"Hast thou ever unleashed thine crossbow to the heavens and exclaimed “arghhhh!”?
Celebrate the amazing Hot Fuzz with this memorable quote, Bayeux-ified for your amusement: "have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone 'aaargh!'?"
Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, this pattern features medieval figures: two dudes chatting, and one dude firing ye olde gun (crossbow); . The font is a recreation of the original tapestry-look writing, and the whole pattern is enclosed within a maroon border.
