. You're mighty-thewed, and strong. You're somewhat short on vocabulary. Think the campfire bit from Conan The Barbarian, except without the Post-It note-ness of it all... (HMM! Crush your enemies... see them driven before you... hear the lamentation of the women... ah yes! Milk! Must remember milk!)

The idea is to come up with nuggets of Barbarian Wisdom. The kind of thing that would make the other barbarians sat roudn the fire with you raise their drinking (or other types of) horns and say "TRUTH!!!" or "STRONG." It seems to be easier if you disallow the word "I", replacing it with "A MAN" (sorry, ladies, but it's a Robert E Howard world). Capitals help, too.

Like this:

A MAN COULD DRINK MORE BEER. BUT A MAN'S NEED TO MAKE WATER, OR TO LIE DOWN, MAY SOON OVERCOME HIM.

or

A STOAT MAY SPEAK TRUTH. BUT HOW COULD A MAN TELL?

The Evil High Priest talks too much. When he makes The Speech, make your move.

An army of zombie skeletons can't fight worth a damn, because the wizard controlling them knows squat about tactics.

A man may rule over his trembling nation with dark and foul magics for many a year, but if he has a daughter prone to the wearing of severe eyemakeup and very short skirts he shall surely be betrayed unto his demise.

This is really Judge Judy but it could masquerade as barbarian-speak:

Don't piss all over me and then tell me it's raining

Or, even better, A MAN MAY SAY WATER FALLS FROM THE SKY, WHEN IN TRUTH HE MAKES WATER IN A MAN'S FACE.

If you don't understand Valusian, don't order the "special" at the King Kull and Dragon!

Deep Ones fight badly in bright light, and they taste great with butter, lemon and almonds.

"A MAN AT TIMES DROWNS IN HIS VICTUALS. A SECOND MAN MUST THEN PASS THE FRENCH FANCIES FOR HIM, IF HE HAS HONOUR! THIS IS TRUTH."

Oops, sorry:

IF YOU DON'T SPEAK VALUSIAN, DON'T ORDER THE "SPECIAL" AT THE KULL AND DRAGON!!

DEEP ONES CAN'T FIGHT IN SUNLIGHT, AND THEY TASTE GREAT IN BUTTER AND ALMONDS WITH A LITTLE LEMON!!

HAND ME THAT LEG, WILL YA?

BJACQUES!!! HAVE LEG. A MAN HAS ROAST LEG TO SPARE. FOR A MAN.

A MAN MAY EAT A LEG, BUT HAS A LEG STRENGTH? A MAN WOULD NOT THINK SO.

A MAN WHO SAYS NOT DUDE IS NOT STRONG- SUCH A MAN MAY STEAL THE LACES FROM MANS TRAINERS. DUDE, A MAN COULD TOTALLY GO FOR SOME IRANISTANIAN TAKEOUT RIGHT NOW. ROAST DRAGON BALLS, MMMMMMM...

A MAN MAY BECOME CONFUSED WHEN THAT MAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT A FRENCH FANCY CONSISTS OF.

A MAN MAY BE DISTRACTED BY THOUGHTS OF WOMEN SKILLED IN THE ARTS OF LOVE AND THOUGHTS OF CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND PASTRIES AND THOUGHTS EVEN OF LARGE CUPS OF GOURMET COFFEE FROM FRANCHISED COFFEE SHOPS.

A MAN MUST THINK HARD ON THESE THINGS TO FIND THE TRUTH.

*QUAFFS MIGHTILY*

A MAN MAY SIT ON A LOG BY THE FIRE, AND TOUCH NOT HIS ASS TO THE DIRT. BUT WILL A MAN NOT ALSO HAVE TO LEAVE, AT SOME POINT, TO RELIEVE HIMSELF? CAN HE NOT CALL "SEAT-BACK"?
