I don't know what you're talking about Max. I cropped mine so the machete doesn't show.

Thousands of years ago, a large population movement began as the Viords, a Germanic group, pressed from behind, began to invade the Pictish islands. It soon turned into a medium-scale war, though it probably seemed like a full-scale war to those involved.
The leader of the Viords told one of his generals that he wanted to assault and take a particular tor because it would be strategically important. The general blanched. "Excellence, it will cost me dozens of men to take that hill, and I doubt that we could hold it."
"Silence!" roared the Viord leader. "I don't care how many men it takes. Everyone knows that one Pict tor is worth a thousand Viords."

It was overrated
It was a washout.
It was underwhelming.
It was a let-down.
It was below par.

or, as eta says, bs: if a bear shits in the woods, and neither bear nor woods exists, then the only thing the shit could be is bull.
