Completely off-topic, but the linked song very vividly reminded me of an idle thought I had years ago about Jean-Jacques Ragulin (post-enbluesification) cutting a heavy blues-rock live album with The Art Of Noise. This would have been on the track list.

The album's name would've been Lors, Le Bruit Ici!, which is one of those bilingual referential puns that feels really clever if you are a faintly pretentious muso like Ragulin still kind of is. It roughly translates to "Man, It's Noisy In Here" (for those who don't have random bits of UF trivia poking them in the brain, the first Art Of Noise live album was called Man It's So Loud In Here), but it transliterates to "Man, The Noise Here!", which... well, they are.

Dragging this back on topic:-

The combined arms of the von Katadien-Scarlet house probably bears the motto "Suus Non In Annis, Suus Milia Passuum". For them as don't speak (mangled bastard Google Translate) Latin, that roughly translates to "It's Not The Years, It's The Mileage". =]

Per previous comment, I am and retain a dork. =]

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

"The von Katadien insignia is smaller and less prominent than that of House Scarlet," said Remilia as she looked up from her drawing table, "but we won't hold it against you, mon fidèle coursier. The weather of late has been so frightfully cold."
