Well I was coaching rowers to GREATNESS wasn't I?
Before I can consider your request you must bring me the pickled testicles of Attila the Hun.

Those were testicles?
GBM told me they were pickled eggs and bet me I couldn't eat two in under 30 seconds.
Phooey, I guess the wedding's off.

Yeah, because Attila was a seven-foot tall, muscular white guy instead of the short, large-headed, piggy-eyed Mongol that Priscus described in 448. McFarlane's is clearly the more reliable depiction.

Ok, ok but appearance can be deceiving!

"the only extant description of his appearance by a Roman court historian states that Attila had "a flat nose, swarthy dark complexion, broad chest, short stature and small eyes, but full of confidence" among his features, suggesting physical features common among Mongolians" ((
