The Most Egregious Editing Gaffe of All Time

[Tuomo]

I hope everyone is enjoying their copies of Journal 17. As well as they are able. Assuming they can recover from the stupendous emotional impact of reading Bill Cirillo's View From The Box article and stumbling across this discussion of the numerous TotR overlays:

On the good news front, many of these overlays are large, representing huge tracks of land.

TRACKS. OF LAND.

TRACKS OF LAND.

I... I... what do I even SAY.

Bailiff, is there even a Procedure for this? What kind of punishment is appropriate? How many lifelong bans? Does it go unto the umpteenth generation? We are SO outside Normal Reality here.

How can any of us get a Monty Python quote so WRONG? Was it editing? The Map Elves? Bueller? Rock, Sergeant Dan?

I GOTS TA KNOW

Ummmm..,it’s a railroad pun of a Monty Python quote… 3-D chess type stuff…

One day lad this will all be yours.

What ? The curtains?

But Bill... you had the moment. It was RIGHT THERE.

I think you overthought it

"What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge ...... tracks of land."

It was "tracts of land" in the movie, wasn't it?

Pretty much sums up my life.

Obviously the movie was correct at the time. But we now have a new and modern interpretation.

One could even say that "Sean wrote a huge tract on tracks which then spawned a communal tract on tracts versus tracks."

I'm tracking with your reasoning. I hope this doesn't become a protract vs contract debate. If we follow that track, the result would be intractable.

Sorry, honorable mention.

And here I thought the 'huge tracks of land' were the JagdTigers...
