To explain: This is not a reference to Raw's enigmatic "Banana Hammock" of the past. It is a reference to a form of outpost defence tried experimentally early in Lord Hannibal's reign. It consisted of His Highness's attacking troops finding a small hill, erecting a series of posts around its crown, and then wrapping around those posts with huge rolls of (usually) red cloth, to form a wall behind which the brave troops could shelter and defend. This was an innovative solution to defence, but over time, it became clear that it was slightly vulnerable to attack by fireballs, or flaming arrows, or even a match applied to a strategic corner........and so was eventually abandoned; it became known, by those who had publicly applauded Lord Hannibal's inventiveness when he came up with the idea (after all, cloth was easier to carry and faster to erect than stone.....), as "The Emperor's New Cloth". It passed out of defensive fashion.Hannibal wrote:BANDANA HUMMOCK !!

My mom said you tried to get her to "help you out" but she said if she wanted shrimp, she'd go to Red Lobster.
