This reminds me of one time in the Dark Albion campaign, when one of the player characters ended up in command of a small force of men during the Rose War (something he was exceedingly proud of).  He was determined to make an impression, to do something to make him gain some renown, more than just for competent leadership, apparently.

So he goes and gets himself a whole troupe of Morris Dancers, and at the start of the battle has them line up in front of the line when the enemy is already arrayed for battle but before the trumpet sounds, and has them all dance at the enemy.

I think he was under the impression he was going to be intimidating or something; or maybe just seeming so confident of his abilities. But the enemy commander was not impressed. He just got the longbowmen lined up and fired hell on the poor bastards.  In the end, every last one of his morris dancers was dead, in what could only amount to a mercy killing.

I see this sort of thing now and then but it's always silly stuff like "A la peanut butter sandwiches!"

yah gronan said the same thing and in find that interesting and in a year and a 1/2 campaign we think i only did 2 or 3 joke chants total each time they where just to good to pass up but they only ended up jokes because they where that good a joke to make the every one and the dm fall over laughing level
