gotta know one thing about the HMS Terror which its got three flavours of lieutenant: dandy, homophobic homosexual, and the saddest, wettest man you have ever had the displeasure of seeing
Annabella Lwin and Boy George of English new wave group Bow Wow Wow at Manchester University on March 14, 1981. George performed two concerts with Bow Wow Wow under the name Lieutenant Lush before going on to form his own band Culture Club.
This is going to sound crazy but hear me out: The three Terror Lieuts would absolutely crush trivia night.
I know, it sounds impossible, they're a sweaty nervous wreck of a trio but they are actually the best possible team due to their improbable combinaton of knowledge:
John's got all the religious stuff down but also since the Bible inspired Western Literature he's really good at that, while also being a talented math and physics nerd. He also lived in Australia, raising animals, so his font of odd knowledge is deep.
George also knows more religion than you'd think but between the autism fixations, research spirals and the insane amount of music knowledge he has because he Plays he's also got his front covered. From Bach to Ariana Grande, okay. And horror films <3
Edward is the only one of the three of them that has any idea how the government/politics/country functions, has sent things via mail, knows laws rules and regulations (for a court martial, anyone?) but also being the Middle Child means he has secondhand knowledge of all his siblings' interests and such.
They accidentally on purpose obliterate the competition, largely because the other teams suck for a variety of reasons, and the awkward way they accept the trophy becomes a meme among the sailors.
I like other, more popular ships! But they're not on this list, because there's you know... Enough spotlight on them already (Hickey/Gibson, Crozier/Fitzjames, ... you know) I just wanted to make a list for myself of the ones that I don't see that much of, but find interesting to think about. If any of you make stuff for these ships please let me know so I can follow you <33
