Feudal horn? Talk about talking mental.

"Shelter" does not contain Bob's only reference to a "feudal horn." How about
this reference from "Floater":

My old man, he's like some feudal horn
Got more lives than a cat

[Max]

I hear that as "Fleugel Lord"

Are these examples getting worse or is it just me?

I think it's feudal lord. Wouldn't that make more sense.

You mean to say it's not "bugle horn"?

Methinks there are lots of people here who didn't get that it was
a joke...

If I remember my Western Civ 101 correctly (and I probably don't), in
the middle ages, the eldest son of a feudal lord was usually
automatically the heir to his fathers lands and fortune. However,
times being what they were, it was very difficult for a son to make
his own fortune in the world. He sure as hell wasn't going to work in
the fields with the peasants. If he could make his own fortune, it
was usually through warefare and plundering. So the eldest son of a
lord would sometimes spend decades wandering around Europe, looking
for trouble or trying to avoid it, waiting for his father to keel so
that he could collect his inheritance. This would tie in well with
the next line in "Floater" about his father having "more lives than a
cat".

I think the line in SFTS is either futile horn or funeral horn. I
haven't listened to it in a while.
