Era in French History when [[Marie Antoinette]] [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|tried giving her subjects a little dietary advice]], who responded by storming Versailles and putting her and her brave husband Louis XVI to death by the guillotine. Their son, the Dauphin, makes it out of France alive, though, thanks to the tireless efforts of that "demmed elusive [[The Scarlet Pimpernel (novel)|Pimpernel]]". Everyone in this time period wore pastel-colored satin, big fancy wigs, fake beauty marks, and snorted snuff like it was cocaine. Unless they were poor, in which case they wore trousers with tricolor badges and sung "String the aristocrats from the lamp posts!" whilst [[Torches and Pitchforks|waving their pitchforks]] and gnashing their rotting teeth. Don't forget about taking down ''l'ancien régime''.
